She

She, she had a way of smiling
She, she had a way beguiling
(Evangeline and Evangeline’s Father)
She’d say just wait, and pray
Just say to yourself
«If I get through today, tomorrow, I’ll be stronger.»
(Evangeline's Father)
She gave me four years of bliss
I remember every kiss
And when she lay upon the bed
That took her life, and gave you yours
She made me promise
To be strong for you
She made me promise
(Evangeline, simultaneously)
She made you promise
To be strong for me
She made you promise
(Evangeline and Evangeline’s Father)
That each day I’d say
Just wait, and pray
Just say to yourself,
«If I get through today, tomorrow, I’ll be stronger»
(Evangeline's Father)
She, she was all I hope you’ll be
You, you have her way of smiling
You have her heart and soul and mind,
You have her name
You have her heart and soul and mind,
You have her name
Evangeline, look into my eyes
You are my girl,
I’m so sorry, love
Remember my song
You must be strong
(Evangeline simultaneously)
Please, father, no
I love you so
Please, father, no
I love you so
Please, father, no
Father, hold on
(Evangeline, alone)
Oh, Father, forgive them
Oh, Father, forgive them
Oh, Father, forgive them…
