Diane tries to move past the platonic stage of her relationship with Chuck.
View Lyrics
Well, pop the champagne, break out the cologne; turn up the moonlight and turn off the phone. Well, what a surprise, a man is in sight; and I will be loved tonight.
To fondle his skin, to savor his lips; to nuzzle his chin, to movie with his hips. our words will be soft as we softly ignite; and I will be loved tonight.
You can go from week to week, you can go from year to year; not a hand placed on your cheek, not a whisper in your ear. You can make it through okay, you can live and laugh, and flirt. It's quite easy in the day; it's just the nights that always hurt.
So let darkness come, 'cause that will be fine; for I'll have a soul entangled in mine. We'll do as we please, and please... hold me tight. For I will be loved, I will be loved. Yes, I will be loved tonight.

Context & Lyrics


Claire explains to Jason her romantic past with a man who died in the 9/11 attacks.
View Lyrics
We met, of all places, In front of Gristedes some freakishly cold winters day. I had on several unflattering layers of wool. He slipped on the ice with his grocery bags full, So I rescued some Fruit Loops he dropped by the curb And he made some remark that my smile was superb I thought that was sweet and I started to go and he said "Hey, whatcha doing tomorrow?'

'Because I'll be here At the corner of Bleeker and Mercer tomorrow at 7. If you want to meet up, I'll be waiting right here, And in case there are two fellas waiting for you, my name's John." He waved and then he was gone.

Needless to say I went back there to meet him Mostly to see if he'd show, and there he was Out in the cold with his jacket pulled tight. He took me to dinner and kissed me goodnight. The next week we went to this terrible play. And the week after that drank hot chocolate all day. And suddenly, eight or nine months had flown by when he said "Hey, whatcha doing the rest of your life?'

'Because I'll be here Right beside you as long as you want me to be. There's no question. There is nothing I've wanted so much in my life. This might sound immature but I'm totally sure you're the one." And we had just begun.

We got hitched in September, our favorite month, With a rock band that played in this old synagogue. And we bought an apartment on West 17th street and talked about children and getting a dog. Our first anniversary came in a flash And we promised to take the day off. He had to stop into his office that morning, And so I went walking uptown to this bakery I know. When I heard on the street what I thought was a joke Till I noticed the sirens and saw all the smoke. So I'm running back home with this feeling of dread To the voicemail he left with the last words he said.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to ruin your evening by bringing up all of this stuff. You're probably wondering why I even called you tonight. Well today something happened that spooked me alright. I saw this storm cloud of papers fall down from the sky, And I thought of that day and I started to cry. When as sure as I breath I heard John clear as day saying "Hey, you're allowed to move on. It's okay.'

'Because I'll be here Even if you decide to get rid of my favorite sweater. Even if you go out on my birthday This year instead of staying at home letting all of life's moments pass by. You don't have to cry.'

'Because I'll be here When you start going back to the places we went to together. When you take off my ring and you let yourself smile. When you meet some handsome and patient and true. When he says that he wants to be married to you. When you call him one night and he meets you downtown. When you finally answer him yes." Yes. Jason, I will marry you. I will give you my heart. It has taken so long, but I'm ready to start. Right now John's whispering 'Congrats' in my ear cause I finally let myself tell you That I will be here.

Context & Lyrics


Cal, a magician's assistant, realizes that her career and love life are not working out, so she considers reluctantly returning to West End Avenue.
View Lyrics
All of your life you wake up to the taxis and the chimes To the bathroom with the roaches and the breakfast with the Times. And you subway to school with kids whose folks all live in twenty blocks In a high-rise rented carton or a co-op brownstone box, with double locks.

West End Avenue. Babies in carts and poodles barking, West End Avenue. Planning the day around the parking.

You tell yourself, "I will be free." West End Avenue, You won't get me.

All of your life you watch the shrinks and lawyers on parade, Watch the brokers in their worsted and the ad men in their suede. While upstairs a soprano tries to sing the waltz from "La Boheme." And you watch 'em and you listen and you judge and you condemn: You're not like them.

