ARIEL
If only you could know
The things I long to say
If only I could tell you
What i wish i could convey
It's in my every glance
My heart's an open book
You'd see it all at once
If only you would look
If only you could glimpse
The feeling that I feel
If only you would notice
What I'm dying to reveal
The dreams I can't declare
The needs I can't deny
You'd understand them all
If only you would try
All my secrets, you would learn them
All my longings, you'd return them
Then the silence would be broken
Not a word would need be spoken...
ERIC
What is it about her that's
So wonderfully and possibly familiar
Why do I feel dizzy in a way
I've only felt but once before
How come when she looks at me
It seems like time stops moving
Almost like the way it did
That day upon the shore!
But that voice
ARIEL
If only ears were true
If only for a while
ERIC
Ah, that voice!
ARIEL
If only you would notice
How I ache behind my smile
ERIC
Where's that voice?
ARIEL
I guess you never will
I guess it doesn't show
But if i never find a way
To tell you so
Oh, what I would give
If only you could know...
SEBASTIAN
(spoken)
Bless you child. Tomorrow, the Prince will have his pick of any Princess in the land.
How can a little mermaid compete with that?
(sung)
If only i knew how
I'd make him see the light
If only it were up to me
This all would turn out right
And if I only could
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd simply wave me claw
And make your dreams come true
And wouldn't that surprise you
If you only knew?
KING TRITON
How could she just suddenly
Completely disappear into thin water?
It's been two whole days
And I Don't know where she has gone!
ERIC
Oh, that voice!
KING TRITON
If only you could know
SEBASTIAN
If only I could help
ERIC
Where's that voice?
ARIEL
If only there were time
I know we'd kiss at last
ERIC
That voice!
KING TRITON
If only you'd come back
I'll change my ways
SEBASTIAN
Just one more day
For that kiss to come
ARIEL
But time keeps racing forward
And our moment's almost past
KING TRITON
I'll try to understand
ARIEL
It has to happen now
SEBASTIAN
I'd give my life up
To make it happen
KING TRITON
I'd give my timber low
I should have started listening
To you long ago
ERIC
How I wish that girl could
Have been this one
ARIEL
There's only one more day
Until I have to go
ERIC
If only...
ARIEL, SEBASTIAN, AND KING TRITON
Oh, what I would give
If only you could know
ERIC
And at the ball, what will accumb?
Maybe I'll find that voice
But I'll loose her...
ARIEL
If only...
SEBASTIAN
If only...
KING TRITON
If only...
If only you could know
The things I long to say
If only I could tell you
