I close my eyes
Drew back the curtain
To see for certain
What I thought I knew

Far, far away
Someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do

I wore my coat
With golden lining
Bright colors shining
Wonderful and new

And in the east
The dawn was breaking
And the world was waking
Any dream will do

A crash of drums
A flash of light
My golden coat
Flew out of sight
Colors faded into darkness
I was left alone

May I return
To the beginning
The light is dimming
And the dream is too

The world and I
We are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do

Any dream will
Any dream will
Any dream will do

Give me my colored coat
My amazing colored coat
Give me my colored coat
My amazing colored coat

Close every door to me, hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows and shut out the light
Do what you want with me, hate me and laugh at me
Darken my daytime and torture my night

If my life were important I would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world
Close every door to me, keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For I know I shall find my own peace of mind
For I have been promised a land of my own

Just give me a number instead of my name
Forget all about me and let me decay
I do not matter, I'm only one person
Destroy me completely then throw me away

If my life were important I would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world
Close every door to me, keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For we know we shall find our own peace of mind
For we have been promised a land of our own

Heaven On Their Minds

# JUDAS :

My mind is clearer now.
At last all too well I can see where we all soon will be.
If you strip away the myth from the man,
You will see where we all soon will be.

Jesus!
You've started to believe
The things they say of you.
You really do believe
This talk of God is true.
All all the good you've done
Will soon get swept away.
You've begun to matter more than the things you say.

Listen Jesus I don't like what I see.
All I ask is that you listen to me.
And remember, I've been your right hand man all along.
You have set them all on fire.
They think they've found the new Messiah,
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong.

I remember when this whole thing began.
No talk of God then, we called you a man.
And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died.
But every word you say today
Get's twisted 'round some other way.
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied.

Nazareth, your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood
He'd have made good.
Tables, chairs, and oaken chest would have suited Jesus best.
He'd have caused nobody harm, no-one alarm.

Listen Jesus, do you care for your race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied; have you forgotten how put down we are?
I am frightened by the crowd.
For we are getting much too loud.
And they'll crush us if we go too far.

Listen Jesus, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want us to live.
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour.
All your followers are blind.
Too much heaven on their minds.
It was beautiful but now it's sour.
Yes it's all gone sour......

- Everything's Alright -

# MARY MAGDALENE ;
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.
Don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine,
And we want you to sleep well tonight.
Let the world turn without you tonight.
If we try, we'll get by, so forget all about us tonight.

# APOSTLES' WIVES ;
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.

# MARY MAGDALENE ;
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you, and anoint you...
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh.
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
And it's cool, and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet.
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax, think of nothing tonight.

# APOSTLES' WIVES ;
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.

# JUDAS ;
Woman your fine ointment, brand new and expensive
Could have been saved for the poor.
Why has it been wasted? We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more.
People who are hungry, people who are starving
They matter more than your feet and hair.

# MARY MAGDALENE ;
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.
Don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine,
And we want you to sleep well tonight.
Let the world turn without you tonight.
If we try, we?l get by, so forget all about us tonight.

# APOSTLES' WIVES ;
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.

# JESUS ;
Surely you're not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always, pathetically struggling
Look at the good things you've got.
Think while you still have me!
Move while you still see me!
You'll be lost, you'll be so sorry when I'm gone.

# MARY MAGDALENE ;
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you...
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh.
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet.
Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax....

# APOSTLES' WIVES ;
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes......

I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup away from me
For I don't want to taste its poison
Feel it burn me,
I have changed
I'm not as sure
As when we started

Then, I was inspired
Now I'm sad and tired
Listen, surely I've exceeded expectations
I Tried for three years, seems like thirty
Could you ask as much from any other man?

But if I die
See the saga through and do the things you ask of me
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree
I'd want to know
I'd want to know my God
I'd want to know
I'd want to know my God
I'd want to see
I'd want to see my God
I'd want to see
I'd want to see my God

Why I should die
Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?
Would the things I've said and done matter any more?
I'd have to know
I'd have to know my Lord
I'd have to know
I'd have to know my Lord
I'd have to see
I'd have to see my Lord
I'd have to see
I'd have to see my Lord

If I die what will be my reward?
If I die what will be my reward?
I'd have to know
I'd have to know my Lord
I'd have to know
I'd have to know my Lord

Why should I die?
Oh why should I die?
Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain?
Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die?
You're far too keen on where and how but not so hot on why
Alright I'll die!
Just watch me, just watch me die!
See how, see how I die!
Oh, just watch me die!

