Lyrics
Back when there was beauty in the world
Women had such elegance and grace
Fashion came and fashion went
Inner style was permanent
At least
When there was beauty in the world
Long before the circus came to town
Every woman's drama was her face
Eyes that glittered like a gem
The lovers we bewitched with them
Back then
When there was beauty in the world
Taste and poise
Were universal
Now it's noise
A dress rehearsal
Gone the past
The age of everlasting beauty in the world
You're asking me?
I want a useful opinion, who else am I to ask?
Very well then - it congeals.
What? Congeals? No. You wear it too thick. Hold still. ...
With a product of quality you have to know how to apply it.
No clod - a thin layer with a deft hand. It's a pity, eh?
Yes?
Now we stand
Among the many
Grains of sand
The same as any
Strange with you
I see it all again
Like new
A glimpse of beau-
Ty in the world
Time plays funny tricks on you and me
I never dreamed
We would be standing here so near the end
My lifelong foe
My never friend
Perhaps we helped each other to survive
And thrive,
Uphold the flame of yesterday
Let's let the chips fall where they may for willing day
For two who knew true beauty in the world
