Why Dream Of Love
Theme Song of the musical "Forbidden City: Portrait of an Empress"
Lyrics: Stephen Clark
Music: Dick Lee
Is this what eyes where never meant to see
The end of hope and all it meant to me
How can I find the strength to carry on another day
Without my pride there's nothing left to say
Is the way my life was meant to be?
Too late to say I was wrong
Perhaps the weak believe that they are strong
I thought that if I tried I'd find a way to earn their trust
Yet all I've known and loved has turned to dust
It seems there was no way I could belong
The fire that burns within your heart
The pain that tears your life apart
The rain that falls from broken skies
The love I lost beneath the lies
And must I face the truth along?
Is this the end of all I've known?
The years I gaves, the tears I cried
Why dream of love, when love has died?
I know one day the story will be told
And in the end the secrets will be sold
And will they look at me and say I should have known the end
Perhaps I did but why should I pretend?
I only dreamt of love and growing old
The fire that burns within your heart
The pain that tears your life apart
The rain that falls from broken skies
The love I lost beneath the lies
And must I face the truth along?
Is this the end of all I've known?
The years I gaves, the tears I cried
Why dream of love, when love has died?
