Once upon a time When the cold wind that blows When the cold wind that blows in my heart It was a summer breeze and she Would meet me in Chinatown for opium and tea And she always brought me flowers But I spared you those old ballads Or songs that I couldn't play But every giro day She'd dress me like a lady boy And take me out of the way Don't let the horse chase the new deal away, no If we make love in the morning I see your eyes look like two marbles in your head Lady don't you fall backwards C'mon and fall into my arms Aw, don't you fall backwards Well, I wouldn't want for you to come to any harm Now tell me, if darkness comes Then I will sing you a song And I will love you forever At least 'til morning comes Lady don't you fall backwards Come on and fall into my arms Come on and fall into my arms
