Felix, tonight, finds himself by the Observation Window. He watches for a moment, then clasps his hands over his heart and sings.
"Good night, my Sheba;
Good night, my love.
Sleep tight, my Sheba;
Sleep tight, my love.
Our star is shining its final light
For goodnight, my Sheba, goodnight.
Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be;
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me.
I wish they may and I wish they might.
Now goodnight, my Sheba, goodnight.
True love can be whispered from heart to heart
When lovers are parted, they say;
But I must depend on a wish and a star
As long as my heart doesn't know where you are.
Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be;
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me.
I wish they may and I wish they might.
Now goodnight, my Sheba, goodnight."
There is, perhaps, little if any dancing.
On finishing, his eyes widen. Felix collapses onto a nearby piece of furniture and hopes nobody heard him - a futile hope, perhaps, given the time of day and the place.
[Song adapted very slightly from 'Goodnight my Someone' by Meredith Willson, since what I originally wanted to adapt wouldn't cooperate.]
once more with feeling,
felix of vale,
morte
