Scene Five: Through Her Eyes

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1: Nicholas] She never really had a chance On that fateful moonlit night Sacrificed without a fight A victim of her circumstance Now that I've become aware And I've exposed this tragedy A sadness grows inside of me It all seems so unfair! [Chorus: Nicholas] I'm learning all about my life By looking through her eyes [Verse 2: Nicholas] Just beyond the churchyard gates Where the grass is overgrown I saw the writing on her stone I felt like I would suffocate "In loving memory of our child So innocent, eyes open wide" I felt so empty as I cried Like part of me had died [Chorus: Nicholas] I'm learning all about my life By looking through her eyes [Bridge: Nicholas] And as her image wandered through my head I wept just like a baby as I lay awake in bed And I know what it's like to lose someone you love And this felt just the same [Verse 3: Nicholas] She wasn't given any choice Desperation stole her voice I've been given so much more in life I've got a son, I've got a wife! I had to suffer one last time To grieve for her and say goodbye Relieve the anguish of my past To find out who I was at last [Outro: Nicholas] The door has opened wide I'm turning with the tide Looking through her eyes! [Instrumental Outro]
