Lyrics[]
Roxanne:
What does it feel like
To slow dance in sunlight
With someone you love?
Somebody who sees you
And won't ever leave you alone
Whatever comes
I need someone to die for
Write poems and cry for
And I won't be ashamed
I'm nobody's pet
No one's wife, no one's woman
And I won't play that game
I'd give anything
For someone to say
That they can't live without me
And they'll be there forever
I'd give anything
For someone to say to me
That no matter how bad it gets
They won't turn away from me
What do you do
When you're always waiting
To find love at first sight?
If I'm naive, why does all the poetry
Say that I might?
I have heard songs that say
Love conquers everything
However you name it
It's right there in front of you
Wherever you are
You just have to claim it
Ensemble:
I'd give anything for someone to say
That they can't live without me
And they'll be there forever
Orange Seller:
I'd give anything for someone to say to me
Orange Seller & Thief:
That no matter how bad it gets
Borghesi:
They won't turn away from me
Roxanne:
If love's there,
I'll feel it and its stare
It would be freedom at first sight
I'll be walking on air
If love's there,
Won’t dare run away
I'll swallow my pride
And I'll ask you to stay
Christian:
God, what I'd do to just
Be able to tell her
What it's like when I see her
It's something like
Cyrano:
Happiness
Christian:
It's something like
Cyrano:
Hunger
Christian:
And something like
Cyrano:
Fear
Christian:
I'd give anything for someone to say
All the words I don't have
And I can't put together
I'd give anything for someone to say to her
That she's all I can think about
And I can't live without her
My father told me letters and books
Weren't meant for the son of a soldier
Courage and steel
The trials of the real world are what matter
And all that should mold you
God, what I'd do to have
Thе one thing that you have
That I never will
You have something worth giving
A reason for living
All I do well is
Guards:
Kill
Christian & Guards:
I'd give anything for someone to say
All the words I don't have
And I can't put together
I'd give anything for someone to say to her
That she's all I can think about
And I can't live without her
I'd give anything for someone to say
That they can't live without me
And they'll be there forever
I'd give anything for someone to say to me
That no matter how bad it gets
They won't turn away from me
