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
