Once upon a lullaby, once upon a dream

See her walk in silent splendor

Across the silver screen

Watch her shiver, dance and quiver

Through the blessed night

No words spoken, no hearts broken

The endless sea of light

She'll never pass you on the stairs

So serene and so aware

Leave the endless night behind

Feeling breathless through the night.

Behind the smile the stranger lies

Leading us to the masquerade

Behind the smile the stranger lies

Behind the smile behold the night

She came to me a child of winter

Sad and lost and cold

She grew her wings and learned to fly

Before the summer called

It was on a night like this

When she stole our first caress

Should have told her there and then

Each beginning brings an end

Behind the smile the stranger lies

Leading us to the masquerade

Behind the smile the stranger lies

Behind the smile behold the night
