	Music & Lyrics: John Popper
	If Cyrano De Bergerac
	Fell prey to the blades of fifty men
	With a heart and a sword he'd drive them back
	Perchance to see Roxanne's eyes light up the sky again
	And when beauty kind and full of grace
	Again denied the beast her hand
	The beast he turned and hid his face
	And tried with all his might and magic to understand
	And once upon a time
	You know I used to wondery why
	You know no one should need to cry
	In pain of a heart forbade to fly
	But you learn to say goodbye
	As you whisper beneath a sigh
	Sweet pain
	Can't you plainly see?
	Sweet pain
	You know it matters to me
	Sweet pain
	Won't you make me feel at home?
	Sweet pain
	Don't you dare leave me alone
	Sometimes a life that seems hard to take
	Is soothed for a while by an old friend
	Leaving a bad need in its wake
	Sad how, some friendships never ever seem to end
	Well all of my heroes up and died
	Songs and a dream are left for me
	What did them in, not suicide
	Just a lengthy friendship and a dream of （how） it could be
	And isn't it a crime?
	Was it more than they could bear?
	You know they did not even care
	At all and they might have something there
	But I'm here and I don't see where
	All I hear is their silent prayer
	Sweet pain
	Is it so terribly wrong?
	Sweet pain
	To want to come along
	Sweet pain
	Won't you make me smile?
	Sweet pain
	If only for a while
	Can you feel what I feel?
	So we can establish that the pain is real
	Don't be afraid and I'll do the same for you
	And we'll just hang on and we'll make it, make it through
	There's got to be a reason it works out this way
	And there's something deep inside me
	That makes me have to play
	For you
	For you
	In no position to give advice
	My heart it spoke and I wrote it down
	And you know every wisdom has its price
	My head up in the stars
	And my feet planted firmly on the ground
	When will I embrace this life I see?
	I've been wondering for so long
	Thinking back, the truth may be
	I've been unaware but I've been living it all along
	And it didn't cost a dime
	And it did not come for free
	It just would not let me be
	But it never conquered me
	Just a doorway and a key
	And I think that we both agree
	Sweet pain
	Is sometimes what you need
	Sweet pain
	It allows the blood to bleed
	Sweet pain
	From the moment of your birth
	Sweet pain
	You know it keeps you here on Earth
