When Love Is True

[Edmond]
Do you see that star above the moon?

[Mercédès]
Yes, the star that we both share

[Edmond]
It's the one that leads me home to you

[Mercédès]
Then I pray God leaves it there
For I'm useless as a broken heart without you

[Edmond]
And I'm empty as my pockets without you

[Mercédès]
Someday, Edmond, you'll be captain
And then I'll be the captain's bride

[Edmond]
Sooner that you think, Mercédès, dear
Maybe on this evening's tide
For Monsieur Morrel has hastened our tomorrow

[Mercédès]
Is it true, mon dieu?

[Edmond]
A captain you shall wed

[Both]
When love is true
Nothing stands in your way

[Edmond]
God in his Heaven smiles and then
The where and when of stars and men
Suddenly fall in place

[Mercédès]
No one could ask for more
Diamonds and rubies can not buy
What will not die is never through

[Both]
Never when love is true

[Edmond]
Like the wind that fills a sail

[Both]
True

[Edmond]
Like a light that will not fail

[Mercédès]
Hold me
Let me memorise your face

[Edmond]
When I’m lost in your embrace

[Mercédès]
For eternity

[Edmond]
When love is true
True as the star we share

[Mercédès]
Constant and always waiting there

[Edmond]
The undertow that won’t let go

[Mercédès]
You are my one true faith

[Both]
My one relentless fair
Now and forever
Let it be you I'll see
And let it be no one but me who
Runs to you each time you call
Let me be the one who shows you
All love can do
When love is true