Then I was inspired
Now I'm sad and tired
After all I've tried for three years, seems like ninety
Why then am I scared to finish what I started?
What you started? -- I didn't start it
God thy will is hard
But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison,
Nail me to your cross and break me
Bleed me, beat me, kill me
Take me now
Before I change my mind
Now, before I change my mind

I don't know how to love him,
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed, yes, really changed.
In these past few days when I've seen myself
I seem like someone else.

I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me.
He's a man, he's just a man.
And I've had so many men before
In very many ways:
He's just one more

Should I bring him down? Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love - let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this - what's it all about?

Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position?
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so.

I never thought I'd come to this - what's it all about

Yet, if he said he loved me
I'd be lost, I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head, I'd back away,
I wouldn't want to know -
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.

Everytime I look at you I don't understand
Why you let the things you did get so out of hand
You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned
Now why'd you choose such a backward
time and such a strange land?

If you'd come today you would
have reached a whole nation
Israel in 4 B.C had no mass communication

Dont' you get me wrong 
(don't you get me wrong)
Dont' you get me wrong now 
(don't you get me wrong)
I only wanna know - (only wanna know now)
Only wanna know - (I only wanna know)

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you what have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you what have you sacrificed?

Jesus Christ superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Jesus Christ superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?

Tell me what you think
about your friends at the top
Now whd'd you think besides
yourself's the pick of the crop?
Buddha was he where it's at -
is he where you are?

Could Mohammed move a
mountain or was that just P.R?
Did you mean to die like that -
was that a mistake or
Did you know your messy death
would be a record breaker?

Dont' you get me wrong
(don't you get me wrong)
Dont' you get me wrong now 
(don't you get me wrong)
I only wanna know - (only wanna know now)
Only wanna know - (I only wanna know) 

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you what have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you what have you sacrificed?

Jesus Christ superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Jesus Christ superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are? - 

- Could We Start Again Please? -

# MARY MAGDALENE ;
I've been living to see you.
Dying to see you, but it shouldn't be like this.
This was unexpected. What do I do now?
Could we start again please?

I've been very hopeful so far.
Now for the first time I think we're going wrong.
Hurry up and tell me this is just a dream.
Could we start again please?

# PETER ;
I think you've made your point now.

# MARY MAGDALENE AND PETER ;
You've even gone a bit too far to get the message home.

# PETER ;
Before it gets too frightening, we ought to call a halt.
So could we start again please?

# MARY MAGDALENE ;
Could we start again, please?

# PETER ;
I've been living to see you.
Dying to see you, but it shouldn't be like this.
This was unexpected. What do I do now?
Could we start again please?

# MARY MAGDALENE ;

# PETER ;
I think you've made your point now.

# CHORUS ;
You've even gone a bit too far to get the message home.
Before it gets too frightening, we ought to call a halt.
So could we start again please?

# MARY MAGDALENE ;
Could we start again, please?

# CHORUS ;
I've been living to see you.
Dying to see you, but it shouldn't be like this.

Could we start again, please?

# CHORUS ;
Could we start again, please?

# ALL ;
Could we start again?

I don't expect my love affairs to last for long.
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true.
Being used to trouble, I anticipate it,
But all the same, I hate it...
Wouldn't you?

So what happens now?
(Another suitcase in another hall)
So what happens now?
(Take your picture off another wall)
Where am I going to?
(You'll get by, you always have before)
Where am I going to?

Time and time again I said that I don't care.
That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through.
But every time it matters all my words desert me,
So anyone can hurt me, and they do.

So what happens now?
(Another suitcase in another hall)
So what happens now?
(Take your picture off another wall)
Where am I going to?
(You'll get by, you always have before)
Where am I going to?

Call in three months time and I'll be fine, I know.
Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow.
I won't recall the names and faces of each sad occasion,
But that's no consilation here and now.