West End Avenue. Delis and laundromats and gay bars, West End Avenue. Only a block away from Zabars.

But you were meant to really fly. West End Avenue, Good bye, good bye.

And then suddenly you're out there on your own. But you forgot that free could also mean alone. And when all that freedom gets too much for you, Ooh, what do you do?

You pack up your boots and blue jeans and your records and your pride, And you tell yourself you ventured and you tell yourself you tried. And it's back to the surly doormen and the canopies you go. And the buses seem to chuckle and the towers seem to crow: "We told you so."

West End Avenue, Find me a golden cage to perch in. West End Avenue, Open your arms to one more urchin Who's crawlin' back to mama's den. West End Avenue, You win again!

A woman who is bittersweet with her life surrenders to her circumstances without complaining.
View Lyrics
It was a liberated marriage We shared the household chores of course We understood each others feelings Right down to the day of our sensible divorce

I didn't ask him for a penny I'd had my liberated training

So off he went with his hair of bronze To find a life like Khalil Gibran's I got my rest from the drugs he did He got his quest, I got the kid

And oh, I'm not complaining

So I set off to be a writer, A modern mother on her own I wrote up happenings at galleries Turned down jobs with salaries Stayed freelance and alone

I fought the battles of the sixties Which you recall were rather draining When men were thick, I hit the fray Became a prick Got equal pay I faced down chauvinistic slobs I won the fights Improved the jobs

And oh, I'm not complaining

My husband found himself his ashram Lost forty pounds and went through hell Then one day he came back from limbo Found himself some bimbo And moved to New Rochelle

I raised my son and I had lovers My choices sometimes take explaining I'd meet some jock My friends would scoff He'd stay a while I'd drive him off I kept my space Preserved my turf Six months I'd send him back to surf

And oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I was not complaining

So now my son's half way through college I pay tuition like a fine I'm still this feisty freelance writer Resume well honed At a well toned forty-nine

I find that getting work is harder Each job I want takes more campaigning And those sweet young things who hire me now Those MBAs making fifty thou Who smile and ask what I have done When they got their jobs from the fights I won

Ah, they should all stay home and have babies

But I'm not complaining

And in the evening at my window As I watch Jersey growing dim I feel a troubling emotion Summed up in this notion I wish I'd stayed with him

Lord knows each day with him was madness As I have spent my life maintaining

But more and more I recall the joy My golden dreamer My lost boy Our life was life in the twilight zone But no worse than a life alone

And oh, Well I chose my way And I'm not complaining

PAM
I said I'd fill my life with you.
One look and what else could I do.
That smile that lights your face washed into every secret space
And made me see a better me inside of me.
And when a gift like that comes through
I have to thank my stars forever.
And so I'll stay with you and fill each day with you
And always know that I'd complete
In every way with you.
NICK
I said I'd fill my life with you.
One look and what else could I do.
It only took one touch and somehow
You unlocked so much
And made me see a stronger me inside of me
And when a gift like that comes through
I have to thank the stars forever.

I'm a lady when you kiss me, I'm a child when you are leaving, I'm a woman ev'ry time our bodies meet complete.
Long lost feelings stir inside me, used to think nights were for sleeping, being wanted is a thrill I never knew till you.
Now I'm alive, inside I'm glowing, I'm how I want to be, loving you I can be me, just me.
It's the first time when you touch me, now I long for rainy mornings, I am certain you're the last man in my life. I'm a woman ev'ry time our bodies meet complete.
Long lost feelings stir inside me, used to think nights were for sleeping, being wanted is a thrill I never knew till you.
Now I'm alive, inside I'm glowing, I'm how I want to be, loving you I can be me, just me.
It's the first time when you touch me, now I long for rainy mornings, tell each other to find all we're looking for and more.
Found the rainbow I was after, no more dreams with one face missing, I am certain you're the last man in my life.

