After the Fall

(THERESA)
 Time
 Only time
 Could never take me away from you
 And why
 Should it try
 Time never cares just what we do
 It just sits on a star
 And gazes down
 Dropping it's moments all around
 And if I could wish upon that star
 I would find what you dream
 And then ask God to grant it
 I wanted
 To say this
 Long before this dark would fall
 At night I
 Would pray this
 Then wonder if god heard at all
 For the chances I've had are now long gone
 And that star is no longer wished upon
 For in this night it seems too far away
 Try
 I have tried
 To pretend that I don't care
 But then
 Sleep arrives
 And in every dream I find you there
 But I don't want the past to be my life
 And I don't want to live inside the night
 But I don't want to see your shadow fade
 So I sleep and I dream
 Though I don't understand it
 I wanted
 To say this
 Long before this dark would fall
 At night I
 Would pray this
 Then wonder if god heard at all
 for that star is no longer wished upon
 For in this night it seems too far away
 You can live your life in a thousand ways
 But it all comes down to that single day
 When you realize what you regret
 What you can't reclaim but you can't forget
 If I could just fall back into my life
 And find you there inside this night
 And let eternity just drift away
 (Beethoven realizes that Theresa never would have cared about his deafness and is crushed as he realizes what might have been. To ease the pain of his regret, Fate then shows him glimpses of the future and the countless musicians who will be inspired by, and build upon the legacy of his music. She then allows him a final vision; a vision in which he improvises with musicians from the past by whom he was inspired, as well as musicians from the future, who will be inspired by him.)
