May I return.. .to the beginning?
This song always makes me cry...
I saw a high school production at Cretin-Durham -- back before the pandemic, I think -- and just cried in the audience, with a smile on my face. Those kids were amazing. Quite the theatre program...
May I return (may I return)...

Song by Andrew Lloyd Webber
I closed my eyesDrew back the curtainTo see for certainWhat I thought I knew
Far, far awaySomeone was weepingBut the world was sleepingAny dream will do
I wore my coat (I wore my coat)With golden liningBright colors shiningWonderful and new
And in the east (and in the east)The dawn was breakingAnd the world was wakingAny dream will do
A crash of drums, a flash of lightMy golden coat flew out of sightThe colors faded into darknessI was left alone
May I return (may I return)To the beginningThe light is dimmingAnd the dream is too
The world and I (the world and I)We are still waitingStill hesitatingAny dream will do
A crash of drums, a flash of lightMy golden coat flew out of sightThe colors faded into darknessI was left alone
May I return (may I return)To the beginningThe light is dimmingAnd the dream is too
The world and I (the world and I)We are still waitingStill hesitating
Any dream will do
