After the crash and the broken gla** And the nightmare memorial I wanted to end it all, end it all You came into my room and you sat on my bed I threw the blankets over my head I turned my face to the wall, to the wall You said I'd see you again When I checked out of my room at the end of the hall I'd recognize you Belle of the Ball I saw you again in a halfway place Your green satin dress, Your beautiful face I thought you were dead you said that's not the case But it's a kind of a wall And then you faded you faded away The fairest of all, I begged you to stay It's been so long now I can't really say I ever knew you at all You said I'd see you again When I checked out of my room at the end of the hall I'd recognize you Belle of the Ball The last time I saw you you were heading out to sea You were hauling up sails The sunset would swallow you I wanted to follow you You said not yet, not yet And my feet they were sinking into the sand I was resoundingly rooted to land But I heard you call to me Don't forget, don't forget I'll see you again when I leave this hotel It'll be so entrancing the music will swell And we'll all be dancing You'll be the belle of the ball
