Description
This is a quote from the Musical 'Wicked' based on Gregory Maguire's novel 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' which is a parallel novel based upon the writings of L. Frank Baum and his novel 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'.Phew. What a mouthful. Basically a quote from a musical from a book based on another book.
Here's the song it came from. The bit I chose is near the end of the song
Elphaba
Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl:
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl
Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl:
Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl

Well this is unusual for me, the only other I have is a snapshot from my favourite film - Andrew Lloyd Webbers The Phantom of the Opera, so the rose is kind of key

XD First thank you very much for the suggestion, I would never have thought about it, BUT my sister showed me that apparantly there's a basic editing software on the laptop, and so I've edited it. I was wondering what you thought of it? I'd really appreciate the feedback. Thank you.
