The Music
Box
(sung to Brahms Lullaby)
Once
upon a time
In a
land far away
There
a girl
Wronged
in love
Chose
to put her heart away
She
made a music box
With
a sweet melody
And
there in every note
She
poured all her grief
As
she wept and as she cried
The
magic music box played
The
charm was made
The
spell was cast
As her pain began to fade
So she
took her bleeding heart
And
she laid it within
Then
closing down the lid
She
let the magic begin
Her
heart is gone
Her
love long lost
She’s
now colder than ice
Her
wounds still bleed
Within
the tune
As
she turns the key round thrice
But
soft, the heart still beats
Longing
to heal
And
yes, the heart still bleeds
For
to hurt is to feel
"Let
me out
Set
me free
Please
don’t give me up so lightly
It’s
not the way; I cry within
Won’t
you let me love once more?
I
beat only for you
These
wounds will not heal
If
you keep me locked away
Because one love was cruel..."
The
years have passed
The
maid is gone
The
magic music box plays
Its
melody
Each
time will be
A
lament to lonely days
So
heed its gentle tune
If
you hear it one day
A
heart still beating true
Hopes to find love someday.
