A Long Time Coming Lyrics by Jon English, Sheila Parker

Paris (Original Musical Soundtrack)

[HELEN]
My stars have told
New events will unfold
And my life will be filled with changing
Yet while I'm sought
In my husband's court
I'm saving perfect strangers
It's strange
Strange
I've had a wish
For long years now
A secret thing
Haunting my nights
For long years now
A childhood dream
I married young
In love with power
A fantasy soon turned sour
A memory from ages past
Has been a long time
Coming at last
Gods said queens
Aren't allowed to be lonely
They live their lives for their followers only
To be gazed at
And worshipped
Like stars above
And nеver, never, nеver
Fall in love
It's been a long time
Coming at last
A long time coming
A chosen one
The gods have blessed
Yet somehow denied me
I hide the aching emptiness
I feel inside me
Though the world
Sees me through different eyes
I'm just a child in disguise
Playing some role
That fate has cast
For a long time coming at last
A long time coming
It's been a long time coming
Long time
It's been a long time
Coming
