In the dim moonlight
Below the heaven’s eyes
She danced and danced
On the streets that lay by
Trying to change her sad destiny
Into the fairy clouds of beauty.
Â
In the rain, when the thunder cried
She went on with her appealing glide
Her tattered dress had a distinct glow
As though blooming on the cactus were a tender rose
Trying to change her sad destiny
Into the fairy clouds of beauty.
Â
The reign of sorrow stopped at last
A charming gentleman turned out to be her Romeo
Her smile shined in her dancing amber eyes
The gray-eyed man had picked the rose
Helping her change her sad destiny
Into the fairy clouds of beauty.
