Andrew Lloyd Webber - Dear Old Friends lyrics

MEG Heaven help me could it be No it couldn't possibly CHRISTINE Sorry do I... MEG Yes I think you do CHRISTINE Have we... MEG Go on take a guess CHRISTINE Wait it can't be is it... MEG Yes! CHRISTINE Oh my god I can't believe it's you MEG Look at you Christine Regal as a queen and beautiful CHRISTINE Meg and you as well I could hardly tell it's you BOTH My dear old friend Can't believe your here, old friend CHRISTINE After all this time MEG Christine you came You look sublime CHRISTINE You look the same BOTH My sweet old friend Never thought we'd meet, old friend CHRISTINE What of your career MEG Everything's great BOTH And isn't fate a splendid thing CHRISTINE It brought me here MEG To see the sights CHRISTINE And sing GIRY You! RAOUL My god, it's you! GIRY It can't be true RAOUL Is this a dream? It's been ten years! GIRY What brings you here? RAOUL What do you think? Christine She's here to sing GIRY I read the news For Hammerstein? RAOUL No plans have changed He's been outbid GIRY Outbid by whom? RAOUL The contract's here It's rather strange MEG Sorry, did I hear you right? Here to sing CHRISTINE Tomorrow night MEG That seems odd there must be some mistake That's the leading lady slot I've been booked CHRISTINE Oh surely not... MEG This was meant to be my lucky break CHRISTINE Look I hardly sing Just one little thing An aria MEG Christine it's a thrill Just to share the bill with you MEG/GIRY My dear old friend It's becoming clear old friend Someone's overlooked His leading act RAOUL Well double-booked To be exact Now my old friend Can you clarify old friend This Mr. Y With whom we signed Who hides behind the pseudonym GIRY You haven't guessed? RAOUL I've no idea GIRY It's him RAOUL It's him? GIRY That's what I said RAOUL You work for him? GIRY Now you do too RAOUL My poor wife, we thought him dead She'll be appalled GIRY Unless she knew CHRISTINE Darling, please, are you alright? RAOUL Tell me now, this music, who was its creator? CHRISTINE Darling, please don't squeeze so tight RAOUL Something's going on here, I'll deal with you later MEG What's this about? GIRY I wish I knew GIRY/RAOUL The truth will out before we're through ALL My dear old friends Can't believe your here old friends GIRY My dear Christine MEG My dear Vicomte CHRISTINE What does this mean? RAOUL What does he want? ALL My grand old friend I don't understand old friend MEG/GIRY Maybe it's a joke CHRISTINE/RAOUL Some silly game ALL And what his aim is in the end I can't pretend to comprehend old friend MEG It isn't fair GIRY We need to think CHRISTINE I need some air RAOUL I need a drink ALL My bold old friend(?) Isn't this abhorred old friend CHRISTINE I'm still amazed MEG I'm still confused GIRY I'm feeling dazed RAOUL I'm feeling used ALL And yet old friend Let's not get upset old friend GIRY We can sort this out RAOUL I'm sure we will MEG Without a doubt ALL Because we're still Such grand old friends Such devoted and old friends Back again (at last) When everyone (is doing great) Won't this be fun? (so much fun) With two old friends Just able with two old friends (?) GIRY Let us raise a gla** CHRISTINE To times gone by RAOUL To Mr. Y MEG To happy ends ALL To such sincere And very dear old friends Old friends! RAOUL No offense, but I need something stronger. Madame I shall see you tomorrow night at the concert, where I am sure you will both surpa** yourselves. Good day.