So what happens now?
(Another suitcase in another hall)
So what happens now?
(Take your picture off another wall)
Where am I going to?
(You'll get by, you always have before)
Where am I going to?
(Don't ask anymore)

Eva:
What's new, Buenos Aires
I'm new!
I wanna say I'm just a little stuck on you
You'll be on me too

I get out here, Buenos Aires
Stand back!
You oughta know what you're gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality

Fill me up with your heat, with your noise, with your dirt, overdo me
Let me dance to your beat, make it loud, let it hurt running through me
Don't hold back, you a certain to impress
Tell the driver this is where I'm staying

Hello, Buenos Aires
Get this!
Just look at me, dressed up, somewhere to go
We'll put on a show

Take me in at your flood, give me speed, give my light, set me humming
Shoot me up with your blood, wine me up with your nights, watch me coming
All I want is a whole lot of excess
Tell the singer this is where I'm playing

Stand back, Buenos Aires
Because!
You oughta know what you're gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality

And if ever I go to far
It's because of the things you are
beautiful town, I love you
And if I need a moment's rest
Give your lover the very best
Real eiderdown and silence

You're a tramp, you're a treat, you will shine to the death, you are shoddy
But you're flesh, you are meat, you shall have every breath in my body
Put me down for a lifetime of success
Give me credit, I'll find ways of paying

Rio de la Plata!
Florida, Corrientes, Nueve de Julio
All I want to know

Stand back, Buenos Aires
Because!
You oughta know what you're gonna get in me
Just a little touch of...
Just a little touch of...
Just a little touch of star quality

Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory, All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every streetlamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
And soon
It will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in.
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning...

Optional verse:
Sunlight through the trees in summer,
endless masquerading...
Like a flower, as the day is breaking,
The memory is fading...

Touch me,
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun...
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun.

I have never felt like this
For once I'm lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me.
This is not like me at all
I never thought I'd know
The kind of love you've shown me.

Now, no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing

I don't know what's going on
Can't work it out at all
Whatever made you choose me?
I just can't believe my eyes
You look at me as though
You couldn't bare to lose me.

Now, no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing

I have never felt like this
For once I'm lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me.
This is not like me at all
I never thought I'd know
The kind of love you've shown me.

Now no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing!

I'm just the fastest thing you'll ever see
That streak of lightning you just missed was me
Don't stop now,
You gotta keep it going all night
Rolling Stock
Rolling Stock

You got no lovers if you got no wheels
Come on and heat me up the way you do
And I can keep it going longer than you
Don't stop now, you gotta keep it going all night

Don't try to show you can go faster than me
This is my back view and it's all you'll see
Don't stop now, you gotta keep it going all night
Rolling stock
We're rolling stock
Rolling stock
We're rolling stock

So get the motion in your wheels somehow
The racing action's starting here and now
Don't stop now, you gotta keep it going all night
Deep down inside you know that I am the best
So come on baby, put me to the test
Don't stop now, you gotta keep it going all night
Rolling stock
We're rolling stock
Rolling stock
We're rolling stock
Rolling stock
We're rolling stock

RUSTY
When you good nights have been said
And you are lying in bed
With the covers pulled up tight
And though you count every sheep
You get the feeling that sleep
Is going to stay away tonight.

That's when you hear it coming
That is when you hear the humming of the
Starlight Express, Starlight Express,
Are you real, yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me yes.
I don't want you to go.

Want you to take me away
But bring me home before daylight
And in the time between
Take me to everywhere
But don't abandon me there
Just want to say I've been.

I believe in you completely
Though I may be dreaming sweetly of the
Starlight Express, answer me yes.
I don't want you to go.

And if you're there
And if you know
Then show me which way
I should go.

Starlight Express, Starlight Express,
Are you real, yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me yes.
I don't want you to go.

All alone, you think you're on your own,
You think there's no one in the world who cares for you,
That isn't true, there's me.

I many not be the one you want to see,
but if you need someone who's kind then look behind,
And there you'll find, there's me.

I'll be near, standing by, never fear, you can cry,
In a while, you will smile, and I'll be there to see.

