Song Lyrics for Music Project - The Sound of Music

We're to write an entire song for our music lessons, so Tamara and I wrote the lyrics in a little more than an hour today :) We're dumping the tune on the other three members of the group, ohoho. Though I'll probably go help too... I have a chronic inability to trust people lol. (Edit!! Ended up writing most of the melody too. How wonderful.)

Anyway: the lyrics.

Scene: Maria dances with Captain (something). Baroness Elsa Schraeder witnesses this and is jealous (insecure) etc.

Her Sweet Embrace

Jealousy is a powerful emotion

I never thought I’d succumb to it

Yet now, in front of you

I feel like my world’s falling apart

I can clearly see now

You love her so much that you don’t even know

But I understand how the heart works

And I understand you

I sense your hidden affection

Stronger for her than me

I think I shall have to-

Give you up

My darling

And when you hold me tight,

And tell me you love me

The scene overwhelms me,

The scene of you and her

It haunts me.

I fancy that I will soon have to let you go

Imagine my shock when I see you both smiling

Gazing into each other's eyes

But I mask my feelings,

Showing no sign of my emotions

To pretend is to be

I don’t tell you how much it hurts me

As I reach out to caress your face.

I love you, though you may love me not

I think I shall have to-

Give you up

My darling

And when you hold me tight,

And tell me you love me

The scene overwhelms me,

The scene of you and her

It haunts me.

I fancy that I will soon have to let you go

Back to her sweet embrace

Oh, and I'm searching around for awesome Choucho stuff again.
