Embrace Not the Blues of Yesterday - Chapter 5 - Finale

At least I won vast grace Your face – it shimmers anew Like snow, caked with morning dew You glisten in the moonlight We’re on heaven’s height We kept on running out of time But, tonight, it’s you and I, having a sublime time On the dance floor, dancing in a trance Dancing in a tranquil trance We blend like coffee and cream You boosted up my self-esteem You made me beam this shining night I walk by faith, not by sight Tonight…tonight… Now, everything is black and white One day, you and I will shine on Like the brink of dawn You took away the coldness of my heart You are the star I look up to all along I’m sorry – maybe I wasn’t your kind from the start But, baby, the DJ is playing our song Tonight…tonight… Now, everything is black and white I lost the feeling of fear You are the key to endless cheer You lifted up my frown You wiped away my tears, The years of me, breaking down Mirror the hardships that I have encountered for a thousand years Now, can you have some empathy? You provide me with hopes and joys of plenty You are…you are my sunrise And I am…I am your sunset I memorize the lyrics to your favorite song I’m mesmerized by your sunlit face In your warm arms, in your warm arms, I belong I long to feel your embrace of incredible grace Embrace not me…embrace me not… x2 I don’t wanna be rooted to the spot and rot Embrace me not, sorrow of yesterday’s tomorrow… Embrace not me…embrace me not…x2
