Lyrics
[Intro: Soft Organ and Accordion Melody]
Verse 1:
In the heart of Paris, where shadows dance,
Lived a hunchback in the tower, longing for romance.
Quasimodo, with his eyes so deep,
Watched over the city, as lovers did sleep.
Beneath the stars and moon's embrace,
He found solace in her gypsy grace.
Her laughter, a balm to his aching soul,
A fleeting glimpse of love's elusive goal.
Pre-Chorus:
Esmeralda, a gypsy with grace,
Her beauty, a light in that sacred place.
Through the stained glass, her silhouette,
A vision of hope, he'd never forget.
Chorus:
Under the bells of Notre Dame,
A love so pure, yet fraught with harm.
He watched her dance, in the moonlight's glow,
His heart whispered, "She'll never know."
Echoes of a love, silent and true,
In the shadows where the night dew grew.

Verse 2:
High in the rafters, where gargoyles stand guard,
He dreamed of her smile, though his life was hard.
Esmeralda, with kindness so rare,
Brought warmth to his soul, in the cool evening air.
Her voice, a melody, in the twilight's hush,
A symphony of love, in the night's soft rush.
His heart, a prisoner, in a stone-cold cage,
Yearned for her touch, on life's grand stage.
Pre-Chorus:
In the square, her laughter did ring,
A fleeting joy, to which he'd cling.
A dance of light, in the darkened night,
A moment of grace, so pure and bright.
Chorus:
Under the bells of Notre Dame,
A love so pure, yet fraught with harm.
He watched her dance, in the moonlight's glow,
His heart whispered, "She'll never know."
Echoes of a love, silent and true,
In the shadows where the night dew grew.
[Musical Interlude: Harp and Soft Percussion]
Verse 3:
In the silence of the night, he made his plea,
For a life where beauty and beast could be free.
But fate was cruel, as stories unfold,
A tragic love, in the city's old hold.
Her eyes, the mirror of his deepest fears,
Reflected his sorrow, through endless tears.
The chimes of the bells, a requiem,
For the love that bloomed, then withered again.
Pre-Chorus:
Esmeralda's kindness, a fleeting chance,
A tale of sorrow, a twisted romance.
A kiss of fate, on the winds of time,
A love that lingered, in notes of rhyme.
Chorus:
Under the bells of Notre Dame,
A love so pure, yet fraught with harm.
He watched her dance, in the moonlight's glow,
His heart whispered, "She'll never know."
Echoes of a love, silent and true,
In the shadows where the night dew grew.
[Outro: Receding Organ and Accordion Melody]
As the dawn broke, and the city awoke,
The hunchback's heart, in silence, spoke.
[Fade to End]
[End]
Chorus:
Under the bells of Notre Dame,
A love so pure, yet fraught with harm.
He watched her dance, in the moonlight's glow,
His heart whispered, "She'll never know."
Echoes of a love, silent and true,
In the shadows where the night dew grew.
[Outro: Receding Organ and Accordion Melody]
As the dawn broke, and the city awoke,
The hunchback's heart, in silence, spoke.
[Fade to End]
[End]
