Piano intro.
Scene 1.
A man and a woman are arguing. The woman slaps the mans face and begins to cry. The man walks off looking sad.
A woman fell in love [female voice with chorus]
with a man who said his love was true
and he would cherish her forever
But she was only being kept
for he cared not where he slept
He broke her heart
and now she sings this song
Where, where went all the love [the woman repeated twice]
the love that broke my heart
and left me crying
When, when will I find love
love to fill my heart
and I'm smiling
Yes, I know that I should be strong
Please, please love come again
I feel so all alone
How could I not see what I have done [the man with woman on repeat]
is what I never wanted
Will our love be washed away
with the tears that flow from your heart
Without you there will be no joy
No one to touch and whisper to in the night
Please, please love come again
I feel so all alone
Scene 2.
The man attempts to caress the woman but is rejected. The man falls to his knees and begins to weep. The woman then lifts him up into her bosom and they caress each other smiling.
And here they are [female voice and chorus]
so close, yet so far apart
She makes the choice to forgive
She takes him back into her heart [male voice chimes in]
Now, now I'm in your arms [man and woman with chorus]
your warmth caresses my soul
and makes me happy
Joy, joy in what we have
until our journey ends
And forever
We will live our lives
with each other in our hearts
Love, love has come again
we'll never be alone
Love, love has come again
It sings a lovely song
