    Love's What We Became (Song)
    by Italian Stallion

    Lizzy, Lizzy

    Where have you gone, I really miss you.
    Wish you were here with me.
    Soft gentle smiles never left me,
    Words can't describe this feeling.

    Dreams I once dreamt of an angel,
    Beautiful as one' can name.
    Her soft tender voice whispered,
    "Love's what we became."

    Here in the dark I sit and ponder,
    Why do I still adore you?
    Somehow I can't find an answer,
    Yet it's you I still love true.

    Elisabetta, you I dreamt,
    An angel sent down to me.
    Elisabetta, you I loved,
    Always; forever.

    Angel of love and beauty, hold me close;
    Grant to me my true wish.

    Would you set me free?

    This angel of love is dear to my heart,
    I'm sure she would agree.

    I wish this dream was real.

    My nose is cold,

    My heart pumps fast,

    For Elisabetta.

    Waking up, tears flow free,

    With dreams at end.

    *Inspired by the song, "Angel Of Music" from The Phantom of the Opera.*

    Shadowknight, Yes it does, but I believe that it is actually another song on the CD if I am not mistaken, they grouped 2 songs together in a few spots I do believe. I'll add that up, thank you for pointing that out.

    KK here goes...

    Say It Back *Inspired by "All I Ask Of You"

    Could you take me from this place of dark?
    Lighten up my hollow heart?
    Make the sadness fade away?
    Make this lonely, gray pain stray?

    Could you heal my wounds of loss?
    Give my snow-laced hair a toss?
    Take me to a land of bliss?
    Bend me back for one more kiss?

    To start anew, erase my past,
    That's all I want and all I'll ask,
    To walk beside my love at last...
    That's all I need and all I'll ask.

    Could you hold me through a storm?
    Wrap me in your arms so warm?
    Keep me safe in nightmare's wake?
    Promise memories to make?

    Could you love the woman I am now?
    Raise my veil and say your vow?
    Spare me from the Phantom's pain?
    Release me from his music game?

    To start anew, erase my past,
    That's all I want and all I'll ask,
    To walk beside my love at last...
    That's all I need and all I'll ask.

    Say you'll do it say you'll try,
    Do not let your words defy.
    I'll say i love you, say it back,
    that's all i want and all i'll ask.
