below are select lyrics from Frank Wildhorn & Nan Knighton’s THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL, a musical adaption of the book of the same name. feel free to change pronouns as needed.
I give you the judgement of God!
The world may be ugly but each man must do what he must!
In a year you will be pretty dust!
I trust you will be there to find me.
In the darkness, please defend me.
Open your eyes to this one bright moment embracing us.
You have one life, let it be gay.
Shouldn’t one do as one’s told to?
Darlings, life is such romance.
No one need give you permission!
Life is too short to be guarded!
No, stay … I don’t care what you’ve said or done.
Come back and be the woman who I knew.
Help me to believe in you!
How could you let me love like this?
I’m broken, but I’m still alive!
Let us ride home again with a story to tell!
You can tremble, you can fear it, but keep your fighting spirit alive.
I wasn’t born to walk on water.
a man grows older but his soul remains alive.
Let my heart grow colder and as bitter as a falcon in the dive.
There was a dream - I don’t remember…
Here in hell, the blood runs deeper.
When I look at you what I always see is the face of someone else who once belonged to me.
Even though that melody plays on, he’s gone.
Why do you smile his smile?
If you could look at me once more, with all the love you felt before –
When I look at you, he is touching me.
I would reach for him, but who can hold a memory?
You changed and now I don’t know who you are.
Could it be that I never really knew you from the start?
Even a memory is paradise for all the fools like me…
Indeed, and I’m the queen of Spain!
I’m sure I’d fall in love if he would cross my path!
And I hear he carries several … Whips …
Where’s the girl with the blaze in her eyes?
Now and then I still dream she’s beside me.
Where’s the girl who could turn on the edge of a knife?
She and I took this world like a storm!
Bring your renegade heart home to me.
Don’t forget I know who you are.
We had dreams that were worth dying for.
A man’s duty is to wield the sword!
A man’s duty is to uphold the banner of beauty!
Each species needs a sex that’s fated to be highly decorated.
Life is cold, and the game is old.
Betray him first, and the game’s reversed!
Can I trust you? Should you trust me, too?
Through the mist, your lover is beckoning.
Year by year, we’re falling like stars.
Can I run to you? Are you true to me?
I’ll do unto you as you do to me!
Every Judas once loved a Jesus.
Only fools follow golden rules.
We all are caught in the middle of one long treacherous riddle.
Is he in heaven or is he in hell?
The ladies seek him everywhere!
I hear the words you want to say.
Come meet my eyes one moment more.
Don’t turn away – it’s only love.
We can’t go back to where we were.
Don’t be afraid to feel tonight.
Open your heart and show me.
In a spill of moonlight she was there.
When she whispered through the dark, I tried hard to hold my ground.
I believed I had a choice ‘til the music in your voice turned my whole world around.
She slipped beneath my skin, just as if she’d always been right there!
Listen to me, I have beautiful dreams I can spin you.
I’ll sing you stories of lovers whose love used to fill me.
In my dreams such beautiful lovers have found me.
Is it only in dreams that we find our ideal love?
If you can’t be sweet as you seem I’d rather dream!
Come and wake me! Come be the love I can hold now!
Show me the way to stop dreaming!
We are all of us bruised and alone.
Now we both will have nothing to hold!
There is a child inside my heart tonight.
You are the one who reaches through the dark.
You are my peace. You are my prayer.
In this world of strangers, I belong to someone.
Others may leave, but you will still be there.
When I am lost, you are my light.
You are the love that never dies.
I will not walk away from you!
