You come to see me
On a Saturday
Presenting peonies
Knowing just what to say
We dance until
The break of dawn
I turn my back
And then you’re gone
Swirling in a sea of stars
Twirling to the strum of guitars
No one tangos quite the way you do
But now my dancing days with you are through
You think I miss you
Each time you disappear

Music and lyrics by Gianni Boncompagni

Over the valley
I saw a silver cloud
With a pink lining
I said it right out loud
There’s no denying
You are my one and only love
And we’ll see over the valley
The moon rise above
Over the valley
Just above the fray
The sun is setting
And when we’re old and grey
I’ll still be betting
You are my one and only love
And over the valley
The moon shines above
Over the valley
This house among the trees
Where we’ve been hiding
Making our memories
And I’m deciding
You are my one and only love
And we’ll be over the valley
As the moon shines above
The autumn breezes carry all the bluebirds
Down to where the sun still shines
If we could hold this day
In our hearts someway
We would never roam
Ever far from home
The autumn breezes carry all the bluebirds
Down to where the sun still shines
If we could hold this day
In our hearts some way
We would never roam
Ever far from home
Over the valley
Just above the fray
The sun is setting
And when we're old and grey
I’ll still be betting
You are my one and only love
And we’ll live over the valley
You’ll always be with me
As the moon shines above

She is walking quickly
Like there’s some place she must be
In her eyes, there’s no one
There is no one she needs

You come to see me
On a Saturday
Presenting peonies
Knowing just what to say
We dance until
The break of dawn
I turn my back
And then you’re gone
Swirling in a sea of stars
Twirling to the strum of guitars
No one tangos quite the way you do
But now my dancing days with you are through
You think I miss you
Each time you disappear
(reprise) Maybe I used to

Now just be gone
