LAURIE
I know I have no right. But sometimes late at night. I watch you in the attic. Passing back and forth like a maniac. I’ve never met a girl like you- Anyone at all like you. This is very nice. Such a lovely party. The music sounds so thrilling. It makes a person feel like dancing…
We could do a hundred things, Do anything you please. We could fly on golden wings, Across the seven seas. I’ll bet you’ll get a camel through an needle, If you’ll take a chance on me…
We could catch a thousand stars, And stand them on a pin. We could leave from here to Mars, And make the planet spin. If you want to do all the things you’ve ever dreamed of- Come on! Take a chance on me…
We could be such friends, Friends are never lonely. All I know is books- Books are solitary. But I’d see you everyday, How you live in your own way, And you make me want to dare... To take a chance on you!
We could live a million dreams, But only if we dare… We could go to such extremes, There’s so much we could share! We’ll circle the world, Doing all we ever dreamed of! And we’ll live in our own way, And I’ll see you every day! We’ll be the best of friends, When you take a chance on me!

JULIA
Once upon a time, I would wake beside a man, Who would make me feel like nothing could take him from me Once I thought forever was real, I thought my life was ideal, I though that nothing could steal it, you see
Once I learned how wrong I had been, That sometimes dreams can cave in and what then? Once I learned the hard way, Faith in ever after was done, And I gave up ever wondering when, Love will come and find me again
And it's almost like time has stood still, Like a lifetime iced under a frost, And I don't try to warm from the chill, Although I know how much I've lost,
Trouble is, the more you deny, The more you don't even try, The more the world passes by in a haze, Soon you find you don't even know how many years you let go, The chances wasted in so many ways,
Lately I've been thinking it's time To take a look at what I'm doing then, clinging to if only, Heaven knows there's more than one man And maybe I should be planning for when, Love will come and find me again,
Letting go of what might have been, And letting something else in only then, Love will come and find me again.

DONNY
That’s me, to a T. You might as well have said, “Hey Donny, come get your prize.” I could write it in my sleep But the trick is the delivery And the difference that I have is I was there, made it through. And now my number one priority Is to put a band together that did too. Every horn and clarinet will be a Military vet, and he played with authority.
Donny Novitski, accordion genius, Plays weddings at seven-years-old. Then the piano, like fish take to water, By nine it’s Fats Waller down cold. Tunes of my own start to work themselves out, I’m a twelve-year-old Irving Berlin. All of that promise and none of the payoff, I’m still playing weddings and taking my day off From bumming around drinking gin.
They say cream rises but what if nobody tastes it? If that cream rises and spoils, it’s gonna be wasted.
But Donny Novitski could be Frank Sinatra, If someone would give him a break. In fact, I’d be better, cause I play piano And he can’t read music, the fake. Donny Novitski spent four years in battle, And I carry the scars when I croon. Frankie Sinatra skipped out on the army and Half the time sings out of tune, he is so flat.
They say cream rises, but what if nobody knew it? If that cream rises and rots, and somebody blew it.
Donny Novitski is finally looking At one little crack in the door. And get it to open and right there Behind it, is everything I’m working for. Picture Donny Novitski, the Polish-Italian, Crooning his tunes, smoking his stogies. Genuine vet of an army battalion, Thin-tailored suits, if I cut out pierogis.
Bobby Soxers swooned at my charms, Backed up by my brothers in arms. Donny Novitski knows this is a lifeline, A once in a millennium shot. And I’m gonna take it, take aim at my target, And hit it with all that I got. Donny Novitski has strong ammunition, Plenty of talent, and burning ambition. His songs are authentic as well, From living through four years of hell. Donny needs something to block out the memory And break this insomnious spell.
They say cream rises, but what if nobody tastes it? If that cream rises and spoils, it’s gonna be wasted.
So make it all worth it and give it a meaning, Going from Cleveland to Hollywood screening. Donny Novitski is gonna win first prize Donny Novitski is ready to rise!

GLEB
An underhanded girl An act of desperation And to my consternation I let her go... She wants what she can get- Is that a fair depiction? Does she believe her fiction? It's hard to know...
Is it innocence or guile? Or nothing but a childish act of will? She doesn't know she needs you She willfully misleads you But still....still...!
A son becomes a man! At his father's knee If my father asked questions Well...where would we be?
She's nothing but a child. A waif who needs protection I feel a strange connection- I can't allow!
She says it's all a game She trembles like a flower But in her, there's a power I see that now!
I am nothing but a man! With nothing but his orders To fulfill! "I'm innocent!" She cries! But then, you see her eyes And something in them tells you That she absolutely lies!
Until your heart replies.... "But, still...!" Still.... Still!

DOWAGER
These strangers, come calling Soon enough they're gone. The twilight is falling, lamps will soon go on And where did summer go I will never know summer used to last endlessly Children all in white, running down the sand To me To me.
These strangers, sent packing What do they expect. So grasping, So lacking Why not be direct. The beating of my heart, After they depart Lying wide awake, Through the night Will you ever come, Running home to me You might You might.
I've believed so long, I have dared to hope That the door might open, And that you might Enter.
Playing hide and seek. Kisses on my cheek. The lamps begin to glow, In my heart I know, You're a lie that I've waited for. Tell them all to go. Tell them all no more. Tell them I close the door.

