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 |
|

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! |
|

|

|
As long as I And I wish you could tell what you don't |
|

|
