I guess the dance is over now.
So, you just curtsey and I'll bow.
And ask the band to play us,
"Auld Lang Syne."
Then I'll just take what's left of me,
Right back to where it used to be,
And you'll go sail your magic carpet
Far across the sky.

I wish I could have made it more like the movies for you.
Some pretty, Technicolor way it's never been.
I'm sorry when I kissed you, you only heard me whisper.
You never got to hear those violins. Did you girl?
No, you never got to hear those violins, no.

The castles that you built so high,
Were just too steep for me to climb.
And I guess these dirty streets of mine,
Were just too rough for you.
I wish I coulda helped you see,
Just one of your sweet childhood dreams.
But though I tried I could not make,
Not one of them come true.

No, you never got to hear those violins.

Oh-oh, I'm sorry when I kissed you, you only heard me whisper.
You never got to hear those violins.
No, you never got to hear those violins.
