I suppose a single rose
Is pretty as it gets
And when the lights go down at night
I love the quietness
I love shy glances, slow romances
And hats that hide a kiss
Lets you and me go back in time
And find the things we missed
When hands were gentle
And words were kind
And love could wait a long long time
And private matters held their hush
And grooms were gallant
And brides would blush
Does it seem a silly dream
Played back in black and white
Pearls and gloves and hymns of love
The lines of wrong and right
Well let's hush the cynic
For just a minute
And let the dreamers dare
To dream of love that never fails
O won't you take me there?
When hands were gentle
And words were kind
And love could wait a long long time
And private matters held their hush
And grooms were gallant
And brides would blush
Shut the shutters, power down
Let the world spin back around
To deep respect and no regrets
The dignity of you and me
When hands were gentle
And words were kind
And love could wait a long long time
And private matters held their hush
And grooms were gallant
And brides would blush
