I Know Those Eyes / This Man Is Dead Frank Wildhorn and Jack Murphy (Ft. Brandi Burkhardt & Thomas Borchert)

[Mercédès]
My God, my heart beats faster!
And my mind is racing
Could it be...?
Could it be that you've come back to life?

I know those eyes, following me
Dark and familiar, and deep as the sea
I know that face, strange though it seems
Younger and kinder, it haunts all my dreams

How can you stand there, a whisper from me?
Yet somehow, be so far away?
In eyes once familiar, a stranger I see
With so many words left to say

[Edmond]
This man is dead, he is no more
He died a little each day
Like a thief, the Château d'If has stolen him away
The mind plays tricks
You are confused
The man you seek is long gone

Dead and cold
A story told, by those he trusted,
those he loved, and those who then...
moved on[Edmond]
I am a ghost, just a mirage
Who chases traces of you[Mercédès]
There in that voice...
Traces of you...[Mercédès]
Dark and familiar, and deep as the sea[Edmond]
This man is dead, he is no more
And though it's torturing me[Mercédès]
I know those eyes...
 
Torturing me[Both]
Can either of us really ever be free?
How can you stand there a whisper from me...?
When you are still so far away?
And why does the truth seem too hard to be true?
With so much broken...
[Edmond]
And so much damage

[Both]
There are no words

[Edmond]
Left to say...