View Lyrics
You must be mistaken It couldn't have been You couldn't have seen him yesterday He's doing some deal up in Baltimore now I hate it, when he's away!

You must be mistaken I'm sure that you are! There's more than one car with stickers on. And lots of young guys wear corduroy pants. And I'd know if he hadn't gone

Take that look off your face (Take that look off your face) I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile) You would love to be right, I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door. Well, I've got news for you: I knew before.

If I'm not mistaken, it started last year.

I'm not very clear how it began I noticed a change, but I just closed my eyes As only a woman can.

No, I didn't dig deep. (No, I didn't dig deep.) I did not want to know. (I did not want to know.) Well, you don't interfere when you're scared of the things you might hear. When he's back, you think I will end it right there and then? Well, my fair weather friend: you're wrong again!

Take that look off your face (Take that look off your face) I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile) You would love to be right, I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door. Well, I've got news for you: I knew before.

Rose, an actress, begs for her lover Alex not to leave her.
View Lyrics
Anything but lonely, Anything but empty rooms. There's so much in life to share -- What's the sense when no one else is there?

Anything but lonely, Anything but only me. Quiet years in too much space: That's the thing that's hard to face, And ...

You have a right to go, But you should also know That I won't be alone for long. Long days with nothing said Are not what lie ahead -- I'm sorry, but I'm not that strong.

Anything but lonely, Anything but passing time. Lonely's what I'll never be, While there's still some life in me, And ...

I'm still young, don't forget, It isn't over yet -- So many hearts for me to thrill. If you're not here to say How good I look each day, I'll have to find someone who will.

Anything but lonely, Anything but empty rooms. There's so much in life to share -- What's the sense when no one else is there ...?

What's the sense when no one else is there ...?

A woman sings about setting her own rules and choosing her own path.
View Lyrics
Now, I'm standing here the sunlight is soft & warm. Is this a gentle paradise or only the eye of the storm? This time will I just give in when the rain starts to pour down? This time will I start to swim or will I start to drown?

Now, I'm walking alone as the wind circles all around. Waiting for the slightest move or the first unexpected sound. This time will I raise my shield when the hunters spot their prey? This time will I stay in the field or will I run away?

From who I am, And what I want, And what I can find, And who I will be.

Now, I'm moving along as the twilight begins to spread. I take in this moment as the clouds gather overhead. This time will I see what's true when the lightening streaks through the grey? This time will it blind my view or will it light the way?

To who I am, And what I want, And what I can find, And who I will be.

And all these questions in me, are fading away as I suddenly see; I can embrace everything behind me. And find the place where I finally find me.

Now, I run with you as a new sun begins to rise. I can see forever through these endless big blue skies.

Now is the only time. Here is the only place. This is all I want to be.

This time I can see the view. This time the sun will shine through. This time. This time. This time.

Lucille, whose husband Leo is accused of murder, chastises the reporter Craig who wants to interview Leo.
View Lyrics
LUCILLE: You don't know this man You don't know a thing You come here with these horrifying stories These contemptible conceits And you think you understand how a mans heart beats And you don't know a thing
You don't know this man You don't even try When a man writes his mother every Sunday Pays his bills before they're due Works so hard to feed his family There's your murderer for you And you stand there spittin' words That you know aren't true Then you don't know this man I don't think you could
You don't have the right to know A man that wise and good He is a decent man He is an honest man And you don't know And you never will
Not from me, not from anyone who knows him Not a morsel, not a crumb, not a clue I have nothing more to say to you

Trina is struggling to cope with Whizzer's mysterious illness.
View Lyrics
TRINA I was sure growing up I would live the life My mother assumed I'd live Very Jewish, very middle-class, and very straight Where healthy men stayed healthy men And marriages were long and great I smile I don't complain

I'm trying to keep sane as the rules keep changing Families aren't what they were Thank God there's a husband and a child whom I adore But then there's more So many more There's always more

