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!
