David
Did I hear a song today?
Caught my heart along its way
Out of nowhere you appeared
A shooting star. My sky just cleared.
Here I watch you from the ground
I heard thunder all around
It was true, and I just knew
Lightning struck, and there was you.
Bathsheba
Thought I saw some stars tonight
Shimmering in silken skies
Like a comet love descended
Life as I knew it--has it ended?
Held my breath; you held my hand.
And I’ll never understand
How the moon dropped from the skies
How I drowned there in your eyes
Repeat with counterpoint
Instrumental
Coda 1
Only once upon a time
It will come without a sign
Love will streak across the sky
Love will strike us; will we die?
David
So tonight I’ll count the stars
All those near and light years far
I shall mark them in the skies,
watch them sparkle in her eyes.
Has my life changed overnight?
I’m in love at every sight.
It’s official: I’m in deep
She’s turned this shepherd into sheep
Bathsheba
I can’t believe that he is near
I can’t conceive why he is here
He’s the Lord’s anointed king
And before him I am nothing.
Is this true? Is this a dream?
Is it really what it seems?
Won’t it matter where I’ve been?
Will I someday be his queen?
Coda 2
When we walked into this scene
We had no clue what it would mean
Out of nowhere love emerged near
Why do I feel this surge of fear?
My heart may go searching every sky
But their stars have fallen in your eyes
