Once Upon Another Time

Once upon another time
Our story had only begun
You chose to turn the page
And I made choices too

Once upon that other time
We did what we thought must be done
And now we have no choice
We do what we must do
We love, we live
We give what we can give
And take what little we deserve

Once upon another time
I knew how our story would end
And maybe I was wrong
But now the moment's gone
Were it still that other time
I'd make time itself somehow bend
But now I'm not that strong
And time keeps moving on
We love, we live
We give what we can give
And take what little we deserve

We love, we live
We give what we can give
And take what little we deserve
Once upon another time

Ten Long Years of Yearning
Years of dreaming of this moment
When that miracle,
that peerless instrument
Plays for me,
just fleetingly
Lays the ghost which tortures me,
tortures me
Ah, Christine

I know what Hammerstein is paying you,
I will double the amount for just one night's work.
here! in my concert hall
No!
Just one night Christine!
One song, that is all I ask.
Why should I?
For ten years you've let me believe you were dead!
And now you lure us here and expect me to do you're bidding,
Submit to you again...
I won't do it! I owe you nothing!
