leider passt net alles davon, aber ein paar textstellen zumindest:

April, nachdem sie vor sich selbst zugegeben hat, dass sie sich in Charlie verliebt hat, aber auch glaubt, dass sie keine Zukunft haben:

Look at me a woman, calm and in control
No silly girl who's head's always turning
Nobody would guess that deep inside my soul
A brand new flame is burning

April und Charlie im Hinterzimmer im Saloon bei dieser Szene, als sie sich geschworen haben sich von nichts und niemandem aufhalten zu lassen:

And together we'd make the whole world move in sympathy

Nachdem Charlie über Aprils Vergangenheit Bescheid wusste und trotzdem zu ihr gehalten hat:

Only he can make my burden light
Only he can make a wrong seem right
Only he can make the shadows bright
And make the darkness gleaming white

Nachdem April Charlie „zu seinem eigenen Besten“ gesagt hat sie würde seine Gefühle nicht erwidern:

Him and me we'd be sublime
Does he know or will he never guess
That next time I'm gonna answer yes
Does he know if I’d go back today (im Original: Does he know if he comes back today)
This time I’d smile and stay (im Original: This time I'm gonna make him stay)

Hier hab ich noch April’s Gedanken bei ihrer früheren ‚Arbeit’...

they are not nice, they're mostly noise
they swear like men, they screw like boys
I know there's nothing in their hearts
but every time I take one in my arms
it starts:

the movie in my mind
the dream they leave behind
a scene I can't erase
and in a strong embrace
flee this life
flee this place

the movie plays and plays
the screen before me fills
it takes me back home [Original: to New York]
it gives me dollar bills
[…]
and life is like a dream

dream
the dream I long to find
the movie in my mind

I will not cry, I will not think
I'll do my dance, I'll make them drink
when I make love, it won't be me
and if they hurt me, I'll just close my eyes

and see they are not nice, they're mostly noise
the movie in my mind…
they kill like men, they die like boys
the dream that fills my head
they give their cash, they keep their hearts
[…] every night again it starts

a man who’ll not kill
who'll fight for me instead
he'll keep me safe all day
so no one comes at night
to blow the dream away

dream
the dream I have to find
the movie in my mind

and in a strong embrace
flee this life
flee this place

a world that's far away
where life is not unkind
the movie in my mind

(Miss Saigon, The Movie In My Mind)

April und Charlie nach dem Tanztee, als sie alles um sich herum, inklusive der aufräumenden Nähzirkel-Damen, vergessen und miteinander getanzt haben:

In a place that won't let us feel
In a life where nothing seems real
I have found you
I have found you

In a world that's moving too fast
In a world where nothing can last
I will hold you
I will hold you

Our lives will change, when tomorrow comes
[…]

And we have music all right
Tearing the night
A song
Played on a solo saxophone
A crazy sound
A lonely sound

A cry that tells us love goes on and on
Played on a solo saxophone
It's telling me
To hold you tight
And dance like it's the last night of the world

[…]

If we're together that's when
We'll hear it again
A song
Played on a solo saxophone
A crazy sound
A lonely sound
A cry that tells us love goes on and on
Played on a solo saxophone
It's telling me
To hold you tight
And dance like it's the last night of the world

(April)
Dreams
Were all I ever knew

(Charlie)
Dreams
You won't need when I'm with you (Original: through)

[…]

…Played on a solo saxophone
So stay with me
And hold me tight
And dance
Like it's the last night of the world

(Miss Saigon, The Last Night Of The World)

Charlie, nachdem April den Alptraum über ihren Mann und ihre Vergangenheit hatte

Last night I watched you sleeping
Once more, the nightmare came
I heard you cry out something
A word that sounded like... a name
And it hurts me more than I can bear
Knowing part of you I'll never share
Never know
But still
I still believe
The time will come
When nothing keeps us apart
My heart, forever more
Holds still

It's all over, I' m here
There is nothing to fear
April, what' s haunting you? [Original: Chris]
Won' t you let me inside
What you so want to hide!
I need you too!

