"Can I Forgive Him Lyrics"
Sweet's Introduction Lyrics
(Sweet) Why'd you run away? Don't you like my style? Why don't you come and play? I guarantee a great, big smile! I come from the imagination. And I'm here strictly by your invocation. So whadda ya say? Why don't we dance a while?

ESMERALDA
I am Esmeralda Agrn, Seora.
I know I've no right to speak.
My son is not the savage boy you see,
The cape, the sneer, the slicked-back hair
It hides the child I nursed and bathed, Seora.
Please don't turn your eyes from me
Your son, gone to God, and mine to blame
My fated son,
He too is gone
The state will see to that, I am sure, Seora
The state will see to that, I am sure.
1ST MOTHER
You Spanish people, you come to this country
Nothing here chang
Crowded Lyrics
Crowded, my life's so crowded Not enough time to do the things I want to do Faces, so many faces Not enough time to search through all of them for you See you know what I mean When I say that nothing should come between
es your lives
Ungrateful immigrants asking for pity
When all of your answers are knives
This city makes a cartoon of a crime
Capes and umbrellas the glorification of slime
I have to face this horror, Seora.
2ND MOTHER
My religion
Asks me to pray for the murderer's soul
But I think you'd have to be
Jesus on the cross
To open your heart after such a loss
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him?
No, I cannot
Can I forgive him
No, I cannot
Frien
Compassion is hard to express in words
The trembling flowers they bring
Fear in the roots and the stem
What happened to me they know could happen
to them.
Can I forgive him
No, I cannot
Can I forgive him
No
ESMERALDA
Only God can say 'Forgive'
His son too received a knife
But we go on, we have to live
With this cross we call our life
1ST MOTHER
Feels like a bomb fell
And wave after wave come the aftershocks
I Wish Tonight Could Last Forever Lyrics
It feels so good to be by your side Oh darling let me be your guide >From tonight let's stay together There's a blue moon in the sky Tonight, It's there for you and I Darling, let my love surround you Oh but I'm so glad I found you/>
2ND MOTHER
You can't believe that it's true
There must be some mistake
You drift through this nightmare from which you can't wake
BOTH MOTHERS
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him,
No, I cannot
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him, no, I cannot
Can I forgive him?
Can I forgive him, no, I cannot
Can I forgive him
No, I cannot.

My Heart Will Always Belong To You Lyrics
Now darling, you should know That I'm really, really in love with you Although you don't belong to me, darling My heart will always belong to you There are many, many things all around me
