Lament Chords & Lyrics - Andrew Lloyd Webber

[Bm]The choice was [Em]mine, and mine com[Bm]pletely
I could [G]have any p[A]rize that I de[Em]sired
I could [Bm]burn with the [G]splendor of the [D]brightest [F]fire
Or [G]else
Or else I could choose...[Bm]time
[Bm]Remember, [Em]I was very [Bm]young then
And a [G]year was fo[A]rever and a [Em]day
So what use could [Bm]50, [G]60, [D]70 [F]be?
I [G]saw the lights and I was on my [Bm]way
And how I [F]lived! [Bm]
How they [F]shone!
But how [G]soon the lights were [Bm]gone...

[Bm]The choice was [Em]mine, and no one e[Bm]lse's
I could [G]have the [A]millions at my [Em]feet
Give my [Bm]life to the [G]people I might [D]never [F]meet
Or [G]else...
To children of my [Bm]own
[Bm]Remember, [Em]I was very [Bm]young then
[G]Thought I needed the [A]numbers on my [Em]side
Thought the [G]more who loved me, the m[Bm]ore loved I'd be
That such [G]things could not be multi[Bm]plied
Oh my [F]daughter! [Bm]
Oh my [F]son!
Unders[G]tand what I have [Bm]done...

[Beauticians]
[Bm]Eyes, hair, face, image...
[F#m]All must be preserved
[Bm]Still life displayed forever
[F#m]No less than she deserved
