Aida soundtrack – Amneris' Dressing Room lyrics
Album: Aida
AMNERIS is dressed for her wedding by four handmaidens. They present her with
a fantastic wedding gown. She stands lifeless, still reeling from the shock
of what she witnessed.
Why do I want him still?
Why when there's nothing there?
How to go on with the rest of my life
To pretend I don't care
This should've been my time
It's over-It never began
I closed my eyes to so much for so long
and I no longer can
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of twist in my fate
But I know the truth and it haunts me
I learned it a little too late
Oh I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
I learned it a little too late
Too late
(AMNERIS is now fully dressed and stands there like a painted life-sized doll.)
