Lyrics

[Cinderella's Prince]
Did I abuse her
Or show her disdain?
Why does she run from me?
If I should lose her
How shall I regain
The heart she has won from me?

Agony
Beyond power of speech
When the one thing you want
Is the only thing out of your reach

[Rapunzel's Prince]
High in her tower
She sits by the hour
Maintaining her hair
Blithe and becoming and frequently humming
A lighthearted air,
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-

Agony
Far more painful than yours
When you know she would go with you
If there only were doors
[Both]
Agony
Oh, the torture they teach
[Rapunzel's Prince]
What's as intriguing
[Cinderella's Prince]
Or half so fatiguing
[Both]
As what's out of reach?

[Cinderella's Prince]
Am I not sensitive,
Clever,
Well-mannered,
Considerate,
Passionate,
Charming,
As kind as I'm handsome
And heir to a throne?
[Rapunzel's Prince]
You are everything maidens could wish for
[Cinderella's Prince]
Then why no?
[Rapunzel's Prince]
Do I know?
[Cinderella's Prince]
The girl must be mad
[Rapunzel's Prince]
You know nothing of madness
Til you're climbing her hair
And you see her up there
As you're nearing her
All the while hearing her
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-

[Both]
Agony
[Cinderella's Prince]
Misery
[Rapunzel's Prince]
Woe
[Both]
Though it's different for each

[Cinderella's Prince]
Always ten steps behind...
[Rapunzel's Prince]
Always ten feet below...
[Both]
And she's just out of reach
Agony
That can cut like a knife...
...I must have her to wife
