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
