about

Of Mrs. Bentley, all her treasures well-earned.

lyrics

Miss Helen was a beauty in her day
The face that launched a single ship to Shangri-La
The sunset stole it down beneath the bay
But what a sunset
What a sunset
She will say.

Now Helen is a keeper of the time
In ticket stubs and tokens that reflect the past
They shine to show the girl she is inside
Who dances with the music
For as long as it will last.

A love so deep and wide it took a lifetime to fulfill
Is filling up the spaces of her heart's home, even still
The moments and the memories surround her, and somehow
She feels it just as if it all were happening right now

And Helen dreams her own dreams in the night
The pictures move with stories that she will not tell
She sleeps and holds them close, but not too tight
And they will keep her
They will keep her
Very well.
