lyrics

A cold December street with slush and snow,
A lady in red waits alone,
Her beauty demands a second look,
A more radiant light has never shone,

A taxi approaches from the Western light,
Cleaving through obstructions galore,
Coming to a rest beside her curb,
This is what she's been waiting for,

A graceful man emerges from the freshly opened door,
She'd met him just a year before,
His smile is wide and his eyes are true,
Her true love's presence restored,

A short walk to the playhouse,
The gentleman holds her close,
The door gets held for the smiling pair,
Their withheld affection shows,

A long drawn curtain o'er the stage front,
People pouring into their seats,
A short wait, and the lights are dark,
The chorus sets the scene,

A lonesome dove alone on his perch,
He decides to take to the skies,
An innocent display of stage fright,
He's forgotten what it looks like to fly,
