Sheerezade: I know a thousand tales to fill a thousand nights
But now another story comes to mind, a nobel young vizer
Ascends to wondrous heights, he's brilliant as he's handsome
And handsome as he's kind, he is at once familiar and unknowable
To the frightened girl he meets along the way, and to the girl's suprise
Something in his eyes beckons her to know him and inspires her to say
I want to know your story, I want to know your past
So tell me slowly from the start, leave out no detail, savor every part
I want to know your story, so make the story last
I want to know each twist and turn, tell me all I've missed, I've so much to learn
For when it comes to stories, I thought I knew them all
But now I'm face to face with one I can't seem to recall
Ja'Far: The young vizier had come to help inspire change
But fate has planned an unexpected twist within the palace walls
He discovers something strange and found a missing part of him
He didn't know he missed
She's at once a comfort and a mystery, to the callow man she meets that fateful day
She's beautiful and wise, and something in her eyes
Beckons him to know her and inspires him to say
I want to know your story, I want to know your past
I want to know your future too
Fill my days and nights with the tale of you
Both: I want to know your story, so make the story last
And linger over every part, tell it until I know every bit by heart
I never cared for stories until you entered mine
And now my only wish is that our plots may intertwine
Ja'far: But I forget what happens next, I'm not sure I understand
Remind me how she answers when he asks for her hand
Sheerezade: Took you long enough! Yes! She says Yes!
Both: A thousand and one nights with you is not long enough to spend
So let's make ours a story with no end, so let's make ours a story with no end
