Nobody else remembers, do they?
Remembers what?
Back when there was beauty in the world
Women had such elegance and grace
Fashion came and fashion went
But 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
Warn the past
The age of everlasting beauty in the world
So tell me: you think it's good, this lipstick?
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 glop! A thin layer with a deft hand
It's a pity, eh?
Yes?
With your pretty pink pots, and my crรจme?
We might have ruled the world
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 beauty in the world
Time plays funny tricks on you and me
I never dreamed that we'd be
Standing here so near the end
My life long 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 two who knew true beauty in the world
