Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Listen to the wind on the water Listen to the waves upon the shore Try to sleep, sleep won't come Just as I begin to fade Then I remember When the moon was full and bright I would take you in the darkness And do the tango in the night Tango I keep the dream in my pocket Never let it fade away Inside, outside No loneliness in this dream Then I remember When the moon was full and bright I would take you in the darkness And do the tango in the night Tango
