SHE'LL NEVER KNOW
T Hiller / N Graham
(based on Beethoven's "Fur Elise")

as recorded by Andy Williams 
with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
1984


As the curtain rises there's a hush,
The lights go dim, the stage is bare;
And as the orchestra begins to play,
The light appears and she is there!

And as she dances like a dream,
A spell is cast, a magic scene,
For her beauty captures every heart;
Well, I am lost for evermore!

I can't share her with other hearts,
Love is what I feel!
Those other hearts may come and go,
But I'll be there for every show,
But she'll never know!

I know it's impossible,
I cannot share my secret love!

All too soon she takes the final bow,
The curtain falls and she is gone,
And as I wander through the lonely night,
I see her dance "The Dying Swan".

I will always love from afar,
But she'll never know!
