Note: These are five songs from "Notre-Dame de Paris" that I rewrote after an epiphany I'd had while driving, a very dangerous thing for a writer... ("Notre-Dame de Paris" is the musical based on Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame.) I couldn't help but think how much the musical reminded me of my book DBZ: And the Greatest of These, and so, with a little work, I rewrote the songs to reflect the characters (Piccolo, Vegeta, and Goku, with Kami as the narrator). I'm working on the sixth, which is a song for Kurenai.

This song is based on "Your Love Will Kill Me."

MY LOVE WILL KILL HER

Goku

I feel a wave of passion
Move through my heart with such pain
This is beyond all reason
But I can't let passion reign

It happened so easily
As we stood under the stars
What is she doing to me
How could this come so far

My love will kill her, my love will kill her
How can she bear this curse
To remain alone forever

My love will kill her, my love will kill her
And I knew it would be
When she looked at me
When I looked at her

My love will kill her, my love will kill her
My love will kill her

This has become obsession
Crazy desire she brings
I know this can never happen
But still I see her weeping

Her violet eyes still haunt me
I live to feel her kiss
Oh, God, I know she wants me
Please, God, how can you do this

My love will kill her, my love will kill her
How can she bear this curse
To remain alone forever

My love will kill her, my love will kill her
And I knew it would be
When she looked at me
When I looked at her

My love will kill her, my love will kill her
My love will kill her

How can "to love" mean "to kill"
I know I mustn't but still
I lose my strength and my will
And now my tears start to spill

I never knew such desire
Just looking into her eyes
And now the heart in me cries
And now my soul is on fire

My love will kill her, my love will kill her
How can she bear this curse
To remain alone forever

My love will kill her, my love will kill her
And I knew it would be
When she looked at me
When I looked at her

My love will kill her, my love will kill her
My love will kill her
My love will kill her

My love will kill her, my love will kill her
My love will kill her
