Marla Schaffel, James Barbour & Jane Eyre Ensemble - Brave Enough for Love

Sir, I have come back to you
Content
Great God! What delusion is this?
Ready to stand here by your side,
As you see fit
Is it Jane?
As your friend, or as your bride.
My living Jane!
Sir, you are my second self
And I will be your hands
I'll be your eyes
I am here
With my heart
I can't see, but I can feel
How I've loved you, every day.
I've loved you stronger every day
How I've lived without your touch
How I've struggled to survive
Only God above can say.
Am I hideous, Jane?
Very, sir. You always were you know.
I see the wickedness is still within you.
But is it really you, Jane? Are you come back to me?
I am!
And you are not dead in some ditch, or an outcast among strangers?
No, sir! I am an independent woman now!
And independent woman?
My aunt has died and left me her fortune
Then you possess more wealth than I.
What could I possibly offer?
I am no better
Than the old chestnut
Struck down by lightning
Its life cleft in two
For why should you marry
A blind man, a cripple
Tell me, Jane, what right do I have to you?
I prayed in the name of God
Don't let Jane suffer
Don't let her die
For three days, in my despair
I cried to heaven
Where is Jane Eyre?
Then, from my lips
Came a voice, came a name
I cried "Jane" from the depths
