if I could have the words to change 
to speak into the world would they fly 
I wonder if they'd put them in a jeweled box for sale 

Chorus 1 
but I need to strengthen the things that remain 
it's sad but true 
beauty never selled(s) 
in everything the same, it's true 
it's sad but true 

I want give in to what they want 
or has the window closed any way 
between the world they want to hear 
and what they love me to say 

Chorus 2 
but I need to strengthen the things that remain 
it's sad but true 
beauty never selled(s) 
money makes the rules, it's true 
it's sad but true 

one of these days something will break through 
I want to 
but I wait a whole world, 
but I wait a whole world 

it's sad but true 
it's sad but true 

- Chorus 2 - 

- Chorus 1 -

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me out on the moonlit floor.
Lift your open hand.
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance.
Silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me.

Kiss me down by the broken tree house.
Swing me upon its hanging tire.
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat.
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me out on the moonlit floor.
Lift your open hand.
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance.
Silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me.
