Belle of the Ball Lyrics


After the crash and the broken glass
And the nightmare memorial
I wanted to end it all, end it all
You came into my room and you sat on my bed
I threw the blankets over my head
I turned my face to the wall, to the wall
You said I'd see you again
When I checked out of my room at the end of the hall
I'd recognize you
Belle of the Ball
I saw you again in a halfway place
Your green satin dress,
Your beautiful face
I thought you were dead you said that's not the case
But it's a kind of a wall
And then you faded you faded away
The fairest of all, I begged you to stay
It's been so long now I can't really say

I ever knew you at all
You said I'd see you again
When I checked out of my room at the end of the hall
I'd recognize you
Belle of the Ball
The last time I saw you you were heading out to sea
You were hauling up sails
The sunset would swallow you
I wanted to follow you
You said not yet, not yet
And my feet they were sinking into the sand
I was resoundingly rooted to land
But I heard you call to me
Don't forget, don't forget
I'll see you again when I leave this hotel
It'll be so entrancing the music will swell
And we'll all be dancing
You'll be the belle of the ball
