Finale

I Can't Recall

Madame Defarge
From Where I Sit I See The Way Things Are
The Way They've Always Been
From Here The Heavens Seem A Little Far
And This World Full Of Sin
And With These Hands I Keep A Memory
Of The Ones Who've Done Such Wrong
Until The Judgement Comes And All Of Us Are Free
I Knit A Picture Of The Way It Ought To Be.

Ernest Defarge
You've Always Known This World Is Black And Cold
And Human Life Is Cheap
You've Always Known Most Men Are Out For Blood
And God Is Fast Asleep
And You Can Stand There Doing Nothing
Hating Everyone You See
Or You Can Fight To Make A World Where Men Are Free
It's Up To Us To Choose The Way It Ought To Be

Madame Defarge
And You Can Stand There Doing Nothing Hating Everyone You See

Ernest Defarge
Or You Can Fight To Make A World Where Men Are Free

Men
Until The Judgement Comes Until This World Is Free

Madame Defarge
I Knit A Picture Of The Way It Ought To Be

Sydney Carton
If You Ask Me The World Could Use A Shot
Of Whiskey In Its Glass
I've Earned The Right To Judge
I've Learned A Lot
Observing On My Ass
This Little Bottle Keeps Mankind At Bay
And Far Away From Me
And When I'm Blind With Drink
I Like The World I See
I Even Think The World's The Way It Ought To Be

Lorry
I Come To Dig A Man Out.
I Come To Dig A Man Out.
Seventeen Years; Buried Alive.
Buried Alive. And I Must Dig Him Out.
I Hope He Cares
To Be Recalled To Life

Manette
I Cannot Say, For Sure.

Lorry
The Shadows Of The Night
Are Quickly Closing In.
I Can Hear A Muffled Cry Come From Within.
And Will He Know I've Come?
Will He Want To Be Saved?
When I Come Dig Someone Out Of The Grave? Buried How Long?

Manette
Almost Eighteen Years.

Lorry
You Had Abandoned Any Hope?

Manette
Long Ago.

Lorry
You Know That You're Recalled To Life?

Manette
They Tell Me So.

Lorry
I Pray To God You Care To Live...

Manette
I Just Don't Know...

Lorry
The Night Shadows.
The Night Shadows
Call To Me.
Set Him Free
From The Grave;
To The Light.
Can I Save Him From
The Night?
The Night Shadows
Call To Me
I Hope You Care
To Be Recalled To Life...

Manette
I Cannot Say.
I Hope It's True. Will I One Day
Thank God For You?

Ensemble
When People Are Thirsty, And Ready And Willing.
Then It Won't Be Long 'til Something Else But Wine Is Spilling
The Butcher Is Idle, When People Are Starving
But It Won't Be Long 'til Theres Anoter Kind Of Carving.
Look Into The Future, And What Do You See There?
And If We Do Nothing Can You Gaurantee We'll Be There?
Stop Calling To Heaven, Stop Praying For Answers.
Just Know The Divinest Intervention Is The Hand Of Man.
And Where Does Is Finish?
Just Where Is The Ending? How Far Is Too Far?
When Are We Past The Point Of Bending?
We Eat From The Streets Now,
We Fight For A Handout
Which One Is More Pitiful The Trick Is How To Stand Out.
We're Not Above Begging. We're Not Above Stealing.
And Pride Is A Luxury, We're Past The Point Of Feeling.
The Wealthy Get Richer, And We Keep On Waiting.
We Learn To Keep Patient, We've Learned To Keep Hating.
Look Into The Future, And What Do You See There.
And If We Do Nothing Can You Gaurantee-- We'll Be There
For The Things To Come. The Future Dawn, The Distant Drum.
The Cup From Which We All Can Drink-
It's Later Than The Scholars Think.
And It Won't Be Long-
It Won't Be Long.
It Won't Be Long.

