limelight

And that night you'll dine together

on a balcony

overlooking the Thames.

It'll be summer.

And you'll be wearing

pink mousseline.

And he'll be conscious

of its fragrance.

And all London

will be dreamy and beautiful.

And in the elegant melancholy

of twilight,

as the candles flutter

and make your eyes dance,

he will tell you he loves you.

And you will tell him

you have always loved him.
