Let us search once again
through the pages of the past
let us just once more
turn them over, turn them over

let us just this once
use the magic of the lantern
and ask the whim of smoke
to help us search.

We lost it forever it seems
and I'm afraid it will stay that way
and just in a while I'll forget
what it was, what it was

so let us this once, dear
hold hands with closed eyes
and pray that it will
just this once reappear!