Life is never what you planned Life is moments you can't understand And that is life I'm plain I don't astound

I hold to the ground As the ground keeps shifting Keeping my balance square Trying not to care about this man who Marvin loves But that's my life He shared my life Yes, that's my life

Life is never what you planned Life is moments you can't understand And that is life

Holding to the ground As the ground keeps shifting Trying to keep sane As the rules keep changing Keeping up my head As my heart falls out of sight Everything will be all right Everything will be all right

This song is the culmination of Samantha’s high school experience as she plans the next step for her future.
View Lyrics
SAM The seat is sinking underneath your weight. The sky is pale with morning light. Your heart is beating at a faster rate. Remember this - The racing heart, the purple dawn. Remember this Before the moment’s gone.
The street is quiet but the clouds race by, And who knows what those clouds will see. Before you start regretting, Before you turn the key, Remember this – The way it feels inside the car, The still cool air. Remember feeling like your life begins today. Try to stop and feel each second slip away. Remember this. Remember.
Remember everything that led you here, Each road trip and every single tear.
Remember what you learned And what you still don’t know. You look back on your life On the girl you were for eighteen years. You look back one more time, Then you let it go.

Your hand might shake as the ignition lights. You might not know what road you’ll take. But now the gear is shifting. Your foot is lifting off the brake. Remember this. Remember this. Remember this. Remember freedom.

Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom.

Ivy confesses to her classmate Nadia that Jason, who is gay, is the father of Ivy’s baby.
View Lyrics
NADIA Hey, if you say so... Y'know, I can't believe you missed rehearsal again It isn't all about you! It affects the rest of us, what you do Look, what's wrong with you?
IVY Nothing
NADIA What my brother broke your heart? Cause it sure broke mine when I heard he was seeing you Poor Ivy, stuck wanting the one thing she can't have
IVY You think you know me...
NADIA Yeah, you know what? I am so sick of you moping around when you've had The world handed to you because you're pretty I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat
IVY Remember back in 7th grade Endless games of truth or dare Double dates to Shea's arcades When I close my eyes I?m there I think my mother took this picture Back when were all just friends Memories that fade and flicker Burn again when I pretend
PETER Did you sleep with her?
JASON No.
IVY Life is short and life is strange Trouble now and troubled past Times have changed they rearrange And little girls grow up so fast Feel it how it grows inside me Swirling ball of anguished cries Haunted daunted so unwanted Feel its anger in me rise
Dream a dream then dash another Life is there to interrupt Someone out there call my mother Look at me mom all grown up
All those years she scrimped and saved And now of course it comes to this If only Ivy had behaved Or learned to stopped at just a kiss It hits me paralyzing shudder Face the music take a bow Just another unwed mother One more sad statistic now
Dream a dream and end another Life is there to interrupt Someone out there call my mother Look at me I'm all grown up Look at me I'm all grown up
Little lies and big decisions Who to tell and where to go Follow someone else's vision Or trust my own 'cause I don't know Am I suppose to love this child? Is it just that simple then? Tell me how this change will happen Tell me how and tell me when Tell me how and tell me when
Dream a dream and end another Life is there to interrupt Someone out there tell my mother Look at me I'm all grown up
Story ends in total damage It's an unforgiving world 17 how will I manage How can I I'm just a girl

Marcy tells her lover Austin that she is in fact not ready yet for true love.
View Lyrics
MARCIE Stop there, Austen, hold it, freeze Give me a second, would you please` You said a lot there and I`m just not there I need to think your honesty real And it appeals to my emotions Which is great, but I`m sure Now`s no the time for romantic notions

I want true love someday But, just not now A picket fence clich` But just not now How can I make you see Though this feels right to me Now`s not the time to be Quite where you are

You`re here too soon And though I know It sounds unfair If you would wait for me, I swear I`ll meet you there I need some time to heal And though your love seems real I`m not prepared to feel The way you do

