Lyrics (Draft version)[]
Could she be the one
Could she be meant for me
Or is this just another dream
Another fleeting fantasy
Or could it be for once my dream is coming true
Is she standing here with me
And could she be the one
Changing, changing
So deep inside
Something is changing me
And I know I cannot hide it
Feeling strangely
So very strange
Could it be my hour has come
And could she really be the one
Yearning, yearning
Inside my soul
I feel a yearning now
Thought I'd lost it long ago
Now it's returning
And burning like the sun
Could it be my hour has come
And could she really be the one
Tell me now, now
Am I going insane
Could she really be meant for me
I'm slipping down, down
And I'm spinning around
Like a leaf that has lost its tree
I'd give my life
If this could only be
Fiona...
Dear world, let your banners unfurl
Let the church bells peal
'Cause it seems that my hour may have come
I'm beginning to see
Oh I think it could be
Yes it's happened to me...
She's the one
Lyrics (Performance version)[]
DILLON:
Could she be the one
Could she be meant for me
Or is this just another dream
Another fleeting fantasy
Or could it be for once my dreams are coming true
Is she standing here with me
FIONA:
Could it really be
Is it all a crazy dream
The major seems completely mad
A crazy man in high command
If this is true it's headline story time for me
Think I'll hang around and see
DILLON:
Could she be meant for me
FIONA:
If it could really be
DILLON:
Changing, changing
So deep inside
Something is changing me
And I know I cannot hide it
FIONA:
What a story
What a find
A commanding officer
Who appears to be out of his mind
DILLON:
Yearning, yearning
Inside my soul
Something is yearning, now
Something lost so long ago
FIONA:
They won't believe it
What I've just found
Could be worth the big one
When the Pulitzers are passed around
BOTH:
Tell me now, now
Is (s)he playing a game
And which side do I choose
FIONA:
My story at last
DILLON:
It happened so fast
BOTH:
And it's something I don't dare lose
DILLON:
I'm in a daze
BOTH:
This could be headline news
DILLON:
Fiona...
BOTH:
Dear world, let your banners unfurl
Have you heard the news
It seems my hour may have come
FIONA:
And what a chance
BOTH:
I'm beginning to see
Beginning to see
Beginning to see
DILLON:
She's...
BOTH:
The one
