This is my take on the Princess Bride as a Musical. I’ve written it as a light Opera: all scenes will be sung. I have melody lines and chords for most songs.  I’ll post each number individually.

Act One, Scene One:

As you Wish

(Narrator)
Buttercup was a beauty
With but two things to enjoy
Going horseback riding
And tormenting her Farm Boy.

Buttercup: Farm boy I require
More wood for the Fire
And then my horses saddle you will polish
Give it such a sheen
My face can be seen
And all you say is simply “As you wish.”

As the seasons pass
I more gently ask
Farmboy, would you please fetch me that dish.
And as I watch your eyes
I begin to realize
There may be something in that “As you wish.”

As you wish is all you say
But your eyes give you away
And my last bit of resistance seem to vanish
While you silently subserve
I can finally observe
What you really mean when you say “As you wish.”

This trip you must take
You’re fortune for to make
“I’ll always come for you”, I hear you say
And though you say its so
I ask you how you know
“True love doesn’t happen every day.”

“As you wish” I hear you say
As I watch you sail away
The horizon makes your vessel vanish
Once your gone I will abide
Know that I will hold inside
The echo of you saying “As you wish.”

Pirates Roberts took your ship
No survivors left of it
Condemning me to live on in anguish
For my love has passed away
I will never hear you say
Your quiet phase of loving
“As you wish.”
