| As the curtain rises there’s a hush
|
| The lights go dim, the stage is bare
|
| And as the orchestra begins to play
|
| A light appears and she is there
|
| And as she dances like a dream
|
| A spell is cast a magic scene
|
| For her beauty captures every heart
|
| But I am lost forever more
|
| I can’t share her with other hearts
|
| Love is what I feel
|
| Those hearts may come and go
|
| But I’ll be there for every show
|
| But she’ll never know
|
| I know it’s impossible
|
| I cannot share my secret love
|
| All too soon she takes the final bow
|
| The curtain falls and she is gone
|
| And as I wander through the lonely night
|
| I see her dance the dying swan
|
| I will always love from afar
|
| But she’ll never know |
