[FRANCESCO, spoken]
The Moon Woman, a play

[ISABELLA]
As the curtain slowly opens to reveal a starry sky
We see figures in the garden

[FRANCESCO]
Two silhouettes

[FRANCESCO & ISABELLA]
You and I

[FRANCESCO]
Isabella wants the moon
And nothing will appease her
As she hums a haunting little tune
Arlecchino sees her
He desires her
She inspires him
So he steals the moon from on high

What a start
Simple, romantic, and new
And I was born for the part
Born to play opposite you
[ISABELLA]
You could teach me all you know
I would go where you would lead me
We were born to make it so
We were born to fly

[FRANCESCO]
We were born to fly

[ISABELLA]
I would give up all I know

[FRANCESCO]
I would give up all I know

[ISABELLA]
Just to be with you forever

[FRANCESCO]
Just to be forever

[FRANCESCO & ISABELLA]
Heart and soul and flesh and bone
Yours until I die

In the music of another age
I was born to hear you
Born to stand beside you on a stage
Ever to be near you
We'll be silhouettes
Turning pirouettes
On the painted stands of the sky
Kindred hearts
Making the world something new
Cast in the simplest of parts
Born to play opposite you

[ISABELLA]
Opposite you

[FRANCESCO]
Opposite you
