[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Did I abuse her
Or show her disdain?
Why does she run from me?
If I should lose her,
How shall I regain,
The heart she has won from me? Agony!
Beyond power of speech,
When the one thing you want
Is the only thing out of your reach. [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
High in her tower,
She sits by the hour,
Maintaining her hair.
Blithe and becoming and frequently humming
A lighthearted air:
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah- Agony!
Far more painful than yours,
When you know she would go with you
If there only were doors. [BOTH]
Agony!
Oh, the torture they teach! [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
What's as intriguing- [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Or half so fatiguing- [BOTH]
As what's out of reach? [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Am I not sensitive,
Clever,
Well-mannered,
Considerate,
Pa**ionate,
Charming,
As kind as I'm handsome
And heir to a throne? [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
You are everything maidens could wish for! [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Then why no-? [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Do I know? [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
The girl must be mad! [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
You know nothing of madness
Till you're climbing her hair
And you see her up there
As you're nearing her,
All the while hearing her:
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah- [BOTH]
Agony! [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Misery! [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Woe! [BOTH]
Though it's different for each. [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Always ten steps behind- [RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Always ten feet below- [BOTH]
And she's just out of reach.
Agony
That can cut like a knife! I must have her to wife. For Mia, Isabelle and Gracie
