[THERESA] 



COULD THIS NIGHT IT LAST FOREVER 

EVERY MOMENT HELD TOGETHER 

AS IF IN A PERFECT TRANCE 

AND SUCH A THING COULD BE 



NO ONE ELSE WOULD UNDERSTAND IT 

WE WOULD KNOW THE GODS HAD PLANNED IT 

AND FOR SUCH A NIGHT AS THIS 

THAT THEY GAVE MEMORY 



AND WE WOULD LIVE INSIDE THIS NIGHT 

WITHIN THE DREAMS OF CANDLELIGHT 

IF YOU WOULD BRING THIS WISH TO LIFE 

AND SPEND THIS NIGHT WITH ME 



COULD THIS MOMENT LAST FOREVER 

AND THIS DREAM OUR ONE ENDEAVOR 

IF THE STARS WOULD JUST ENCHANT 

AND TIME WOULD THEN AGREE 



EVERY MOMENT OF TOMORROW 

FROM THIS EVENING WE WOULD BORROW 

IF THIS WISH THE STARS WOULD GRANT 

AND GENTLY OVERSEE 



AND WE WOULD LIVE INSIDE THIS NIGHT 

WITHIN THE DREAMS OF CANDLELIGHT 

IF YOU WOULD BRING THIS WISH TO LIFE 

AND SPEND THIS NIGHT WITH ME 



[Beethoven tells Fate that this was the happiest moment of his life. When she asks why did it have to end he replies, "Because it had to."] 



[Fate again inquires, "Why?"] 



["No woman wants to spend her life with a deaf musician, let alone a lady of such high station and beauty."] 



[Fate takes them to Beethoven's parlor in 1801. There they see the composer slumped over the piano. He is going deaf and he realizes that it is irreversible. As far as he is concerned, his life is over.]
