| Please, Miss Giry
|
| I want to go back
|
| I want my mother
|
| The world is hard
|
| The world is mean
|
| It’s hard to keep
|
| Your conscience clean
|
| Please, you’re hurting me The sea is calm
|
| The sea is gray
|
| It washes
|
| Everything away
|
| I can’t swim
|
| Don’t worry, it’s almost over
|
| Sink into the deep
|
| Blue and cool and kind
|
| Then drift off to sleep
|
| Let the past unwind
|
| Leave the hurt behind
|
| Gustave
|
| Mother
|
| No, I’m not done yet
|
| Let go of the boy now
|
| Not another step
|
| Let go of him, girl, or I promise you
|
| Not another word
|
| Always wondered
|
| How to make you watch
|
| Well, watch me now
|
| I took a little trip to Coney Island
|
| I took a little trip because of you
|
| I did as Mother said and followed where you led
|
| And tried to do what little I could do Well, here’s the way it works on Coney Island
|
| They make you pay for every little crumb
|
| I gave what they would take, I gave it for your sake
|
| Now look at me and see what I’ve become
|
| Bathing beauty on the beach
|
| Bathing beauty in her dressing room
|
| Bathing beauty in the dark
|
| On their laps, in their arms, in their beds
|
| Meg, my little Meg
|
| What are you saying?
|
| Who helped you raise the money?
|
| Who helped the permits come through?
|
| Who greased the wheels of your high flying deals
|
| Bought you time when the bills came due?
|
| Who swayed the local bosses
|
| Curried favor with the press?
|
| No, not her
|
| And who kept singing, desperate for your favor
|
| Who kept dancing, hoping you would save her
|
| Who kept dying and this is what you gave her
|
| Now that I’ve got your attention at last
|
| Here’s the big finish and then you can go Give me the gun, Meg
|
| Give me the hurt and the pain and the gun, Meg
|
| Give me the blame for not seeing the things
|
| That you’ve done, Meg
|
| Give me the gun, Meg
|
| Give me the chance to see you clear at last
|
| See me clear at last
|
| You feel ugly, you feel used
|
| You feel broken, you feel bruised
|
| Ah, but me, I can see all the beauty underneath
|
| Yes
|
| You’ve been robbed of love and pride
|
| Been ignored and pushed aside
|
| Even so, I still know there is beauty underneath
|
| Yes
|
| Diamonds never sparkle right
|
| If they aren’t set just right
|
| Beauty sometimes goes unseen
|
| We can’t all be like Christine
|
| Christine, Christine
|
| Always Christine
|
| No, I didn’t mean to Mother, there, say something
|
| Say anything
|
| Giry, go get help, now
|
| Where’s Papa?
|
| He should be here
|
| Where’s Papa?
|
| Your father, your real father
|
| Look with your heart and not with your eyes
|
| The heart understands, the heart never lies
|
| Believe what it feels and trust what it shows
|
| Look with your heart, the heart always knows
|
| Love is not always beautiful
|
| Not at the start
|
| So open your arms
|
| And close your eyes tight
|
| Look with your heart
|
| And when you find love
|
| No Once upon another time, our story had only begun
|
| I had a taste of joy, the most I ever knew
|
| Now there isn’t any time and somehow our story is done
|
| And what about the boy, what am I to do?
|
| Just love, just live
|
| And give what we can give
|
| And take the love that you deserve
|
| Just love, just live
|
| And give all that I have
|
| And take what little I deserve
|
| Come closer, I beg you
|
| Closer still
|
| Remember love never dies
|
| Kiss me one last time |
