Artist/Band: John Denver
Lyrics for Song: Dearest Esmeralda
Lyrics for Album: I Want to Live [1977]



Dearest Esmeralda, in another age

Antiques would be modern

We would be the rage

Silk would be in fashion

We would dress in lace

Love would be the passion

And the saving grace

I slept one rainy night with you in Paris

Made up for a thousand wasted years

Dearest Esmeralda you are magic

I close my eyes and you make love appear

Dancing in the shimmer

Of a crystal chandelier

Shadows singing so low

Only we could hear

Moving to the glimmer

Shaking to the storm

Outside it was raging

But inside it was warm

We said goodnight in the candlelight and thunder

Now I wake and find you're never there

I'm becoming old enough to wonder

Happy that I'm still too young to care

Masterpieces crumble

Empires tumble down

Refugees and fantasies go underground

Romance lasts forever

Love don't fade away

They may take our future

But they can't stop yesterday

Cause somewhere in the cloudy skies of Paris

We were part of some artists design

Dearest Esmeralda you are magic

In the gray around me how you shine

Oh, how you shine!
