Christopher Hampton - New Ways to Dream (Reprise) lyrics

[MAX] When we met, she was a child Barely sixteen Awkward and yet She had an air I've never seen I knew I'd found My perfect face Deep in her eyes New ways to dream And we inspired New ways to dream Talkies came I stayed with her Took up this life Threw away fame Please understand She was my wife We had achieved far more than most We gave the world new ways to dream Everyone needs new ways to dream [JOE, spoken] Are you saying you were married to her? [MAX, spoken] I was the first husband [MAX] So I play this game Keeper of the flame Sharing with her one last dream Don't you think I knew it never could come true? She'll be the very last one to surrender I will not allow her to surrender
