Too much for one heart

Outside there is a war, in here the night is still. the jasmine buds have bloomed, the way the jasmine will. And i have given birth to a speckle of dust, to a sparkle of light to a small hint of life. Frail as a flower in the morning is this tiny work of art when i see his face before me this is too much for one heart Here like a seedling in the garden is a world about to start how i need you here to share it this is too much for one heart yours, half of all of this is yours and i swear it on the moon Soon you will see, the best of you and me in the smile that is shining on the face of your son all alone in my arms i hold such beauty I want time to stop right here make perfection last forever in which i could disappear, disappear. Yours, half of all of this is yours and now i feel you coming near here, you will see the best of you and me for life stories combining in this life weve begun I have been living with such wonder that my soul could burst apart, knowing soon well be together and its too much for one heart.

You Must Love Me

Where do we go from here? This isn't where we intended to be We had it all, you believed in me I believed in you Certainties disappear What do we do for our dream to survive? How do we keep all our passions alive, As we used to do?

[Bridge:] Deep in my heart I'm concealing Things that I'm longing to say Scared to confess what I'm feeling Frightened you'll slip away [Chorus:] You must love me You must love me Why are you at my side? How can I be any use to you now? Give me a chance and I'll let you see how Nothing has changed [bridge] [chorus] You must love me

I Still Believe Lea Salonga (Kim): Last night I saw him sleeping, my body pressed to him. And then he started speaking. The name I heard him speak was Kim... Yes, I know that this was years ago, but when moonlight fills my room I know you are here, still. I stillI still believe you will return.

I know you will. My heart against all odds holds still. Yes, still, I still believe. I know as long as I can keep believing, I'll live. I'll live, love cannot die. You will return, you will return, and I alone know why... Claire Moore (ELLEN): Last night I watched you sleeping. Once more the nightmare came. I heard you cry out something, a word that sounded like a name. And it hurts me more than I can bear knowing part of you I'll never share, never know. But stillI still believe the time will come when nothing keeps us apart. My heart forever more holds still.

It's all over I'm here, there is nothing to fear! Chris, what's haunting you? Won't you let me inside what you so want to hide. I need you too! KIM: ELLEN: For stillI will hold you all night I will make it all right! I still believe You are safe with me! As long as I But I wish you would tell what you don't want to tell, can keep believing I'll live! what you hell must be I'll live, You can sleep now. you will return. You can cry now. And I know why I'm your wife now I'm yours for life BOTH: Until we die. For Good
ELPHABA I'm limited: Just look at me - I'm limited

And just look at you You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda So now it's up to you (spoken) For both of us (sung) Now it's up to you: GLINDA I've heard it said That people come into our lives for a reason Bringing something we must learn And we are led To those who help us most to grow If we let them And we help them in return Well, I don't know if I believe that's true But I know I'm who I am today Because I knew you: Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you I have been changed for good ELPHABA It well may be That we will never meet again In this lifetime So let me say before we part So much of me Is made of what I learned from you You'll be with me Like a handprint on my heart And now whatever way our stories end I know you have re-written mine By being my friend: Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a skybird In a distant wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you: GLINDA Because I knew you: BOTHI have been changed for good

ELPHABA And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness For the things I've done you blame me for GLINDA But then, I guess we know There's blame to share BOTH And none of it seems to matter anymore GLINDA ELPHABA Like a comet pulled Like a ship blown From orbit as it Off it's mooring Passes a sun, like By a wind off the A stream that meets Sea, like a seed A boulder, half-way Dropped by a Through the wood Bird in the wood BOTH Who can say if I've been changed for the better? I do believe I have been changed for the better? GLINDA And because I knew you: ELPHABA Because I knew you: BOTH Because I knew you: I have been changed for good.

I'd Give My Life For You

[KIM] You who I craddled in my arms. You, Asking as little as you can. Little snip of a little man, I know I'd give my life for you. You didn't ask me to be born You, Why should you learn of war or pain? To be sure you're not hurt again, I swear I'd give my life for you. I've tasted love beyond all fear. And you should know it's love that brought you here. And in one perfect night, When the stars burned like new, I knew what I must do. I'll give you a million things I'll never own. I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown. You will be who you want to be. You Can choose whatever heaven grants. As long as you can have your chance, I swear I'd give my life for you. Sometimes I wake up, reaching for him. I feel his shadow brush my head, But there's just moonlight on my bed. Was he a ghost? Was he a lie, That made my body laugh and cry? Then by my side the proof I see, his little one. Gods of the sun, Bring him to me. You will be who you want to be. You Can choose whatever heaven grants. As long as you can have your chance, I swear I'd give my life for you.

