Ophelia s Crying lyrics

I walked into the room then I heard you had arrived
From then on it was going to be a glorious night.
I hoped you d think I was beautiful
I wanted you as mine with love bountiful
I couldn t get you on the floor, but when Cinderella walked through the
door,
You held her close to you, slow-dancing, what was I to do?
Chorus:
Ophelia s crying tonight, Cinderella came to the ball,
and the prince is holding her tight, Ophelia s crying tonight.
Ophelia s crying tonight, she s not dancing at all
the prince is in sheer delight, but Ophelia s crying tonight.
What do you expect of me? You act mercilessly
                You know how I feel, but it doesn t seem real.
I ve tried, I ve done all I can to show you
I ve told you, they ve told you that I love you.
My heart broke as I saw her there, laughing and playing with your hair
It was as if you didn t care, you broke my heart, it isn t fair!
(CHORUS)
Ophelia s crying tonight, her silver tears do fall,
the prince wasn t holding her tight, Ophelia s crying tonight.
Ophelia s crying tonight, she s not slow-dancing at all,
the prince just can see the light, so Ophelia s crying tonight.
My tears fall away, I pray I won t wake up to see the light of day.
and I blame myself for what happened that night, although I know it s
not right.
And I just have to let you go, this friendship wounds me so
maybe someday you ll see, what it s like to be me...
(CHORUS)
Ophelia s crying tonight, baby, baby
Ophelia s dying tonight, baby, baby
Ophelia s lying tonight, baby, baby
Ophelia s trying to make it seem alright baby, baby, now
Ophelia, Ophelia s crying.*
(*repeat and fade)
