[Edmond]
Do you see that star above the moon?
[Mercédès]
Yes, the star that we both share
[Edmond]
It's the one that leads me home to you
[Mercédès]
Then I pray God leaves it there
For I'm useless as a broken heart without you
[Edmond]
And I'm empty as my pockets without you
[Mercédès]
Someday, Edmond, you'll be captain
And then I'll be the captain's bride
[Edmond]
Sooner that you think, Mercedes, dear
Maybe on this evening's tide
For Monsieur Morrel has hastened our tomorrow
[Mercédès]
Is it true, mon dieu?
[Edmond]
A captain you shall wed
[Both]
When love is true
Nothing stands in your way
[Edmond]
God in his Heaven smiles and then
The where and when of stars and men
Suddenly fall in place
[Mercédès]
No one could ask for more
Diamonds and rubies can not buy
What will not die is never through
[Both]
Never when love is true
[Edmond]
Like the wind that fills a sail
[Both]
True
[Edmond]
Like a light that will not fail
[Mercédès]
Hold me
Let me memorise your face
[Edmond]
When I'm lost in your embrace
[Mercédès]
For eternity
[Edmond]
When love is true
True as the star we share
[Mercédès]
Constant and always waiting there
[Edmond]
The undertow that won't let go
[Mercédès]
You are my one true fey
[Both]
My one relentless fair
Now and forever
Let it be you I'll see
And let it be no-one but me who
Runs to you each time you call
Let me be the one who shows you
All love can do
When love is true
