Maybe my new favorite song in the universe...!

Alright alright alright, so the candidate for this title changes on a weekly basis... What can I say? There's a lot of good songs out there! *Smileyshrug* Anyway, this song is from the Broadway version of "Beauty and the Beast," it is sung by The Beast (Speaking of whom, did anyone else ever feel bad that he didn't really have a name? Or does he have one and I don't know it. I mean, that's a case for low self-esteem right there; being called "beast" all the time...), and well... it's really sweet; it's called "If I Can't Love Her." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH1twHSdU6M

Chiiiiiiiiiiiillbumps... but then, I'm a Broadway dork, so maybe I appreciate these things in a different was than many.

As an after note, does anyone here, who has read "Waking Rose" (Regina Doman), feel that this could be sung from Fish's point of view, or at least that he could relate to it? I don't know. That's all for now :-)

Oh yeah; here's the lyrics :)

Beast:

And in my twisted face,

There's not the slightest trace

Of anything that even hints of kindness.

And from my tortured shape,

No comfort, no escape

I see, but deep within is utter blindness.

Hopeless.

As my dream dies,

As the time flies,

Love a lost illusion.

Helpless.

Unforgiven.

Cold and driven,

To this sad conclusion

No beauty could move me

No goodness improve me

No power on earth, if I can't love her.

No passion could reach me,

No lesson could teach me,

How I could have love her and made her love me too

If I can't love her, then who?

Long ago I should have seen,

All the things I could have been,

Careless and unthinking, I moved onward

No pain could be deeper,

No life could be cheaper,

No point anymore, if I can't love her.

No spirit could win me,

No hope left within me,

Hope I could have loved her and that she'd set me free

But it's not to be,

If I can't love her...Let the world be done with me.
