Andrew Lloyd Webber - Please, Miss Giry, I Want To Go Back lyrics

Please, Miss Giry I want to go back I want my mother The world is hard The world is mean It's hard to keep Your conscience clean Please, you're hurting me The sea is calm The sea is gray It washes Everything away I can't swim Don't worry, it's almost over Sink into the deep Blue and cool and kind Then drift off to sleep Let the past unwind Leave the hurt behind Gustave Mother No, I'm not done yet Let go of the boy now Not another step Let go of him, girl, or I promise you 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 led 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 the beach Bathing beauty in her dressing room Bathing beauty in the dark On their laps, in their arms, in their beds Meg, my little Meg What are you saying? Who helped you raise the money? Who helped 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 Curried 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 Give me the gun, Meg Give me the hurt and the pain and the gun, Meg Give me the blame for not seeing the things That you've done, Meg Give me the gun, Meg Give me the chance to see you clear at last See me clear at last You feel ugly, you feel used You feel broken, you feel bruised Ah, but me, I can see all the beauty underneath Yes You've been robbed of love and pride Been ignored and pushed aside Even so, I still know there is beauty underneath Yes Diamonds never sparkle right If they aren't set just right Beauty sometimes goes unseen We can't all be like Christine Christine, Christine Always Christine No, I didn't mean to Mother, there, say something Say anything Giry, go get help, now Where's Papa? He should be here Where's Papa? Your father, your real father 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 is not always beautiful Not at the start So open your arms And close your eyes tight Look with your heart And when you find love No 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? Just love, just live And give what we can give And take the love that you deserve Just love, just live And give all that I have And take what little I deserve Come closer, I beg you Closer still Remember love never dies Kiss me one last time
