Raffles Hall Concert 2007 RegretMissedFinal Lyrics

Celendine:
The world in all its loneliness, no one really cares
You stepped into my life, and said "none have I seen so fair"
Oh, how I wished to see you, behold your face my love
This world with all its beauty, all with sight would stare
Adrastos:
Your beauty, my fair princess, the roses can't compare
For that day when our hands met, my heart did melt I swear
But still I can't believe it, to me you gave your heart
Now with your words so merciless, my heart in two you tear
Chorus (Together):
Oh, all eyes long to see beauty
We never knew what we wished for
For all men's greatest achievements
This is their deepest fall
To put a price on beauty
To weigh it with a scale
E F F F E D E C
B C C C A C C B
To let the value of beauty
C C C C C D E E
G G G A A B C B
And not the worth of men prevail
Celendine: Why did I have to see
Adrastos: Why somehow I did not see
Together: Why the counsel I did not heed
Celendine: The doctor had warned me, he did
Adrastos: My tutor had foretold indeed
Celendine: But in all folly
Adrastos: Short sighted folly
Together:
Ab Ab Ab
I chose my own way, too hastily
Db Db Eb F Db F Ab Gb
Now who but myself to be blamed
