Overcome

Lyrics

[CYRANO] The way I feel is like falling stars Diving into cold ocean waves Words can only get me so far They cannot describe the way that it hurts 'Cause every time I see you I am overcome I try to tell you Tell you how much I need you But I turn and run [ROXANNE] Your letters to me are like music [CYRANO] They're just a mask in a lonely coward's game [ROXANNE] What is it you're so afraid of losing? [CYRANO] That I might lose everything if I lose the pain [ROXANNE & CYRANO] 'Cause every time I see you I am overcome It'd make him (you) laugh to think someone like me Could keep someone like you Look what I've become [CYRANO] You wore your hair down one time last spring in the chapel Your lips painted red I remember the day [ROXANNE] We hadn't met yet, how could you possibly remember that? You watched me then? Why didn't you say something? 'Cause every time I see you I am overcome I try to tell you Tell you how much I need you too Look what I've become Nothing feels real anymore when you're not around me Even the sky looks like it's behind glass Hearing your voice now, I can see everything clearly I can see that you really are my love at last [CYRANO] But oh, Roxanne... [ROXANNE] I'm right here, love [CYRANO] Words fail me [ROXANNE] Please come to me [CYRANO] I try, but I can't [ROXANNE] This is real love [CYRANO] Dare to believe you'd have me [ROXANNE] I have no doubt I know that you're the one now [CYRANO] You don't know anything [ROXANNE] I know that it's you [CYRANO] Roxanne, if this was true [ROXANNE] Just tell me what you need now [CYRANO] Then I'd need for nothing [ROXANNE] Just tell me what to do
