LIKE AN IMAGE PASSING BY
Elaine Paige From UK cast
ABBACaDaBra

I know it is too late
from this moment, time and tide would not wait
yet I was master of my fate
being the ruling Queen
I never waited a change of scene

Like an image passing by
I see my life
in the twinkling of an eye (the night?)
my lonely life
And at this, my darkest hour
fading like a flower
beauty is boung to die
From the present to the past
I see my life
catching up with me at last
my empty life
Now the hourglass is turning
and in my eyes are burning
tears I should have cried long ago
Now I cry forever

Now it's my turn to sleep
Oh, how true that beauty's only skin deep
I was wrong thinking I could keep
everything in my hand
knowing my castle was built on sand

Like an image passing by
I see my life
in the twinkling of an eye (the night?)
my lonely life
And at this, my darkest hour
fading like a flower
beauty is boung to die
From the present to the past
I see my life
catching up with me at last
my empty life
Now the hourglass is turning
and in my eyes are burning
tears I should have cried long ago
Now I cry forever

Now I cry forever
