ERIC: (Spoken) Are you feeling better now? You sure?
You're not going to faint on me again, are you? [Sighs]
Oh. . . . Maybe you have no idea what I'm talking about. . . .
ARIEL: If only you could know
The things I long to say
ERIC: (Spoken) There's a lot more to you than meets the eye, isn't there?
ARIEL: If only I could tell you
What I wish I could convey
ERIC: (Spoken)
You know how sometimes you meet someone and everything changes -- Just like that?
ARIEL: It's in my every glance
My heart's an open book
ERIC: (Spoken) Suddenly the world comes together!
You know what you've been missing all your life!
ARIEL: You'd see it all at once
If only you would look
ERIC: (Spoken) That's happened to me. . . . You see, I met this girl, and . . .
[Sighs] Oh . . . Her voice was . . . I'm sorry.
I shouldn't be bothering you with all this. I really enjoyed our talk. . . . Sleep well.
ARIEL: 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
All my shackles,
They'd 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 it were true,
If only for a while
ERIC: (But, 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
ERIC: Memories fade,
Strange how they blur
But when she calls to me,
I'll know it's her
ARIEL: If only. . . .