Let`s take this time We`ll wait it out Or else we`ll crash and burn I`m lost And I don`t know What true love`s all about Please give me time to learn

I want so much to say Okay, I love you too I will, but not today You know, I know you do And though it`s hard you must Control your heart and trust I want with you Just not now

Lizzie, a university junior whose boyfriend is on a summer tour with his band, is forced to face her pregnancy by herself.
View Lyrics
So this is the tale my mother told me That tale that was much too dull to hold me And this is the surge and the rush she said would show Our story goes on
Oh, I was young I'd forgot how things outlive me. My goal was the kick that life would give me And now like a joke something moves to let me know Our story goes on
And all these things I feel and more My mother's mother felt and hers before A chain of life began upon the shore of some dark sea has reached to me And now I can see the chain extending My child is next in the line that has no ending And here am I feeling life that her child will feel when I'm long gone And thus it is our story goes on
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on And all these things I feel and more My mother's mother felt and hers before A chain of life began upon the shore of some primordial sea has stretched through time to reached to me And now I can see the chain extending My child is next in the line that has no ending
And her am I feeling life that her child will feel when I'm long gone Yes all that was is part of me as I am part of what's to be And thus it is our story goes on And on and on and on and on

By the end of the show, Queenie loses both of the men who pursue her, and contemplates how things came to end so badly.
View Lyrics
We're all so sure We're all so wise No limits No boundaries No compromise. Laughing at our neighbor Smiling through a hiss How did we come to this?
We're all amuse We're all inspired So cunning So clever And so admired Easy to be angry Easy to dismiss How did we come to this?
Maybe I've been living in a daydream Maybe I've been talking in my sleep If I've been awake Pardon my mistake But time is running low And talk is growing cheap.
We play our games We place our bets No witness No weakness And no regrets. Filling up with frenzy Killing with a kiss How did we all come to this? Time goes by Plans grow stale People die And parties fail How did we come to this?
ENSEMBLE She had grey eyes, Lips like coals aglow. And her face was a tinted mask of snow.
A fascinating woman As they go.

Grania (known in the show as “Grace”) vents to her lover Tiernan over her frustration that her father Dubhdara forbids her to sail on his ship.
View Lyrics
Woman I am born What does “woman” mean? Must my dreams face scorn Held back and unseen

If I long for fire Must it stay unreal? Can I not desire? Am I not to feel?

If I ache to taste Am I not to try? If my heart says sail Why must I deny? I have my dreams I have made plans

I see horizons wide as a man’s Must I be nothing till I’m some man’s wife?

Look at this face Does it deceive? Do I look made to milk and to weave? I will be damned to Hell if that is my life! (Interlude)

Tiernan, I’m almost your age, I’m your match in size, I’m your match with swords An equal in most eyes

But when you have a dream And you’re caught in it’s grip You can climb aboard a ship You can – You can for you’re a man

You can reach toward that place Where the earth meets the sky Fight a battle be brave, be true If you can do it, why not I?

I’m meant to fly Sail unrestrained Why is man free and woman chained? Is that my epitaph before I die?

I should be free Free to be Grace I want to feel the wind on my face! And when life beckons, I should go Face out the storm, not stay below Am I to be just woman? No! Not I!

Diane tries to move past the platonic stage of her relationship with Chuck.
View Lyrics
Well, pop the champagne, break out the cologne; turn up the moonlight and turn off the phone. Well, what a surprise, a man is in sight; and I will be loved tonight.
To fondle his skin, to savor his lips; to nuzzle his chin, to movie with his hips. our words will be soft as we softly ignite; and I will be loved tonight.
You can go from week to week, you can go from year to year; not a hand placed on your cheek, not a whisper in your ear. You can make it through okay, you can live and laugh, and flirt. It's quite easy in the day; it's just the nights that always hurt.
So let darkness come, 'cause that will be fine; for I'll have a soul entangled in mine. We'll do as we please, and please... hold me tight. For I will be loved, I will be loved. Yes, I will be loved tonight.
