Twilight world
Over the China sea
Sings me a melody
From ages ago
In a twilight world
Watching the sampans pa**
I fill a frosty gla**
As lanterns burn low
Life is a changing panorama
Love is a dancing bu*terfly
Catch them both while we may
Come to Spain or Cathay
I don't want to miss that will o' the wisp
Pa**ing by
Life is holding out a twilight world
Don't let it slip away
Come take it while we may
Make it begin
Let's find our twilight world
Before the night sets in
