One this surface, there are four
Lifting shadows show an open door

Ilia is enveloped by white and blue
He reaches up, then out to you

Denis taps with his skate's edge
The ice reflects a promise and pledge

Katia steps forward into the light
Luminous on this winter's night

Elena trusts her partner's strong hold
Katia and Denis spin smoothly as a pair

Changes like winter into spring
All skaters present have worn gold

Changes like winter into spring
Four want to Tell Me Everything

Joining together in lyrical fashin
A portrait of mesmerizing passion

With the final stroke, they pass on by

On the last note, some will smile...
and some will cry
