It's True Love

(album: Razia's Shadow: A Musical - 2008)

[Thomas Dutton (playing Adakias):]
It seems to me like every star agreed to meet
Right over our heads tonight to fix there bright.

[Greta Salpeter (playing Anhura):]
The light collects in your eyes, turns and reflects, jumps into mine.
I'm a slave to the sign.

[Thomas Dutton (playing Adakias):]
My hands shake, our minds race from the thought of love.
Yet we curb our speech because words are not enough
To wedge this instant, burn this moment into our memory.
Let go, take my hand and trust in me.
Anhura, can't you see, that we were meant to be?

It's true love, it's true love...
It's true love, it's true love...

[Greta Salpeter (playing Anhura):]
I admit I would guess your touch could
Fill me with such thoughts to marry you, have your babies too.
Is it too good to be true?

[Thomas Dutton (playing Adakias):]
I can't let her learn about my past.
If she found out where I came from, she'd turn so fast.
And not look back, I can't go back, I just won't go back!

[Greta Salpeter (playing Anhura):]
I can't slow down, I'm scared I'm falling too fast.
Adakias can't you see that I'm your first kiss?

[Thomas Dutton and Greta Salpeter (playing Adakias and Anhura):]
We were meant to be!

[Thomas Dutton (playing Adakias):]
Don't you ever feel like you've been destined for something bigger than your skin?

[Greta Salpeter (playing Anhura):]
Don't you ever feel like you've been destined for something bigger than your skin?

[Thomas Dutton and Greta Salpeter (playing Adakias and Anhura):]
It's true love, it's true love...
It's true love, it's true love...
It's true love, it's true love...
It's true love, it's true love...

[Aaron Weiss (playing the Narrator):]
Love was everywhere. You could taste it in the air.
The couple was eager to trade vows, to float away, and settle down.
But first, Adakias had to meet Anhura's father,
His Majesty, the one and only, His Royal Highness.
The King.
He had to kiss his jeweled fist and bow to the crown,
Kneeling on the ground.
He would propound to become her prince.
