After The Fall Lyrics

After The Fall lyrics

[THERESA]







TIME



ONLY TIME



COULD NEVER TAKE ME AWAY FROM YOU







AND WHY



SHOULD IT TRY



TIME NEVER CARES JUST WHAT WE DO







IT JUST SITS ON A STAR



AND GAZES DOWN



DROPPING ITS MOMENTS ALL AROUND



AND IF I COULD WISH UPON THAT STAR



I WOULD FIND WHAT YOU DREAM



AND THEN ASK GOD TO GRANT IT







I WANTED



TO SAY THIS



LONG BEFORE THIS DARK WOULD FALL



AT NIGHT I



WOULD PRAY THIS



THEN WONDER IF GOD HEARD AT ALL



FOR THE CHANCES I'VE HAD ARE NOW LONG GONE



AND THAT STAR IS NO LONGER WISHED UPON



FOR ON THIS NIGHT IT SEEMS TOO FAR AWAY







TRY



I HAVE TRIED



TO PRETEND THAT I DON'T CARE



BUT THEN



SLEEP ARRIVES



AND IN EVERY DREAM I FIND YOU THERE







BUT I DON'T WANT THE PAST TO BE MY LIFE



AND I DON'T WANT TO LIVE INSIDE THE NIGHT



BUT I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR SHADOW FADE



SO I SLEEP AND I DREAM



THOUGH I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT







I WANTED



TO SAY THIS



LONG BEFORE THIS DARK WOULD FALL



AT NIGHT I



WOULD PRAY THIS



THEN WONDER IF GOD HEARD AT ALL



FOR THE CHANCES I'VE HAD ARE NOW LONG GONE



AND THAT STAR IS NO LONGER WISHED UPON



FOR ON THIS NIGHT IT SEEMS TOO FAR AWAY







YOU CAN LIVE YOUR LIFE IN A THOUSAND WAYS



BUT IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THAT SINGLE DAY



WHEN YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU REGRET



WHAT YOU CAN'T RECLAIM BUT YOU CAN'T FORGET



IF I COULD JUST FALL BACK INTO MY LIFE



AND FIND YOU THERE INSIDE THIS NIGHT



AND LET ETERNITY JUST DRIFT AWAY







[Beethoven realizes that Theresa never would have cared about his deafness and
is crushed as he realizes what might have been. To ease the pain of his regret,
Fate then shows him glimpses of the future and the countless musicians who will
be inspired by, and build upon the legacy of his music. She then allows him a
final vision; a vision in which he improvises with musicians from the past by
whom he was inspired , as well as musicians from the future, who will be
inspired by him.]
