A love song from Song of the Lioness: The Musical.

GEORGE

I’ve always been the one who slipped away

Before the dawn’s first light

A man who whispers words of love

But only in the night

But now I find the morning’s come

And I don’t want to run

So tell me what strange spell you’ve cast

Oh tell me what you’ve done

Because this love is the truest thing I’ve known

And I’d give anything to have the world you’ve shown

We’ll face it all together, side-by-side

So there’s no need to hide

Just stay with me

And never be

Alone

ALANNA

I thought that if I gave a man my heart

He’d take my freedom too

That wedding rings were shackles that

No dagger could cut through

But I see a world behind your eyes

That’s beautiful and strange

And if I give my heart to you

I’ll have yours in exchange

BOTH

And now that you’re beside me you’ve

Brought color to the gray

And what I thought was living was

Just waiting for this day

And everything is changing

And I don’t know where I stand

But I know we can do anything

If we are hand-in-hand

Because this love is the truest thing I’ve known

And I’d give anything to have the world you’ve shown

We’ll face it all together, side-by-side

So there’s no need to hide

Just stay with me

And never be

Alone
