It was in the year eighty-five,
I went to the Opera
And I saw you behind the mirrors,
You looked like Lauren Bacall.
And I know, day after day,
And I feel, night after night,
Love was real, time after time.
I won't ever forget this sketch of love
You told me a few words
In my life, when there's no love
Men and women play forever
In an eternal sketch of love
Don't tell me, I can't remember
That night at the Opera
You hurt me, divine Diva,
You always play with men and love
It was in the year eighty-five,
I went to the Opera
And I saw you behind the mirrors,
You looked like Lauren Bacall.
And I know, day after day,
And I feel, night after night,
Love was real, time after time.
I won't forget this sketch of love
