Everyday A Little Death
[Edmond]
Another day, another week
Another month, another year
Another day, another night
Until it’s day again
The sun has fled, I go to bed
And scratch a line on the wall
Another day, where nothing changes at all
And everyday shuffles by like the day before
On its way to the blackest of skies
And everyday a little death comes and paces the floor
And a little bit more of me dies
Another day, another week
Another month, another year
Another night I spend alone
Until it’s day again
Our little star has moved away
And all the world is a blur
I only see I am not me
Without her
Everyday a little death for everyday I die
Everyday a little death and still I know not why
[Mercédès]
He will come back
[Mondego]
Perhaps but still…
[Mercédès]
He will return to me
Another prayer
[Mondego]
You’ve got to live for today
[Mercédès]
I will live when we’re together again
Everyday I will pray until then, Amen
And everyday another prayer will bring him close to me
And every night out little star we will share
The one day when I open my eyes
He will be standing right over there, One day
[Edmond]
Another day
[Mondego]
There’s something I must say
I wanted to protect you
[Edmond]
Another year
[Mondego]
I wish there was a way
I could make it untrue
[Edmond]
Another day
[Mondego]
I heard the news today
I fear the worst has happened
[Edmond]
Another year
[Mondego]
An accident occurred
Edmond Dantès is dead
[Edmond]
Another year
[Mondego]
Dead and gone
Rest in peace may flights of angels sing him to his rest
Let me hold and help to heal you
Everyday a little death
[Mercédès]
Everyday a little death
[Edmond]
Everyday a little death
[Mondego]
Everyday a little death
[Mercédès]
Everyday a little death
[Edmond]
Everyday a little death
[All three]
Everyday a little death
