Twilight World

Twilight world

Over the China sea

Sings me a melody

From ages ago

In a twilight world

Watching the sampans pass

I fill a frosty glass

As lanterns burn low

Life is a changing panorama

Love is a dancing butterfly

Catch them both while we may

Come to Spain or Cathay

I don’t want to miss that will o’ the wisp

Passing by

Life is holding out a twilight world

Don’t let it slip away

Come take it while we may

Make it begin

Let’s find our twilight world

Before the night sets in
