Cover art for Bye Bye Beautiful lyrics by Nightwish

"It's not the tree that forsakes the flower , but the flower that forsakes the tree," is a line from Monte Cristo. Obviously, it was "borrowed" by Nightwish and not the other way around.

In context, it was used by the Count himself and was in reference to a beautiful young slave who he treated as a daughter and friend, not really romantically.
