[Verse 1] [Piano Only | Sparse | Intimate] [Soft female vocal | breathy | melodic] You always have a green light Burning all night at the end of your dock [Female vocals — steady, grounded] Love is not an illusion you live inside Not a fantasy trapped in your mind Don’t love a version of me you’ve left behind Don’t let me be a tragic memory A distant green light in your reverie A fixation that has no remedy [Pre-chorus] [Add cello | subtle lift | emotional tension builds] Don’t hide behind a party Gatsby Be my Darcy Be my Darcy…. [Chorus] I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot It began in admiration of her eyes. [Strings | cello | fuller piano enter here] [Female vocals — steady, grounded] Don’t chase a memory of me Find what you love and let it grow deep Don’t waste a moment to show me How love is supposed to be Don’t let it be a thing of the past Let it be vast, unsurpassed Built to last [Verse 2] [Piano only | return to intimacy] Be with me always, take any form, drive me mad [Female Vocals — steady, grounded] Love is not fire that burns us down Or dark waters where we’re left to drown It doesn’t ravage and tear everything down Don’t let vengeance consume your soul Let your wounds be the only thing you hold Don’t leave us broken, never to be whole [Pre-chorus] [Add fuller cello | small lift | tension without volume] Don’t burn every sorry Heathcliff Be my Darcy Be my Darcy…. [Chorus] My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject forever. [Strings | cello | fuller piano] [Female Vocals — steady, grounded] Don’t let our love hold suffering Don’t see me as the hell you’re living in Make every effort to show me That you truly want to know me Don’t try to possess me Let me be, let me take the lead Let our love be steady [Instrumental Bridge] [Piano | cello | violin | gentle string swell] [No vocals | reflective | emotional release] [Builds gently, then resolves downward into Verse 3] [Verse 3] [Piano only | delicate reset] Thus with a kiss I die. [Female Vocals — intimate, knowing] Love is not impulsion or fleeting infatuation Not a stage built from imagination Love requires transformation Reckless hearts can’t hold its shape It cannot be rushed, it isn’t a race Don’t let us die before you learn my face [Pre-chorus] [Add cello | restrained lift] Don’t let your kiss place a dagger in me Romeo Be my Darcy Be my Darcy…. [Chorus] You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you. [Strings | cello | fuller piano] [Female Vocals — fullest emotional expression, not louder] Don’t let our love be fleeting Don’t rush towards forever before we begin Give me tenderness, don’t leave me bleeding Don’t let our beginning be our end Treasure me in the years we spend Let me depend on your presence Let your love be everything I dream Touch my face as I sleep Let me feel chosen, let me be seen [Outro] [Piano | cello — slow fade] [Female Vocals - sweet and knowing] He is exactly what a man ought to be. Be perfectly meant for me Be my Darcy— Be my Darcy— Love, your Lizzy
