Lyrics "Mother, Did You Watch?" - Andrew Lloyd Webber

"Mother, Did You Watch?"

MEG:
Mother, did you watch?
Everything is sold
Mother, can’t you tell the new routine
It went so well?
I was worried just a touch
That it might have been too much
Just a bit, well, rather, free
But just listen to that crowd
Why, they’ve never been so loud!
Screaming only for me
MADAME GIRY:
Meg…
MEG:
And the master must have heard
Every note and every word
Mother, tell me, did he see?
MADAME GIRY:
Meg, stop it
MEG:
Even he will now concede
I’m the only he’ll need —
Mother, what’s wrong?
MADAME GIRY:
Meg, sweet fool
You did all that you could
Charming, bright
And yet still not enough
MEG:
Wh-what do you mean?
MADAME GIRY:
How you danced
They’re all entranced
Yes, all but the one
Whose entrancement we sought
MEG:
He wasn’t there?
MADAME GIRY:
Where, poor girl
Do you think that he was?
Yes, that’s right
In with her all along
MEG:
With Christine?
MADAME GIRY:
Claiming of their son they love
Too smitten to spare you
One moment of thought
MEG:
But you said —
MADAME GIRY:
All that you gave him
It’s all been a waste
MEG:
You were wrong!
MADAME GIRY:
All that you’ve done
It has all been a waste
MEG:
Don’t say that!
MADAME GIRY:
Now he has them
As for us we have
Both been replaced
MEG:
No!
