The time and the weather, headlines and the local news

Just to hear the incredible sound

Like no one, that they've ever seen

He's flying, he's living a dream

The magic fades as the sun comes up, it's time he goes

A hand on his shoulder, he turns around: it's Teri Gross

As the room explodes, they dance like angels
