Aria No. 17

John Taggart

1

Thrill is gone thrill is gone away-ay-ay-aay

thrill is gone away-ay-ay-aay from me

even the chance or possibility

chance or possibility gone away from me

daughter of the queen in her open skirt

daughter in her open silk skirt

fold over fold one fold over one other fold.

2

Hours of beauty dance of the hours of beauty

no place saved in the dance of the hours

no place saved in the dance for me

no place in the dance

in the dance of the hours of beauty

daughter of the queen in her open skirt

daughter in her open silk skirt

fold over fold one fold over one other fold

folds like the folds of a flower unfolded.
