A Dance As Old As Tears

Love is hard and leaving would be easy
But my love I know we’ll find the answer here
But every night the moth and candle light
Still dance the dance as old as tears

It’s a dance as old as tears
Rough and smooth like a river
It will survive hand in hand
Cross that divide love will deliver

Love I know we were up now were down
Don’t you see its just a game played by the years
But every night the moth and candle light
Still dance the dance as old as tears

It’s a dance as old as tears
Rough and smooth like a river
It will survive hand in hand
Cross that divide love will deliver

So share your heart with me
Light and dark with me
And darling in return I yearn
To dance the dance as old as tears

It’s a dance as old as tears
Rough and smooth like a river
It will survive hand in hand
Cross that divide love will deliver
