My Opera

Suzanne Mondoux · 5 November 2020

I sing to you my opera of all tragedy Soon the symphony will follow Join the masquerade party and perform with me My opera of all magical drama in existence You’re just fooling around with me on this stage of life You have fooled me once, and more than thrice So I love being your fool, my opera At curtain call I lay my head on your lap I surrender all that I am and leave you my soul My opera, my greatest love of all love Our tragedy exquisite in every way The pain sublime, I would have it no other way My opera, I lay at your feet for the rest of my life You hold my death in your delicate hands I waste no time to see my way through our suffering The house is full, all eyes on you My opera, I surrender
