I am one and twenty
………………………………….She is one and twenty
Over the hill, past my shelf life
………………………………….At her prime, ripe and luscious
A spinster due to my finicky ways
…………………………………A feisty swan among docile ducks
Maybe just a future inductee to the spinster circuit
………………………………..I have to earn her love, I need it!
To be pitied and propositioned
……………………………….I will offer her all my wealth, my life
Maybe become a kept woman
……………………………….My position, my rank, my heart
Maybe traded for rank and dowry
………………………………I will give up my crown if she will have me
Maybe forever chaste like the virgin queen, I shudder
………………………………She can have the world if she wants, will she have me?
Oh well, lets enjoy my twilight years, who knows
…………………………..She holds court in her glory days, so beautiful , ethereal
Maybe my phantom will sweep me off my feet one day
……………………………I will fight to call her mine someday
My childhood friend, standing companion
…………………………..The love of my life, my heart
Sometimes I wonder if I stand between him and love
…………………………Does she love me, would I make her happy
I dread the day a lass catches his fancy
………………………..I shudder to think someone else could make her happy
For then who would laugh with me? Hold me or dance with me?
………………..Another man touching, holding or even sit by her feet
Call me selfish but I need him free to be with me
…………I would have to leave, retire to the country for with this I cannot live
I will be brave though, if I lose him I will be brave
………………If she finds someone I will wish her well, and wish him death
What if he were he? What a twist that would be!
…………………Maybe go over her head and ask for her hand from her sire
Off we go again, a smile firmly on my face
……….. The world intrudes again, maybe tonight I can steal another dance
What is this? He won’t dance with me? I am upset
…………………………………..I cannot do it! Destiny has broken me
Phantom standing between him and me
…………..That eager expectation as she looks for him in the crowd and not me
Since the masked ball he won’t touch me
………………………………………I went to her and she walked away from me
Will barely look at me at all
………………………………………….not looking back, walked away from me
Trembling at the sight of me
…………………………….It’s so hard, my body shakes from wanting thee
Is his broken heart taking him away from me?
…………………My heavy heart needs to get away from this
Or maybe find with whom I am meant to be?