HARKER
She made me give my promise, A terrifying promise, It’s not the kind of promise made every day. To desecrate a temple, To trample on a flower, To catch a butterfly and simply tear off its wings, It’s worse than all of these things.
To dim the sun before the summer ends, To burn the castle down, Before the princess is awake, To kill our love when it’s still so alive, I would not do it, My heart would break.
But I have given her my word And if the time should come, I will do what I must, How could I?
To dim the sun before the summer ends, To burn the castle down, Before the princess is awake, To kill our love when it’s still so alive, I’ll keep my word and, My heart will break. I’ll keep my word and, My heart will break.

ANYA
Look at the sky Look at the water Somebody's bridge Somebody's daughter Who could've known I'd be alone Crossing this bridge
Boats heading in Somebody calling Sun going down Shadows are falling Shimmering view Dangerous, too, Crossing a bridge
Halfway between Where I've been And where I'm going In between wondering why And finally knowing
Thousands of lights Shining below me Somebody waits Somebody, know me
Maybe we're sharing This beautiful night Me on the left bank You on the right Almost in sight... Crossing a bridge
Every light is like a promise Every light could be a clue One of them might be you

ANYA
They said I was found By the side of a road There were tracks all around It had recently snowed In the darkness and cold The wind in the trees A girl with no name And no memories, but these Rain against a window Sheets upon a bed Terrifying nurses Whispering overhead “Call the child Anya Give the child a hat” I don’t know a thing before that Traveling the back roads Sleeping in the wood Taking what I needed Working when I could Keeping up my courage As foolish as it seems At night all alone in my dreams In my dreams Shadows call There’s a light At the end of a hall Then my dreams Fade away But I know it all will come back One day I dream of a city Beyond all compare Is it Paris? Paris A beautiful river A bridge by a square And I hear a voice whisper “I’ll meet you right there In Paris” Paris You don’t know what it’s like Not to know who you are To have lived in the shadows And travel this far I’ve seen flashes of fire Heard the echos of screams But I still have this faith In the truth of my dreams In my dreams It’s all real And my heart has so much to reveal And my dreams Seem to say “Don’t be afraid to go on Don’t give up hope Come what may” I know it all will come back One day

EVAN
I've learned to slam on the brake Before I even turn the key Before I make the mistake Before I lead with the worst of me Give them no reason to stare No slipping up if you slip away So I've got nothing to share No, I got nothing to say
Step out, step out of the sun If you keep getting burned Step out, step out of the sun Because you've learned, because you've learned
On the outside always looking in Will I ever be more than I've always been? 'cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass I'm waving through a window I try to speak, but nobody can hear So I wait around for an answer to appear While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass I'm waving through a window Oh, can anybody see, is anybody waving Back at me?
We start with stars in our eyes We start believing that we belong But every sun doesn't rise And no one tells you where you went wrong
Step out, step out of the sun If you keep getting burned Step out, step out of the sun Because you've learned, because you've learned
On the outside always looking in Will I ever be more than I've always been? 'cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass Waving through a window I try to speak, but nobody can hear So I wait around for an answer to appear While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass Waving through a window Oh, can anybody see, is anybody waving?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound Did I even make a sound Did I even make a sound It's like I never made a sound Will I ever make a sound?
On the outside always looking in Will I ever be more than I've always been 'cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass Waving through a window I try to speak But nobody can hear So I wait around for an answer to appear While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass Waving through a window Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?
Is anybody waving Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

ADAM
Oh my Father, Lord and Creator You know that half my heart is yours All that you gave me I can't repay you If I betray you, I'll break in two How could I live in a world without you
But oh my life's partner, my wife my lover You know that half my heart is yours Each I see you, you fill my spirit Just knowing you're near, it makes the day new How could I live in a world without you
Oh Father please don't choose Either way it's more than I can bear to lose Either way it's ripping out my heart This choice is tearing me apart
Oh my garden, all peace and beauty I know that all my heart is yours I want to stay here, stay here forever Father forever, I cannot leave But Eve I don't know what else to do How can I live... I cannot live... I will not live.. In a world without You

ROBERT
A little twinge, A little shock, A little whisper at the bottom of your memory. A sudden wind, A gentle knock, And then a rustle in the leaves. You hold your breath, You check the lock, You reassure yourself that nothing’s at the window.
But you’re wondering. You’re wondering. You’re wondering what that was. Nothing’s gonna happen.
Nothing's gonna happen.
You turn a key, You flip a switch, You settle back into the blissful unfamiliar. You close your eyes, But there’s an itch, A little hurt your heart retrieves. But you ignore The tiny twitch, Pretend the feeling will be gone before the morning.
But you’re wondering. You’re wondering. You’re wondering where you are. Nothing’s gonna happen.
Nothing’s gonna happen.
But wouldn’t it be fine to share The weather in her eyes, her hair, Her footsteps as she climbs the stair, The shadow in her light?
But everything you know is true And everything you want to do And everything that makes you you Collides against the night. And nothing’s black and white.
And you’re wondering. You’re wondering. You’re wondering what to do. You’re wondering. You’re wondering.
You’re wondering if it’s true. Nothing’s gonna happen. Nothing has to happen.
