The Golden Girl

Lyrics

[Intro] [FREDDY] The girl In the whispers of the night where shadows dance and play He was a melody she was the spark that led him astray A gilded heart in a world that lost its light She chased the shimmer while he wore his dreams so bright [LIKITTY] The girl she sang of love's sweet silence a calm that breathed like air A heartbeat in the darkness a gentle tender care But every note he belted every crowd he fought to please Drew him further from the soul that found him on her knees [CHOIR] And then she sang to him ["A" verse 1] [FREDDY] I adore your silence the stillness you bring In the quiet I find hope a lullaby that sings It whispers through the chaos softly takes control Gently sweetly healing my tempestuous soul ["A" verse 2] [LIKITTY] I love your wings I crave your fire your passion ablaze Like stars in the darkness you set my heart's maze I'll never be happy ["B" section 1] [CHOIR] His rise was undeniable (yeah) - spark with each fleeting [FREDDY w/ choir] He painted his struggle a longing so stark No gilded rewards or the trappings of fame Just knowing that his essence could never be tamed ["A" verse 1] Hey, I love you (yes I love you) for your silence (for your silence) I cherish your peace A calm that sweetly lingers like whispers that won't cease, oh It slowly, slowly takes control ["B" section 2] Yes he spun the truth (he spun the truth) with grace and charm Accepting every trophy concealing every harm In his mirror of praise he saw reflections blurred (a love we dare not name) While she slipped into shadows her memories interred I love you for your passion (for your passion) your fierce illuminating fire But the golden gleam of fortune turned our dreams into a pyre, yeah ["A" verse 2] [LIKITTY (w/choir)] (I love you) I love you for your passion (for your passion) for the fire in your soul The way you light the darkness make the shattered pieces whole But with every grateful chorus I fear your heart's retreat (I fear your heart's retreat) A longing poorly spoken swept under gilded sheets [Conclusion of "A" verse 1] [FREDDIE (w/choir soloists ad lib)] The calm and stillness drifts (drifts) That touch upon my soul (my soul) [FREDDY (w/choral answers)] That slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) [ALL] Slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) slowly! [CHOIR] ...take control [Applause] [Outro] [FREDDY] And as the curtain falls she longs to find her skin The hardened heart of yesterday Where all the dreams begin [FREDDY/LIKITTY] For in the changing shadows she's lost the love they knew Now echoes fill the silence wrapped in up In the final act as dreams tore apart She gazed in the mirror hardened her heart [ALL] And the girl who lover [LIKITTY] (wordless vocalese)
