And after all and after allA
nbsp nbsp nbsp Our passionate prayers and sighs and tearsB
Is life a reckless carnivalC
nbsp nbsp nbsp And are they lost our golden yearsD
-
Ah no ah no for long agoE
nbsp nbsp nbsp Ere time could sear or care could fretF
There was a youth called RomeoE
nbsp nbsp nbsp There was a maid named JulietF
-
The players of the past are goneG
nbsp nbsp nbsp The races rise the races passH
And softly over all is drawnG
nbsp nbsp nbsp The quiet Curtain of the GrassH
-
But when the world went wild with SpringI
nbsp nbsp nbsp What days we had Do you forgetF
When I of all the world was KingI
nbsp nbsp nbsp And you were my Queen JulietF
-
The things that are the things that seemJ
nbsp nbsp nbsp Who shall distinguish shape from showE
The great processional splendid dreamJ
nbsp nbsp nbsp Of life is all I wish to knowE
-
The gods their faces turn awayK
nbsp nbsp nbsp From nations and their little warsL
But we our golden drama playK
nbsp nbsp nbsp Before the footlights of the starsM
-
There lives though Time should cease to flowE
nbsp nbsp nbsp And stars their courses should forgetF
There lives a grey haired RomeoE
nbsp nbsp nbsp Who loves a golden JulietF
