As the curtain rises there's a hush
The lights go dim, the stage is bare
And as the orchestra begins to play
A light appears and she is there

And as she dances like a dream
A spell is cast a magic scene
For her beauty captures every heart
But I am lost forever more

I can't share her with other hearts
Love is what I feel

Those hearts may come and go
But I'll be there for every show
But she'll never know

I know it's impossible
I cannot share my secret love

All too soon she takes the final bow
The curtain falls and she is gone
And as I wander through the lonely night
I see her dance the dying swan

I will always love from afar
But she'll never know
