Paroles de 'Please, Miss Giry, I want to go back.' par Love Never Dies

GUSTAVE:
Please, Miss Giry,
I want to go back.
I want my mother.

MEG:
The world is hard,
The world is mean,
It's hard to keep your conscious clean.

GUSTAVE:
(Spoken)
Please! You're hurting me!

MEG:
(Singing)
The sea is calm,
The sea is gray,
It washes everything away.

GUSTAVE:
(Spoken)
I can't swim!

MEG:
Don't worry, it's almost over.
(Singing)
Sink into the deep,
Blue, and cool, and kind.
Then drift off to sleep.
Let the past unwind.
Leave the hurt behind.

CHRISTINE:
(Spoken)
Gustave!

GUSTAVE:
Mother!

MEG:
No, I'm not done yet!

THE PHANTOM:
Let go of the boy, now!

MEG:
(Singing)
Not another step!

THE PHANTOM:
(Spoken)
Let go of him, girl, or I promise-

MEG:
(Singing)
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 lead,
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 a beach.
Bathing beauty in her dressing room.
Bathing beauty in the dark,
On their laps,
In their arms!

MADAME GIRY:
Meg!

MEG:
In their beds!

MADAME GIRY:
(Spoken)
Meg! My little Meg!

THE PHANTOM:
What are you saying?

MEG:
(Singing)
Who helped you raise the money?
Who let 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?
Carried 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!

THE PHANTOM:
Give the gun, Meg.
Give me the hurt, and the pain, and the gun, Meg.
Give me the blame for not seeing the things you have done, Meg.
Give me the gun, Meg.
Give me the chance to see you clear at last.

MEG:
See me clear at last…

THE PHANTOM:
You feel ugly, you feel used.
You feel broken, you feel bruised.
Ah, but me
I can see
All the beauty underneath.

MEG:
(Spoken)
Yes.

THE PHANTOM:
(Singing)
You've been robbed of love and pride,
Been ignored and pushed aside,
Even so
I still know
There is beauty underneath.

MEG:
(Spoken)
Yes!

THE PHANTOM:
(Singing)
Diamonds never sparkle bright
If they aren't set just right.
Beauty sometimes goes unseen.
We can't all be like Christine.

MEG:
(Spoken)
Christine? Christine. Always Christine!

No! I didn't mean to!

GUSTAVE:
Mother, dear! Say something! Say anything!

THE PHANTOM:
Giry! Go get help! Go!

GUSTAVE:
Where's Papa? He should be here! Where's Papa?

CHRISTINE:
Your father, your real father…
(Singing)
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's not always beautiful,
Not at the start.

GUSTAVE:
So open your heart

CHRISTINE:
And close your eyes tight.

GUSTAVE:
Look with your heart

CHRISTINE:
And when you find love…

GUSTAVE:
No!

THE PHANTOM:
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?

CHRISTINE:
Just love,
Just live,
And give what you can give,
And take the love that you deserve.

THE PHANTOM AND CHRISTINE:
Just love,
Just live,
And give

THE PHANTOM:
All that I have,
And take what little I deserve.

CHRISTINE:
Come closer,
I beg you.
Closer, still.
Remember
Love never dies.
Kiss me one last time
