Let Me In

(From the 1993 movie "Rigoletto") I love the part in fairy tales That's very near the end When all the kingdom cheers for this new queen; And all is well and all is good And everyone belongs, And happily they're ever-aftering. But when I enter the kingdom of dreams And face the promise of all I can be Will they see me as a heroine? Tell me, will they let me in? I love the hour the seasons change And winter turns to spring, And empty branches welcome newborn leaves. The earth makes room for every flower That reaches for the sun; "We're glad you've come" is whispered on the breeze. But when I enter the spring of my dreams Just like a wildflower that burst on the scene, Will I find my place with a gentle wind? Tell me, will they let me in? And if a heart's breaking. A part of me's aching To show them how much that I care. But if no one lets me Or turns and forgets me, then how, How can I share? There is a part of fairy tales That's very near the end; The princess and the prince proclaim their love, And hearts are healed and souls are changed And two blend into one, All orchestrated by the stars above. But when I stand at the door of my dreams And face a lonely heart calling for me, I could fill that emptiness within If that heart would let me in. Won't someone let me in?