By yourself, you have to cry yourself,
Nobody else can cry the tears you have to cry,
But I will try, there's me.

Until then, when you're OK again,
You look around and I'm no longer there.
I'll still be here somewhere,
you're not alone, there's me, there's always me.

I'll still be here somewhere,
you're not alone, there's me, there's always me.

Brava, brava, bravissima...

MEG:
Christine, Christine...
(Phantom: Christine...)

Where in the world
have you been hiding?
Really, you were perfect!

I only wish
I knew your secret!
Who is your great tutor?

CHRISTINE:
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

MEG:
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!

CHRISTINE:
Angel of Music!
Guide and guardian!
Grant to me your glory!

MEG(to herself):
Who is this angel? This...

BOTH:
Angel of Music!
Hide no longer!
Secret and strange angel

CHRISTINE:
He's with me, even now...

MEG:
Your hands are cold...

CHRISTINE:
All around me...

MEG:
Your face, Christine, it's white...

CHRISTINE:
It frightens me...

MEG:
Don't be frightened...

M'sieur Firmin?


Dear Andr,
what a splendid party!

The prologue
to a bright new year!

Quite a night!
I'm impressed!

Well, one does
one's best...

Here's to us!

I must say,
all the same, that
it's a shame that 'Phantom'
fellow isn't here!

Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade...
Masquerade!
Hide your face,
so the world will
never find you!

Masquerade!
Every face a different shade...
Masquerade!
Look around -
there's another
mask behind you!

Flash of mauve...
Splash of puce...
Fool and king...
Ghoul and goose...
Green and black...
Queen and priest...
Trace of rouge...
Face of beast...

Faces...
Take your turn, take a ride
on the merry-go-round...

in an inhuman race...



Eye of gold...
Thigh of blue...
True is false...
Who is who...?
Curl of lip...
Swirl of gown...
Ace of hearts...
Face of clown...

Faces...
Drink it in, drink it up,
till you've drowned
in the light...
in the sound...

But who can name the face...

ALL
Masquerade!
Grinning yellows,
spinning reds...
Masquerade!
Take your fill -
let the spectacle
astound you!

Masquerade!
Burning glances,
turning heads...
Masquerade!
Stop and stare
at

RAOUL
No more talk of darkness,
forget these wide-eyed fears;
I'm here, nothing can harm you,
my words will warm and calm you.

Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you.

CHRISTINE
Say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that's all I ask of you.

RAOUL
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light;
you're safe, no one will find you,
your fears are far behind you.

CHRISTINE
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night;
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me.

RAOUL
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
let me lead you from your solitude.
Say you need me with you, here beside you,
anywhere you go, let me go too,
Christine, that's all I ask of you

CHRISTINE
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
say the word and I will follow you.

TOGETHER
Share each day with me,
each night, each morning.

CHRISTINE
Say you love me!
RAOUL
You know I do.

RAOUL &
CHRISTINE
Love me, that's all I ask of you.
(they kiss)

RAOUL &
CHRISTINE
Anywhere you go, let me go too.
Love me, that's all I ask of you.

CHRISTINE
I must go-
They'll wonder where I am
Wait fo me Raoul!

RAOUL
Christine I love you!

CHRISTINE
Order your fine horses!
Be with them at the door!

RAOUL
And soon you'll be beside me!

CHRISTINE
You'll guard me and you'll guide me
(they hurry off and the phantom emerges from behind the statue)

CHRISTINE
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

PHANTOM
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

CHRISTINE
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear...

PHANTOM
...It's me they hear

CHRISTINE & PHANTOM
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

PHANTOM
In all your fantasies,
You always knew
That man and mystery...

CHRISTINE
...were both in you

CHRISTINE & PHANTOM
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind,
The Phantom of the Opera is there/here
Inside your/my mind

PHANTOM
Sing, my Angel of Music!

CHRISTINE
He's there the Phantom of the Opera

PHANTOM
Sing, sing for me.
Sing, my angel of music.
Sing for me!

Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes the imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences
Helpless to resist the notes I write,
For I compose the music of the night.

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing, music is deceiving
Hard as lightning, soft as candlelight
There you trust the music of the night

Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth
And the truth isn't what you want to see,
In the dark it is easy to pretend
That the truth is what it ought to be.

