I KNOW I HAVE A HEART from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical CINDERELLA.
Piano Accompaniment in E Major.
Turn on CC/Subtitles for Karaoke lyrics.

There is a four count arpeggio as an intro (this doesn't appear in the song but I couldn't find a better way to signal the singer of the entrance).

I Know I Have A Heart is a song from the new musical version of Cinderella. The song was written by Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by David Zippel. The song was originally sung by Carrie Hope Fletcher. If you want to listen to Carrie's version here's the link : youtube.com/watch?v=xByRLcqynNg

Lyrics :

Thought I was too smart for this
Not a sucker for a kiss
Turned my back to the wall
I was protected
I was so not naive
With no heart on my sleeve
Always walked out before
I was rejected

Fairytales are not to be believed
I blame myself if I have been deceived

I was fine on my own
Made of steel, hard as stone
I know I have a heart because you broke it
I was so unaware
That I could fall so hard
But what good is a heart
If you don't care?

Like a damsel in distress
In a torn party dress
Someone I never met
I was pretending
Should have known all along
That I need to be strong
For a girl who's like me
There's no happy ending

I was not a hard one to convince
Girls like me don't end up with a prince

Found out love is a hoax
One of life's little jokes
I know I have a heart because you broke it
And it's shattered and bruised
And now the laugh's on me
Anyone want a heart that's barely used?

Fairytales are not to be believed
I blame myself if I have been deceived

I was fine on my own
Made of steel, hard as stone
I know I have heart a because you broke it
I was so unaware
That I could feel so bad
But what good is a heart
If you're not there?
Now I won't need a heart
'Cause I don't care

The Accompanist has created a collection of Piano Accompaniments of Musical Theatre and Popular music songs.

These Broadway and West End accompaniments have been specifically performed to match the tempos of the original (cast) recordings where possible. These karaoke style tracks have been created to give the audition performer the sound of what is likely within an audition environment where often we are not faced with a full orchestra but simply a pianist. Therefore the songs can sound very different to the fully orchestrated version.

The tracks are designed to be used either in performance or as practice for auditions. You are more than welcome to use the track to create your own YouTube cover of the song. If you could put a link back to this video in your description that would be amazing of you. I'm creating a playlist on my channel page of covers using The Accompanist's tracks so let me know if you do a cover using it and I'll add it to this channel's covers playlist.

If you feel the urge to donate to the channel it really helps with being able to keep the channel and project alive as it takes time, as you can understand, to produce these piano accompaniments. If you wish to donate through Paypal at paypal.me/timjspencer72
