This Life Is For Me
Hello...
(Hello...)
Where am I?
(Where am I?)
I must be dreaming...
(You're not dreaming...)
I'm not?
Hello...
(Hello...)
Who are you?
(Are you...?)
Should I come in?
(Come in...)
I see...
Hello; this palace is dark
The Count must be somewhere but where could he be?
It's old and cold & quiet -
Who's that?
Could it be someone is following me?
I say, a room full of books
That no one has read in who knows how many years
A dusty chair in the corner...
What's that?
Just my foolish ears...
It seems you never know
What the day may bring
First, your ship does not come in
And then, suddenly...
Just look at this feast
Could it be for me?
Well, why not?
Where am I?
I must be dreaming...
Life here must be worry-free
I say, could it be?
This life is for me
It seems you never know
What a day may bring
With the dawn, your ship comes in
And suddenly, you're king
I say, my sons would be proud
If this were their home, they'd have nothing to fear
My daughters all would look lovely
At last, all their worries would disappear
Why not?
I'll volunteer!
This life is for me!
This life is for me!
For me!
