“Once More, With Feeling” quotes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

[From "Rest In Peace"]

Spike

I died so many years ago.

But you can make me feel,

Like it isn't so.

Why you come to be with me,

I think I finally know.

You're scared, ashamed of what you feel.

You can't tell the ones you love,

You know they couldn't deal.

Whisper in the deadman's ear,

It doesn't make it real.

That's great,

But I don't wanna play.

Being with you touches me,

More than I can say.

But since I'm only dead to you,

I'm saying "stay away"

And let me rest in peace.

Spike

First he'll kill her, then I'll save her.

Tara

Everything is turning out so dark.

Buffy

Going through the motions...

Spike

No, I'll save her, then I'll kill her.

Willow

I think this line's mostly filler...

Giles

What's it gonna take to strike a spark?

Buffy

These endless days are finally ending in a blaze

The point of no return.

So we will walk through the fire,

And let it

Burn.

[From "Something To Sing About"]

Buffy

Life's a song you don't get to rehearse

And every single verse

Can make it that much worse

Still my friends don't know why I ignore

The million things or more

I should be dancing for.

All the joys life sends

Family and friends

All the twists and bends

Knowing that it ends

Well that depends

On if they let you go

On if they know enough to know

That when you've bowed

You leave the crowd

There was no pain;

No fear, no doubt

'Til they pulled me out of Heaven

So that's my refrain

I live in Hell

'Cause I was expelled from Heaven.

I think I was in Heaven.

["Something to Sing About"]

Spike

Life's not a song;

Life isn't bliss.

Life is just this.

It's living

You'll get along

The pain that you feel

You only can heal

By living

You have to go on living

So one of us is living.

Dawn

The hardest thing in this world... is to live in it.

[From "Sweet's Song (Reprise)"]

You guys have been real swell.

And there's not a one

Who can say this ended well.

All those secrets you've been concealing.

Say you're happy now

Once more with feeling.

Now I gotta run.

See you all

In Hell.

[From "I've Got a Theory"]

It could be bunnies!

[Everyone stares at her awkwardly; cricket noises are heard]

Tara

I've got a--

[Anya suddenly sings loudly, hard rock style, complete with spotlights and pyrotechnics]

They've got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses!

And what's with all the carrots?!

What do they need such good eyesight for anywaaaaay?!

Bunnies, bunnies, IT MUST BE BUNNIES!

[Everyone stares at her again]
