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 other 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...
