JOANNA
THE TIME FOR PLAY HAS ENDED NOW, THE LONG DAY’S
LIGHT GROWS DIM,
AS THE MOON BEGINS TO RISE, ALL MY BEING YEARNS FOR HIM.
WITH A TORCHLIGHT, INTO SHADOWED HALLS - WHERE SO LONG I’VE RUN TO HIDE
-
WILL HE COME AND FIND ME WAITING HERE, BEFORE ANOTHER DAY GOES BY?
I DIDN’T WISH TO
MEET THE MAN, DIDN’T HOPE TO FEEL HIS CHARM,
COLD BEHIND THESE CASTLE WALLS, I KEPT MYSELF FROM ANY HARM.
AS THE SPRING SUN, MELTS THE WINTER’S SNOW, SO I WONDER – IS IT TIME?
SHOULD I TELL HIM THAT I LOVE HIM NOW, BEFORE ANOTHER DAY GOES BY?
YOU KNOW, I
DIDN’T WANT TO KNOW HIM, I DIDN’T WANT TO WANT HIM,
BUT MY HEART IS CRYING OUT.
AND THOUGH I DIDN’T WANT TO WANT HIM,
NOW HE’S ALL I DREAM ABOUT.
I’VE GROWN UP IN
SO MANY WAYS, FREE TO STAY OR FREE TO GO.
THOUGH THE DARKNESS FILLS THIS ROOM, DEEP WITHIN A FIRE GLOWS.
BURNING BRIGHTLY, CAN OTHERS SEE THE LIGHT? FEEL THE HEAT I FEEL INSIDE?
I SHOULD TELL HIM THAT I LOVE HIM NOW, BEFORE ANOTHER DAY GOES BY.
BUT NO, I DIDN’T
WANT TO KNOW HIM, I DIDN’T WANT TO WANT HIM,
YET HE LIVES WITHIN MY SOUL.
AND THOUGH I DIDN’T WANT TO WANT HIM,
ONLY WITH HIM AM I WHOLE.
AND NOW I FIND I
NEED THE MAN, LIKE THE GARDEN NEEDS THE RAIN.
SO THE ROSE BEGINS TO BLOOM, AND MY HEART DOES THE SAME.
AS THE SUNLIGHT PUSHES CLOUDS AWAY, HERE TONIGHT I KNOW MY MIND,
I WILL TELL HIM THAT I LOVE HIM NOW,
YES, I’LL TELL HIM THAT I LOVE HIM NOW,
I MUST TELL HIM THAT I LOVE HIM NOW,
... BEFORE ANOTHER DAY GOES BY.
