sirenssongI'd love to do something of "Defying Gravity" from Wicked, but there's no way for me to get the sheet music in time for tomorrow's practice.
How Could I Ever Know
LILY:
How could I know I would have to leave you?
How could I know I would hurt you so?
You were the one I was born to love!
Oh, how could I ever know?
How could I ever know?
How can I say to go on without me?
How, when I know you still need me so?
How can I say not to dream about me?
How could I ever know?
How could I ever know?
Forgive me.
Can you forgive me
And hold me in your heart,
And find some new way to love me
Now that we're apart?
How could I know I would never hold you?
Never again in this world, but oh,
Sure as you breathe, I am there inside you,
How could I ever know?
How could I ever know?
ARCHIBALD:
How can I hope to go on without you?
How can I know where you'd have me go?
How can I bear not to dream about you?
Oh, how can I let you go?
LILY:
How could I ever know?
ARCHIBALD:
All I need...
LILY:
Is there in the garden!
ARCHIBALD:
All I would ask...
LILY:
Is care for the child of our love!
Come, go with me, safe I will keep you.
ARCHIBALD:
Where you would lead me,
There I would,
LILY:
There I would, there we would,
ARCHIBALD and LILY:
There we will go.
Oh! How could I know?
Tell me how could I know?
Never to know you would ever leave me!
How could we know?
LILY:
How could I ever know?
SOMEONE LIKE YOU
LUCY:
I peer through windows,
Watch life go by,
Dream of tomorrow,
And wonder "why"?
The past is holding me,
Keeping life at bay,
I wander lost in yesterday,
Wanting to fly -
But scared to try.
But if someone like you
Found someone like me,
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same!
My heart would take wing,
And I'd feel so alive -
If someone like you
Found me!
So many secrets
I've longed to share!
All I have needed
Is someone there,
To help me see a world
I've never seen before -
A love to open every door,
To set me free,
So I can soar!
If someone like you
Found someone like me,
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same!
There'd be a new way to live,
A new life to love,
If someone like you
Found me!
Oh, if someone like you
Found someone like me,
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same!
My heart would take wing,
And I'd feel so alive -
If someone like you
Loved me...
Loved me...
Loved me!...
NO ONE IS ALONE
CINDERELLA:
Mother cannot guide you.
Now you're on your own.
Only me beside you.
Still, you're not alone.
No one is alone. Truly.
No one is alone.
Sometimes people leave you
Halfway through the wood.
Others may deceive you.
You decide what's good.
You decide alone.
But no one is alone.
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD:
I wish..
CINDERELLA:
I know.
Mother isn't here now.
BAKER:
Wrong things, right things.
CINDERELLA:
Who knows what she'd say?
BAKER:
Who can say what's true?
CINDERELLA:
Nothing's quite so clear now.
BAKER:
Do things, fight things,
CINDERELLA:
Feel you've lost your way?
BAKER:
You decide, but
BOTH:
You are not alone.
CINDERELLA:
Believe me,
No one is alone BAKER:
No one is alone.
Believe me.
Truly.
You move just a finger, You move just a finger,
Say the slightest word, Say the slightest word,
Something's bound to linger, Something's bound to linger,
Be heard. Be heard.
No one acts alone.
Careful.
No one is alone.
People make mistakes. People make mistakes.
Fathers,
Mothers,
People make mistakes, People make mistakes,
Holding to their own, Holding to their own,
Thinking they're alone. Thinking they're alone.
Honor their mistakes--
Everybody makes-- Fight for they're mistakes--
BOTH:
One another's terrible mistakes.
Witches can be right, giants can be good.
You decide what's right, you decide what's good.
CINDERELLA: BAKER:
Just remember: [echo] Just remember:
BOTH:
Someone is on your side.
JACK, LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD:
OUR side.
BAKER, CINDERELLA:
Our side--
Someone else is not.
While we're seeing our side--
JACK, LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD:
Our side..
BAKER, CINDERELLA:
Our side--
ALL:
Maybe we forgot: they are not alone.
No one is alone.
CINDERELLA:
Hard to see the light now.
BAKER:
Just don't let it go.
BOTH:
Things will come out right now.
We can make it so.
Someone is on your side-- [interrupted]

I adore both of these, but...

Re: I adore both of these, but...
Date: 2004-11-12 08:17 pm (UTC)Unfortunately, I am doubting that I'll be able to practice any of the other songs with accompaniment (as I can't play the piano, and the rehearsal scheduled for today with my friend who CAN kind of fell through - she's having a bad day). Which means that it will be "Someone Like You" by default. ::sigh::
