Life is a dead end street Oh, but the music's sweet Shine in your finery For a day tonight Oh, Marianne (Oh, Marianne) Let's hold on while we can Tomorrow will come And we will be gone Our lives are drifting sand Here, on the Silver Strand We talk in a Spanish hand We sing "Siempre a la moda mi corazon" Oh, Marianne (Oh, Marianne) Let's hold on while we can Tomorrow will come And we will be gone Our lives are drifting sand Oh, Marianne (Oh, Marianne) Let's close our eyes and dream And live in a song where nothing is wrong And there's a place for you and me the world is a sad place So put on a brave face And dance Make a wish on a wild wind Let it fly to the world's end And dance, and dance, and dance Oh, Marianne (Oh, Marianne) Let's hold on while we can Tomorrow will come And we will be gone Our lives are drifting sand Oh, Marianne (Oh, Marianne) Let's close our eyes and dream And live in a song where nothing is wrong And there's a place for you and me Oh, Marianne (Oh, Marianne) Let's hold on while we can Tomorrow will come And we will be gone Our lives are drifting sand Oh, Marianne (Oh, Marianne) Let's close our eyes and dream And live in a song where nothing is wrong And there's a place for you and me
