After The Fall

[theresa]

Time

Only time

Could never take me away from you

And why

Should it try

Time never cares just what we do

It just sits on a star

And gazes down

Dropping its moments all around

And if i could wish upon that star

I would find what you dream

And then ask god to grant it

I wanted

To say this

Long before this dark would fall

At night i

Would pray this

Then wonder if god heard at all

For the chances i've had are now long gone

And that star is no longer wished upon

For on this night it seems too far away

Try

I have tried

To pretend that i don't care

But then

Sleep arrives

And in every dream i find you there

But i don't want the past to be my life

And i don't want to live inside the night

But i don't want to see your shadow fade

So i sleep and i dream

Though i don't understand it

I wanted

To say this

Long before this dark would fall

At night i

Would pray this

Then wonder if god heard at all

For the chances i've had are now long gone

And that star is no longer wished upon

For on this night it seems too far away

You can live your life in a thousand ways

But it all comes down to that single day

When you realize what you regret

What you can't reclaim but you can't forget

If i could just fall back into my life

And find you there inside this night

And let eternity just drift away

[beethoven realizes that theresa never would have cared about his deafness and is crushed as he realizes what might have been. to ease the pain of his regret, fate then shows him glimpses of the future and the countless musicians who will be inspired by, and build upon the legacy of his music. she then allows him a final vision; a vision in which he improvises with musicians from the past by whom he was inspired , as well as musicians from the future, who will be inspired by him.]
