Hero and Leander
A. Guettel
Could I be Leander?
On a wave am I borne?
Borne to a new home across this lonely sea?
Could you be my Hero, heart afire?
My lighthouse on the shoreline
Could you be that to me?
Oh, I need you
I need the rise and fall of your voice
Oh, I love you
And now I have a love to rejoice
Hero and Leander, how your passion is brave
Even if I drown here inside this wave
My lighthouse on the shoreline
My passion on this lonely sea
My loving you was meant to be
Now, could you be that to me?
