LIFE IS OUR ENCORE
Words by Paul Norman Tapp ©2024
Where do we go when we dream
And we come to an open door
I don't know for sure
But surely life is our encore
I heard this melody playing
Cabaret South France
I asked a woman with runs in her stockings
May I have this dance
She rose scarf fell from her head
Floated softly to the floor
Extending her hand she whispered
You know life is our encore
Where do we go when we dream
And we come to an open door
I don't know for sure
But surely life is our encore
Put her head on my shoulder
Dancing to mandolin strings
Somewhere deep in my heart
I heard ancient voices sing
When the song was over
She was walking out the door
Turning she whispered once more
You know life is our encore
Where do we go when we dream
And we come to an open door
I don't know for sure
But surely life is our encore
That was fifty years ago
When I first heard that melody
And like some ghost in the wind
Still the notes are haunting me
No I never saw her again
When she walked out the door
Still I hear her say to me
You know life is our encore
Surely life is our encore
