[00:02.814]Where does the time fly?
[00:08.009]Simply too few hours in the day.
[00:15.127]Oh, a diva's work is never done.
[00:21.428]No release, no time for fun.
[00:26.617]Not if a diva has to run an opera company.
[00:37.343]Every small detail to supervise.
[00:42.890]Every pretty face to scru—tinize
[00:52.274]I plan beneath these eyes,this opera company.
[01:01.737]Why take on this arduous chore?Sleepless nightsI pace across my bedroom floor.
[01:13.193]Why do I live completely for this opera company?
[01:25.154]'Cause it's mine,from the stalls,to the portraits on the wall,from the balconies and loges far and near.
[01:33.263]It belongs all to me,every item that you see.
[01:35.897]From the cellars to the crystal chandelier.From the floating marble grand facade,to the elevated promenade.From every toilet bowl,to every leading role.
[01:50.351]This place is mine!
[01:53.168]I will sing, I will glowI will never let it go,I will hold it ever captive in my hand.
[01:58.578]Like a god, like a queenI will enter every scene
[02:01.004]And control it like the kingdom I command.
[02:03.881]And I pity any baritone,who attempts to tread the stage I own.
[02:09.978]With no polite request,he's here at my behest.
[02:15.902]'Cause it's all mine!
[02:18.867]My curtain and my canopy.
[02:24.232]My song, my key, my chart
[02:29.560]My grand romantic destiny,from here my life will start.
[02:40.441]I'll be out on the stage,looking great and half my age.
[02:43.115]Every chance I get,I'll get them on their feet.
[02:45.667]I will burn, I will scheme,I will realize my dream.
[02:48.872]For if I'm not in the light I'm incomplete
[02:51.460]And the best part I'm just coming to,how they'll all applaud for you know who.I can't believe I'm here,and this is my career.
[03:03.344]It must be seen like a torch,we'll engrave it on the porch.
[03:08.588]Like an edict, like a beacon, like a sign!
[03:12.466]This place is mine!