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you,
Hear it, feel it, secretly posess 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

Close your eyes start a journey through a strange, new world,
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before,
Close your eyes and let music set you free,
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.

Love, love changes everything
Hands and faces, earth and sky
Love, love changes everything
How you live and how you die

Love can make the summer fly
Or a night seem like a lifetime
Yes love, love changes everything
Now I tremble at your name
Nothing in the world will ever be the same

Love, love changes everything
Days are longer, words mean more
Love, love changes everything
Pain is deeper than before

Love will turn your world around
And that world will last for ever
Yes love, love changes everything
Brings you glory, brings you shame
Nothing in the world will ever be the same

Off into the world we go
Planning futures, shaping years
Love bursts in and suddenly
All our wisdom disappears

Love makes fools of everyone
All the rules we make are broken
Yes love, love changes everyone
Live or perish in its flame
Love will never, never let you be the same

Love will never, never let you be the same!

GEORGE:
I want to be
The first man you remember,
I want to be
The last man you forget.
I want to be
The one you always turn to,
I want to be
The one you won't regret.
May I be first
To say you look delightful?
May I be first
To dance you round the floor?
The very first
To see your face by moonlight?
The very first
To walk you to your door?

JENNY: (playing to George)
Well, young man, I'd be delighted!
There is nothing I would rather do!
What could be a sweeter memory
Than sharing my first dance with you?

GEORGE:
I want to be
The first man you remember...

JENNY:
The very first
To sweep me off my feet.

GEORGE:
I want to be
The one you always turn to...

JENNY:
The first to make
My young heart miss a beat.

(He gently takes her in a dance hold and they tentatively try a few steps around the terrace)

GEORGE:
Seems the stars are far below us...

JENNY:
The moon has never felt so close before...

(looking up at George)
Our first dance will be forever...

GEORGE:
And may it lead to many more!
I want to be
The first man you remember...

JENNY:
The very first
To sweep me off my feet.

GEORGE:
I want to be
The one you always turn to

JENNY:
The first to make
My young heart miss a beat.

(Once again they 'take to the floor', this time in a fuller, more formal dance. The atmosphere is dreamlike and beguiling, and Rose and Hugo are drawn into the dance. Alex declines Jenny's attempts to draw him into the dance as well. At the end of the sequence George leads Jenny back to his seat and the dance dissolves)

GEORGE:
I want to be
The one you always turn to
I want to be
The one you won't regret...

GEORGE AND JENNY:
The very first...
The very first...

Andrew Lloyd Webber
from _Aspects of Love_

Seeing is believing
And in my arms I see her
She's here, really here
Really mine now
She seems at home here
Seeing is believing
I dreamt that it would be her
At last life is full
Life is fine now
Whatever happens, one thing is certain
Each time I see a train go by
I'll think of us
The night, the sky, forever
Seeing is believing
My life is just beginning
I'm touched and my head won't stop spinning
>From winning her love

He's young, very young
But a feeling...
I feel I know him
Seeing is believing
And I like what I see
I like where I am
What I'm feeling
What are we doing?
Can you believe it?
A starving actress and a starstruck boy
Oh well, I might as well enjoy
The moment

She's warm, and she's wild
And appealing
I feel I know her

Seeing is believing
I never thought I'd be here
Is this really real
Or am I dreaming?
No way of knowing
Where this is leading
It's fun forgetting who we are
Who cares when now the world is far behind us?

Seeing is believing
My life is just beginning
We touched and my head won't stop spinning
>From winning your love

I dont know why I'm frightened
I know my way around here
The cardboard trees, the painted seas, the sound here
Yes, a world to rediscover,
But I'm not in any hurry,
And I need a moment.

The whispered conversations
In overcrowded hallways.
The atmosphere as thrilling here as always.
Feel the early morning madness,
Feel the magic in the making,
Why, everythings as if we never said goodbye.

I've spent so many mornings
Just trying to resist you.
I'm trembling now, you cant know how I've missed you.
Missed the fairy tale adventures
In this ever spinning playground.
We were young together.

