Overcome

[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
