A boy can dream, but what a pitiful sight to see,
lonely as he can be and he knows it
she’s out of reach, but what a sad and lovely sight to see
when she’s walking away on a path that’s paved with roses
She said “I don’t mind if I get lost until tomorrow,
maybe somewhere far away where petals fall like snow
and the water follows down a path paved with roses“
She silhouettes the horizon and waits right there for the night
his heart was forever rising like a searchlight in the sky
she was born into luxury on the opposite side of town
he sees through the trees in the moonlight only what she shows him
then she said “alright, come on, I’ll really show you something, it’s down on 5th Avenue”
and she led him away on a path paved with roses
She said “I don’t mind if we get lost until tomorrow,
maybe somewhere far away where petals fall like snow
and the water follows down a path paved with roses“
