Dislaimer: Paramount owns everything! All hail mighty Paramount. I'm here
to entertain.. not make profit. Song belongs to George Strait.
Tom Paris stares at a picture in his quarters. Well, what used to be he and his wife B'elanna's quarters. B'elanna and Tom had had enough fights to make her get her own. "That's OK," says Tom. "I may be able to get her back."
Later in the evening it is Karaoke night, taking place in the mess hall. All other acts have been completed. Tom, shifts his gaze to B'elanna, who quickly becomes interested in staring at a plant in the corner.
"And last but not least... our final act of the night... Tom Paris will be singing an old earth country song, "Desperately". Give it up for Tom!" Says Neelix enthusiastically. Tom, nervous as hell, goes up to the small stage. He adjusts the microphone and nods to Neelix to start the music.
Every night it's the same
I hear you callin' my name
You're lyin' next to me
I give into your charms
You disappear in my arms
I realize it's just a dream, but
B'elanna whispers to Ensign Lang, "I never knew Tom could sing so well."
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
"If he thinks he's gonna win me back with a song, he's mistaken."
And now I
Shake the sleep from my head
And try to crawl out of bed
Today is just another day
I make the coffee for one
I turn the radio on
Pretend that everything's ok, but
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And now I
Know there's no reason to smile
It's gonna take me awhile
'Cause I still love you desperately
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
B'elanna starts to tear up.
And now I
Watch the sun goin' down
There ain't nobody around
I feel a night in the breeze
I keep on tellin' myself
I don't need nobody else
And I can do as I please, but
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And now I
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And now
Every night it's the same
I hear you callin' my name
I still love you desperately
I still love you
I still want you
I still love you desperately
As the song ends, Tom calls into the mic, "B'elanna Torres, I love you. Please forgive me." He rushes down the stairs and kisses her in front of everyone. And she kisses him back-- hard.
