[The truth of the matter is that Billy isn't a performer, at least not of the arts; his interest isn't in theater and music on that side of the stage the way Teddy's is. He likes to watch, to listen, to just shut out the rest of the world and let their stories take him away. And the only reason he can draw with any semblance of skill is that generally there's no one around to watch him do it. Putting on a show for people has never been something he's overly fond of.

I looked in the sky
And there I saw a star
Shining so bright above
I closed my eyes
And wished upon the star
That I would fine true love
Someone who needed me
Someone to share my life
For a love that would be true
I would wait forever
