- _______
-
- The sun is sinking low in
the sky above Ashokan.
- The pines and the willows
know soon we will part.
- There's a whisper in the
wind of promises unspoken,
- And love that will always
remain in my heart.
- My thoughts will return
to the sound of your laughter,
- The magic of moving as one,
And a time we'll remember long ever after
- The moonlight and music
and dancing are done.
