i still believe - miss saigon international cast lyrics
miss saigon
miss saigon – ho chi minh city, april 1978
i still believe
kim
last night i watched him sleeping
my body pressed to him
and then he started speaking
the name i heard him speak… was kim
yes i know that this was years ago
but when moonlight fills my room i know
you are here… still
i still
i still believe
you will return
i know you will
my heart
against all odds
holds still
yes, still
i still believe
i know as long as i can keep believing, i’ll live
i’ll live
love cannot die
you will return
you will return
and i alone know why
(in a bedroom on the other side of the world, in america. a woman is
sitting beside chris who is sleeping. she is ellen, chris’ s wife)
ellen
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
(chris wakes up from his sleep with a cry. ellen takes him in her
arms and calms him)
ellen
it’ s all over, i’ m here
there is nothing to fear
chris, what’ s haunting you?
won’ t you let me inside
what you so want to hide!
i need you too!
kim ellen
for still i will hold you all night, i will make
[it all right
i still believe you are safe with me
as long as i and i wish you could tell what you don’t
[want to tell
can keep believing, i’ll live what your h-ll must be
i’ll live you can sleep now
you will return you can cry now
and i know why i’m your wife now
i’m yours for life
until we die until we die
(in america, chris holds ellen; in vietnam, kim is alone in
her room.)
