[Verse 1]
Once I knew a woman
Unmatched in her grace and beauty:
She was everything
I hoped a woman could be.
But since we went our ways,
I knew I had to find some way
To keep her in my mind’s eye
And make her whom I should see.
[Chorus]
I see you, but only that:
The code is cold and does not reciprocate.
I’m blinded by what I want to see.
My heart is yours;
Won’t you take my breath away
For real?
[Verse 2]
Now, drinking her image,
I cannot shake the feeling
That still it’s not really her-
Colored pixels and nothing more.
And so I still feel so empty,
Blinded by what's not real.
If only she’d come to me
And touch me so we might feel!
[Chorus]
[Solo]

Belle (How Can It Be?)

[Verse 1]
How can any one heart display such beauty
On full array for all the world to see?
How does any one soul act so kindly,
Live so fully, and so unbounded be?
How can it be,
The wonder that is she?
[Verse 2]
How does a goddess dwell upon this mortal plane,
Spreading love and light wherever she so deigns?
If only I could stay here in this place in time,
I might find out what it takes to stay right by her side.
How can it be,
The wonder that is she?
[Chorus 1]
Oh, when I think of her
My heart starts to quiver.
How I want her love,
If only a sliver!
Why is it so hard
To capture someone else’s heart,
When beauty easily
Shatters mine apart?
How can it be,
The wonder that is she?
[Verse 3]
When beauty’s out of reach and still my heart intrudes,
Revitalizing the darkest of my moods,
When my soul once more starts to feel the pang
Of loneliness, I cannot help myself but ask again:
How can it be,
The wonder that is she?
[Chorus 1]
[Verse 4]
How can any one heart display such beauty
On full array for all the world to see?
Oh, this beauty’s out of reach, and so my solitude
Revitalizes the blackest of my moods.
How can it be,
The wonder that is she?
[Chorus 2]
Oh, all I want
Is someone else’s love,
Especially from the
Belle I’m thinking of.
Oh, these lonely days
I’m feeling only pain,
Worsened by the thought
I’ll never see her again!

[Verse]
Here alone I lie, empty bed,
Dreams of the angel pain my head.
The subject of my desire won’t return
The passions that ever inside me burn.
That life I envisioned in my head
Haunts me in the day, plaguing dread.
Not even in my sleep can I heal!
She invades my dreams, so I awake and feel
[Chorus 1]
In another lifetime
We could have been something,
Made a nice life for ourselves.
In another lifetime
We could have been much more,
And you might have loved me in return.
[Solo]
[Chorus 2]
In another lifetime
We could have been something,
Made a nice life for ourselves.
In another lifetime
We would have lived a dream,
And you would have loved me in return.
[Bridge]
Another place,
Another time,
Another love,
Another life.
Who would we be
Had we fallen
For each other
At the same moment?
[Solo]
[Bridge]

Could

I could love you
Or someone like you,
Spend my life with you
And give you everything.
Could you love me?
Could I be your world,
Like you are mine?
Could you give me everything?
Just say the word,
Oh, I'll give you my world!
Could we ever
Despite the obstacles?
No, we never will,
But how I wish we could!
I could love you,
Spend my life with you,
Give you everything,
But would you want it?
My heart is yours;
Won't you let yours be mine?
Now put to death
This longing, this dream.
Only madness, only pain!
Nothing was as it seemed.
Now to awake
From lethal fantasy.
It could have been you
But, oh, never me!
Never us!