I will hold you all night, I will make it all right
You are safe with me
And I wish you could tell what you don't want to tell
What your hell must be
You can sleep now
You can cry now
I'm with you now [Original: I’m your wife now]
For life
Until we die

(Miss Saigon, I Still Believe)

April’s Gefühle als sie den Bürgermeister von Little Rock erstochen hat:

the earth moves where I stand
I feel the turning of a wheel
I feel nothing in my hand
not even the feel of steel
you will not hurt me! (Original: you will not take my child...)

Jason für Serena, am Anfang.

All alone, you think you're on your own
You think there's no one in the world who cares for you
That isn't true, there's me
I may not be the one you want to see
But if you need someone who's kind
Then look behind, and then you'll find, there's me
I'll be near, standing by, never fear, you can cry
In a while, you will smile, and I'll be there to see
By yourself, you have to cry yourself
Nobody else can cry the tears you have to cry
But I will try, there's me
Until then, when you're okay again
You look around, find I'm no longer there
I'll still be near somewhere, you're not alone
There's me, there's always me
I'll still be near somewhere, you're not alone
There's me, there's always me

(Starlight Express, All Alone)

Für Stacy *evil* Mittlerweile passt es auch auf Pierre *ggg*

I'm honored, I'm flattered,
This greeting really mattered.
This welcome is grand
But I'm really concerned.

I like your attention
But this I have to mention
You're playing with fire
And up to get burned!

There's a girl in Tennessee
Who's sorry she met up with me
I can't go back to Tennessee,
I'm a bad, bad man!

There's a girl in Omaha,
But I ran faster than her Pa,
I can't go back to Omaha

There's a girl in Wyoming,
And they're combing Wyoming
To find a man in white
Who was out with her that night!

There's a girl in Arkansas,
The Sheriff is her brother-in-law,
I can't go back to Arkansas,
I'm a bad, bad man!

I'm enlightened, but frightened.
Though my int'rest you've heightened.
It might turn out to be
That too much, too much for me!

For years I have yearned to play towns I could return to
And "this may be it" from the way that you speak
I'm glad you're not frightened, the atmosphere has brightened
And now let's make plans for a wonderful week

Monday when my work is done
I'll teach you how to shoot a gun
You may find it lots of fun
With a bad, bad man

Tuesday there's no matinee
But I'll be in my tent all day
You can come around and play
With a bad, bad man

Send your mothers on Wednesday because Wednesday's old hens' day
But Thursday is sublime, I'll have lots of open time

Friday night will be the test
If Saturday you're still my guest
Sunday you can come and rest
With a bad, bad man

(Annie Get Your Gun, Bad Bad Man)

April nach dem abgelehnten Heiratsantrag von Charlie

I don't expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it, wouldn't you?

So what happens now?
Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
Take my picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
I'll get by, I always have before [You’ll…]
Where am I going to?

Time and time again I've said that I don't care
That I'm immune to this, that I'm hard through and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me, and they do

Call in three months time and I'll be fine, I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow
I won't recall the names and places of each sad occasion
But that's no consolation here and now

So what happens now?
Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
Take my picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
I'll get by, I always have before [You’ll…]
Where am I going to?

(Evita, Another Suitcase In Another Hall)

April nach dem abgelehnten Heiratsantrag

Long ago
In someone else's lifetime
Someone with my name
Who looked a lot like me
Came to know
A man and made a promise
He only had to say
And that's where she would be
Together… against the rest of the world
Lately
Although the feelings run just as deep
The promise she made has grown impossible to keep
And yet I wish it wasn't so
Will he miss me if I go?

In a way
It's someone else's story
I don't see myself
As taking part at all
Yesterday
A girl that I was fond of
Finally could see
The writing on the wall
Sadly
She realized she'd to leave him behind
And sadder than that she knew doing so would kill her [he wouldn't even mind]
And though there's nothing left to say
Would I listen if he’d ask me to stay?

It's all very well to say you fool it's now or never
I could be choosing
No choices whatsoever.

I could be
In someone else's story
In someone else's life
[…]
I could take my chances
And marry him right now [further down the line]
And if
That girl I knew should ask my advice
Oh I wouldn't hesitate she needn't ask me twice
Go now! Marry him!
I'd tell her that for free
Trouble is, the girl is me
The story is, the girl is me…

(Chess, Someone Elses Story)
