Les Diables Derniere Danser

The horizon azure with streaks of amber The crackling of gravel beneath the horses feet Hundreds of guests quiet their banter Just to hear the sound of his heartbeat Golden rays peek behind The Manor The crowd applauds as he trickles down two steps to a carpet above stone He turns towards the carriage to see a beautiful smile from cheek to cheek Stars fill his head as he reaches a shaky hand to help her But there’s no need She floats down like an angel from her seat She turns to face him as she giggles from embarrassment Never thought the world would look at you and only you he asks She hits his chest and laughs Her eyes melt him like ice scorched by flame They walk the path as the guards open the gate Roses and daisies line the ground below them The ball room is empty as the two exchange a glance The guests behind cheer for a dance He takes her hand and pulls her close to his soul And the chandeliers light make an angel in Paris glow The pianist plays Liebestraum With every key he plays his love for her grows Around and around they go dazing in each others eyes till he hits his last note Again they clap their hands in endless cheer Only they aren’t cheering for him In her ear he whispers They’re applauding for you my dear As she bows her head he looks at her in awe For in his head all he can think Is she’s the most beautiful woman he ever saw