No one can stop what I must do. I swear I'd give my life for you

Don t cry for me argentina

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange When I try to explain how I feel That I still need your love after all that I've done You won't believe me, all you will see is a girl you once knew Although she's dressed up to the nines At sixes and sevens with you I had to let it happen, I had to change Couldn't stay all my life down at heel Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun So I chose freedom, running around trying everything new But nothing impressed me at all I never expected it to Don't cry for me, Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise, don't keep your distance And as for fortune, and as for fame I never invited them in Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired They are illusions, they're not the solutions they promised to be The answer was here all the time I love you, and hope you love me Don't cry for me, Argentina Don't cry for me, Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise, don't keep your distance Have I said too much? There's nothing more I can think of to say to you. But all you have to do is look at me to know that every word is true.

Castle on a Cloud
[YOUNG COSETTE] There is a castle on a cloud, I like to go there in my sleep, Aren't any floors for me to sweep, Not in my castle on a cloud. There is a room that's full of toys, There are a hundred boys and girls, Nobody shouts or talks too loud, Not in my castle on a cloud. There is a lady all in white, Holds me and sings a lullaby, She's nice to see and she's soft to touch, She says "Cosette, I love you very much." I know a place where no one's lost, I know a place where no one cries, Crying at all is not allowed, Not in my castle on a cloud. Oh help! I think I hear them now, and I'm nowhere near finished sweeping and scrubbing and polishing the floor. Oh, it's her! It's Madame! [MME. THENARDIER] Now look who's here The little madam herself! Pretending once again she's been `so awfully good,' Better not let me catch you slacking Better not catch my eye! Ten rotten francs your mother sends me What is that going to buy? Now take that pail My little `Mademoiselle' And go and draw some water from the well! We should never have taken you in in the first place How stupid the things that we do! Like mother like daughter, the scum of the street. Eponine, come my dear, Eponine, let me see you You look very well in that new little blue hat There's some little girls who know how to behave And they know what to wear

And I'm saying thank heaven for that. Still there Cosette? Your tears will do you no good! I told you fetch some water from the well in the wood! [YOUNG COSETTE] Please do not send me out alone Not in the darkness on my own! [MME. THENARDIER] Enough of that, or I'll forget to be nice! You heard me ask for something, And I never ask twice!

A Little Fall of Rain

EPONINE Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius I don't feel any pain A little fall of rain Can hardly hurt me now You're here, that's all I need to know And you will keep me safe And you will keep me close And rain will make the flowers grow. MARIUS But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above, If I could heal your wounds with words of love. EPONINE Just hold me now, and let it be. Shelter me, comfort me MARIUS You would live a hundred years If I could show you how I won't desert you now... EPONINE The rain can't hurt me now This rain will wash away what's past And you will keep me safe And you will keep me close I'll sleep in your embrace at last.

The rain that brings you here Is Heaven-blessed! The skies begin to clear And I'm at rest A breath away from where you are I've come home from so far So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius I don't feel any pain A little fall of rain Can hardly hurt me now That's all I need to know And you will keep me safe And you will keep me close MARIUS(in counterpoint) Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine, You won't feel any pain A little fall of rain Can hardly hurt you now I'm here I will stay with you Till you are sleeping EPONINE And rain... MARIUS And rain... EPONINE Will make the flowers... MARIUS Will make the flowers... grow... (She dies. Marius kisses her, then lays her on the ground) ENJOLRAS She is the first to fall The first of us to fall upon this barricade MARIUS Her name was Eponine Her life was cold and dark, yet she was unafraid. COMBEFERRE

We fight here in her name PROUVAIRE She will not die in vain. LESGLES She will not be betrayed.

On my Own
And now I'm all alone again, Nowhere to go, no one to turn to. Did not want your money sir, Came out here cuz I was told to. And now the night is near, Now I can make believe he's here. Sometimes I walk alone at night When everybody else is sleeping. I think of him, and then I'm happy With the company I'm keeping. The city goes to bed, And I can live inside my head. On my own, Pretending he's beside me. All alone, I walk with him till morning. Without him, I feel his arms around me, And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me. In the rain, The pavement shines like silver. All the lights Are misty in the river. In the darkness, The trees are full of starlight, And all I see is him and me for ever and forever. And I know It's only in my mind, That I'm talking to myself And not to him. And although I know that he is blind, Still I say, There's a way for us.

I love him, But when the night is over, He is gone, The river's just a river. Without him, The world around me changes. The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers. I love him, But every day I'm learning, All my life, I've only been pretending! Without me, His world will go on turning, The world is full of happiness that I have never known! I love him... I love him... I love him... But only on my own...

I dreamed a dream
There was a time when men were kind, And their voices were soft, And their words inviting. There was a time when love was blind, And the world was a song, And the song was exciting. There was a time when it all went wrong... I dreamed a dream in time gone by, When hope was high and life, worth living. I dreamed that love would never die, I dreamed that God would be forgiving. Then I was young and unafraid, And dreams were made and used and wasted. There was no ransom to be paid, No song unsung, no wine, untasted. But the tigers come at night, With their voices soft as thunder, As they tear your hope apart, And they turn your dream to shame. He slept a summer by my side, He filled my days with endless wonder...