I'm coming out of makeup,
The lights already burning.
Not long until the cameras will start turning.
And the early morning madness,
And the magic in the making,
Yes, everythings as if we never said goodbye.

I dont want to be alone,
That's all in the past.
This world's waited long enough,
I've come home at last.

And this time will be bigger
And brighter than we knew it.
So watch me fly, we all know I can do it.
Could I stop my hand from shaking,
Has there ever been a moment
With so much to live for?

The whispered conversations
In overcrowded hallways.
So much to say, not just today, but always.
We'll have early morning madness,
We'll have magic in the making,
Yes, everythings as if we never said goodbye.

Yes, everythings as if we never said goodbye,
We taught the world new ways to dream.

Sure I came out here to make my name
Wanted my pool, my dose of fame
Wanted my parking space at Warner's
But after a year, a one room hell
A murphy bed, a rancid smell
Wallpaper peeling at the corners

Sunset Boulevard, twisting boulevard
Secretive and rich, a little scary
Sunset Boulevard, tempting boulevard
Waiting there to swallow the unwary

Dreams are not enough to win a war
Out here they're always keeping score
Beneath the tan the battle rages
Smile a rented smile, fill someone's glass
Kiss someone's wife, kiss someone's ass
We do whatever pays the wages

Sunset Boulevard, headline boulevard
Getting here is only the beginning
Sunset Boulevard, jackpot boulevard
Once you've won you have to go on winning

You think I've sold out?
Dead right I've sold out!
I just keep waiting for the right offer
Comfortable quarters, regular rations
24-hour Five Star room service
And if I'm honest, I like the lady
I can't help being touched by her folly
I'm treading water, taking the money
Watching her sun set... Well, I'm a writer!

L.A.'s changed a lot over the years
Since those brave gold rush pioneers
Came in their creaky covered wagons
Far as they could go end of the line
Their dreams were yours, their dreams were mine
But in those dreams were hidden dragons

Sunset Boulevard, frenzied boulevard
Swamped with every kind of false emotion
Sunset Boulevard, brutal boulevard
Just like you, we'll wind up in the ocean

She was sinking fast, I threw a rope
Now I have suits and she has hope
It seemed an elegant solution
One day this must end, it isn't real
Still I'll enjoy a hearty meal
Before tomorrrow's execution

Sunset Boulevard, ruthless boulevard
Destination for the stony-hearted
Sunset Boulevard, lethal boulevard
Everyone's forgotten how they started
Here on Sunset Boulevard...!

They don't want me any more
They all say I'm through
Well, it's time they knew

With one look, I can break your heart
With one look, I play every part
I can make your sad heart sing
With one look you'll know, all you need to know

With one smile, I'm the girl next door
Or the love that you've hungered for
When I speak it's with my soul
I can play any role

No words can tell
The stories my eyes tell
Watch me when I frown
You can't write that down

You know, I'm right
It's there in black and white
When I look your way
You'll hear what I say

Yes, with one look, I put words to shame
Just one look sets the screen aflame
Silent music starts to play
One tear from my eye makes the whole world cry

With one look they'll forgive the past
They'll rejoice, I've returned at last
To my people in the dark
Still out there in the dark

Silent music starts to play
With one look you'll know, all you need to know

With one look, I'll ignite a blaze
I'll return to my glory days
They'll say
Norma's back at last

This time I'm staying
I'm staying for good, I'll be back
Where I was born to be
With one look, I'll be me

Whistle down the wind
Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scary

Howl at the stars
Whisper when you're sleeping
I'll be there to hold you
I'll be there to stop
The chills and all the weeping
Make it clear and strong
So the whole night long
Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I will not abandon you
My precious friend

So try and stem the tide
Then you'll raise a banner
Send a flare up in the sky
Try to burn a torch
And try to build a bonfire
Every signal that you send
Until the very end, I'm there
So whistle down the wind
For I have always been right there

Howl at the stars
Whisper when you're sleeping
I'll be there to hold you
I'll be there to stop
The chills and all the weeping
Make it clear and strong
So the whole night long
Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I will not abandon you
My precious friend

So whistle down the wind
Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scary
Every signal that you send
Until the very end, I'm there

So whistle down the wind
For I have always been right there
