You were so like a soft-petaled flower,
And when approached our wedding hour,
I wish I could have done more than cower,
For you, Beatrice
ooooOoooo
With eyes like the moon,
You were gone far too soon,
The house was in ashes by noon,
Your house, Beatrice
ooooOoooo
With you I was in bliss,
And with out first kiss,
I never knew I would miss,
You, Beatrice.
ooooOoooo
I a critic, you an actress,
On the balcony in your dragonfly dress,
I would never have done it unless,
it was for you, Beatrice
ooooOoooo
On our engagement night,
You told me, 'It's all right'
In the moon's glistening light,
Shining for you, Beatrice
ooooOoooo
Olaf started the disastrous fire,
It wasn't I, he was a liar,
But I knew the situation was dire,
For you Beatrice
ooooOoooo
I knew I must quickly flee,
But it was tearfully, without glee,
That I flew in secret to far-off Chile,
Away from you, Beatrice
ooooOoooo
If I hadn't taken the bowl from Esmé,
You would be here to this day,
I wouldn't have it any other way,
For you, Beatrice
ooooOoooo
She wouldn't have put the blame on you,
Even though deep down she knew,
That your pleads of innocents were true,
And spared you, Beatrice
ooooOoooo
When I heard I raced quickly to your house,
In time to hear the cries of you and your spouse,
But Olaf had escaped, the louse,
And killed you, Beatrice
ooooOoooo
Why did you marry that Baudelaire?
And I always thought you would care
For me no matter where
You were, Beatrice
ooooOoooo
And then you had children, mocking me
Because your husband I never could be,
After I was forced to flee,
Leaving you, Beatrice
ooooOoooo
I will look after them that aren't mine,
A plead on my life, I would sign,
Though it is not for them I pine,
It's for you, Beatrice.
ooooOoooo
You are gone, that I know,
Never to be mine and so,
My life is misery and woe,
I love you, Beatrice
