The Dreams of Candlelight

(THERESA)
 Could this night it last forever
 Every moment held together
 As if in a perfect trance
 And such a thing could be
 No one else would understand it
 We would know the gods had planned it
 And for such a night as this
 That they gave memory
 And we would live inside this night
 Within the dreams of candlelight
 If you would bring this wish to life
 And spend this night with me
 ♪
 Could this moment last forever
 ♪
 And this dream our one endeavor
 If the stars would just enchant
 And time would then agree
 Every moment of tomorrow
 From this evening we would borrow
 If this wish the stars would grant
 And gently oversee
 And me would live inside this night
 Within the dreams on candlelight
 If you would bring this wish to life
 And spend this night with me

 (Beethoven tells Fate that this was the happiest moment of his life. When she asks why did it have to end he replies, "Because it had to.")
 (Fate again inquires, "Why?")
 ("No woman wants to spend her life with a deaf musician, let alone a lady of such high station and beauty.")

 (Fate takes them to Beethoven's parlor in 1801. There they see the composer slumped over the piano. He is going deaf and he realizes that it is irreversible. As far as he is concerned, his life is over.)
