When you begin the heroin You dream of music so tender A night of tropical splendour When you begin the heroin
I’m with you once more under the stars And down by the shore, an orchestra’s playing And even the palms seem to be swaying When you begin the heroin
To live it again is past all endeavour Except when that tune clutches my heart What moment divine, what rapture serene When you begin the heroin
The stars that were there before return above you And I whisper once more, “Darling, I love you” And suddenly in Heaven you’ll be in When they begin the heroin The heroin