He took my childhood in his stride, But he was gone when autumn came! And still I dream he'll come to me, That we will live the years together, But there are dreams that cannot be, And there are storms we cannot weather! I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living, So different now from what it seemed... Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...

Phantom of the Opera

In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came ... that voice which calls to me and speaks my name ... And do I dream again? For now I find the Phantom of the Opera is there - inside my mind ... Sing once again with me our strange duet ... My power over you grows stronger yet ... And though you turn from me, to glance behind, the Phantom of the Opera is there - inside your mind ... Those who have seen your face draw back in fear ... I am the mask you wear ... It's me they hear ... Your/My spirit and my/your voice in one combined: the Phantom of the Opera is there - inside your/my mind ... He's there, the Phantom of the Opera ... Beware the Phantom of the Opera ... In all your fantasies, you always knew that man and mystery ...

... were both in you ... And in this labyrinth where night is blind, the Phantom of the Opera is there/here - inside your/my mind ... Sing, my Angel of Music! He's there the Phantom of the Opera ...

Think of me
Think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye. Remember me once in a while - please promise me you'll try. Andre, this is doing nothing for my nerves. Don't fret, Firmin. When you find that, once again, you long to take your heart back and be free - if you ever find a moment spare a thought for me ... We never said our love was evergreen, or as unchanging as the sea - but if you can still remember, stop and think of me ... Think of all the things we've shared and seen don't think about the things which might have been ... Think of me, think of me waking, silent and resigned. Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind. Recall those days, look back on all those times, think of the things we'll never do - there will never be a day, when I won't think of you ... Can it be? Can it be Christine? Bravo! What a change! You're really not a bit the gawkish girl that once you were ... She may not remember me, but I remember her ... We never said our love was evergreen,

or as unchanging as the sea - but please promise me, that sometimes, you will think of me

Angel of Music
Bravi, bravi, bravissimi ... Where in the world have you been hiding? Really, you were perfect! I only wish I knew your secret! Who is this new tutor! Father once spoke of an angel ... I used to dream he'd appear ... Now as I sing I can sense him ... And I know he's here ... Here in this room he calls me softly ... somewhere inside ... hiding... Somehow I know he's always with me ... he - the unseen genius ... Christine, you must have been dreaming ... stories like this can't come true ... Christine, you're talking in riddles ... and it's not like you ...Angel of Music! Guide and guardian! Grant to me your glory! Who is this angel? This ... Angel of Music! Hide no looger! Secret and strange angel ... He's with me even now ...Your hands are cold ... All around me ...Your face, Christine, it's white ... It frightens me Don't be frightened

Music of the Night

I have brought you to the seat of sweet music's throne ... to this kingdom where all must pay homage to music ...

music... You have come here, for one purpose, and one alone ... I first heard you sing, I have needed you with me, to serve me, to sing, for my music ... my music ... Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation ... Darkness stirs and wakes imagination ... Silently the senses abandon thier defences ... Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour ... Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender ... Turn your face away from the garish light of day, turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light and listen to the music of the night ... Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams! Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before! Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar! And you'll live as you've never lived before ... Softly, deftly, music shall surround you ... Feel it, hear it, closing in around you ... Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind, in this darkness which you know you cannot fight the darkness of the music of the night. Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world! Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before! Let your soul Take you where you long to be! Only then can you belong to me ... Floating, falling, sweet intoxication! Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation! Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in to the power of the music that I write - the power of the music of the night ... You alone can make my song take flight help me make the music of the night ...

Wishing you were somehow again

You were once my one companion You were all that mattered You were once a friend and father Then my world was shattered Wishing you were somehow here again Wishing you were somehow near Sometimes it seemed if I just dream Somehow you would be here Wishing I could hear your voice again Knowing that I never would Dreaming of you won't help me to do All that you dreamed I could Passing bells and sculpted angels Cold and monumental Seem for you the wrong companions You were warm and gentle Too many years Fighting back tears Why can't the past just die Wishing you were somehow here again Knowing we must say goodbye Try to forgive teach me to live Give me the strength to try No more memories no more silent tears No more gazing across the wasted years Help me say goodbye'.

Mirror
PHANTOM Insolent boy, this slave of fashion Basking in your glory. Ignorant fool, this brave young suiter Sharing in my triumph. CHRISTINE Angel I hear you, speak I listen Stay by my side, guide me. Angel my soul was weak, forgive me. Enter at last, master.

PHANTOM Flattering child you shall know me See why in shadow I hide. Look at your face in the mirror I am there inside!