Defarge

Up In The Garret We Conceal
A Man Who Has Done His Time.
Seventeen Years In The Bastille.
But No One Can Name His Crime.
He Was A Simple Country Doctor
Called On To Aid A Girl In Need
Beaten And Raped
And Left To Bleed
Nothing The Doctor Would Do Could Save Her Life
Nor Her Young Brother Who Fell Defending Her
And The Two Noblemen Who Had Done This Crime
Only The Doctor Could Say Just Who They Were.
These Two Aristocrats Had Hoped
The Doctor Could Cure Their Crime
Now With The Two Young Victims Dead
They Sinned A Foul Second Time
Fearing That He'd Reveal Their Shame
They Gauranteed He'd Lay No Blame!
Seventeen Years In A Cell Without A Trial
Seventeen Years We Have Tried To Learn Their Name
I Was His Servant; A Boy Of Eighteen.
I Can Remember When He Dissappeared
I Search In Vain For The Truth Of His Fate
He Had Gone There To Do Good
Gone To Help Someone In Need
No Kindness Was Ever Repaid With So Deadly A Deed!
He's Free Now But Still In Chains
Dr. Manette's Lost His Mind
He Rambles On About
Some Paper He Must Find
Written So Long Ago
Hidden Behind His Cell Wall
That Paper Is The Proof Of Things He Can't Recall
I'll Find That Note One Day The Day The Bastille Falls!

Dr. Manette
Who Are You?
It Is The Same.
But She Is Dead.
How Can That Be?
She Was Lost To Me.
She Had Laid Her Head Upon My Shoulder
And When I Was Brought To The Tower They Found Hair, Like This
Upon My Sleeve.
How Was This?
Was It You?

Lucie
She Was My Mother.
Weep For Your Wife Who Could Not Bear To Live Without You By Her Side.
She Hid Your Torture From Me
And She Told Me You Had Died.
It's Over Now.
No More Good-byes.

Close Your Eyes.
Let Memory Fly Away.
You'llnever Be Alone Again.
Come With Me.
We'll Find A Brighter Day.
You'll Never Fear The Dark Again.
We Both Were Lost.
But Now That's All Behind Us All The Endless Years I Never Knew You.
Lay Down Your Pain.
The Shadows Of The Past You've Seen The Very Last Of What You Knew.
I'll Help You To Forget.
The Emptiness You've Known.
You'll Never Be Alone Again.
You'll Never Be Alone Again.

Working Hard's Fine For Some
Lacking Intellect

Barsad
Slaving Day And Night's No Way To Lighten My Load

Carton And Cruncher
Don't Tell Me To Work An Honest Job
When It's Easier To Cheat And Rob

All
Let Another Law-abiding Slob Take The High Road.

Barsad
There's No Way You Can Thrive And Keep Honesty Alive
Try To Scale The Moral Peak And Never Backslide
Those With All The Power In Their Hands
Get The Law To Bow To Their Demands
And The Law Abiding Man Just Lands On His Backside
And If You Go To Court Tomorrow

All
He'll Be On The Stand.
A Certain Frenchman's Up For Treason Put There By His Hand!

Barsad
There's A Marquis Quite Grand With A Nephew He Can't Stand
So Good Hearted Any Heartless Chap Should Hate
But With Just A Couple Lies From Me
He'll Be Framed Just Like The Mona Lee
And They'll Take Him Out And Swiftly De- Capitate Him

All
For With No Honest Way It's Hard To Keep From Doing Wrong.
And With No Honest Way He Has No Choice But Go Along!

Barsad
Look At Him; Like A Tot. Should We Wake Him?

Men
Nah.

Barsad
Better Not.
What's This Pokin' From His Pocket
What's This Token That He's Got?
Why's He Loaded Down With All This Wealth?

All
He'd Be Happier With Just His Health...
There's Just No Honest Way
There's Just No Honest Way
There's Just No Decent,
Law-abiding, Honest Way

Attorney General
Your Honourable Lordship
The Prisoner You See Here
Must Be Of No Earthly Good Or Else He Wouldn't Be Here!
While He Was Aboard Ship
His Traitorous Mission
Was Noticed By Many Through His Shameless Exhibition.

All
Thank God For Law And Order!

Jury
There Is No Greater Liquidator In The Land!
As Men Of Business We Prevail

I Call Mr. Barsad
A Witness To Treason
A Man Who Is Here For Purely Patriotic Reason.

He's The Biggest Cheat In Town
Testifyin' For The Crown

Thank God For Mr. Barsad.
Thank God He Did His Best Withstood The Test And Gave It All He Had.
A Fine Example To Us All

Why If The English, Like The Romans Honored Men Of Public Good

He's Have A Statue Twelve Feet Tall!

Stryver
As Funds Are Tight This Year It Does Appear He'll Only Get A Bust
We Trust That He Will Just Make Do

Barsad
On Deck I Was Strolling
I Noticed This Frenchman
And He Didn't Seem Like Any Ordinary Henchman
He Looked Very Honest
But I Would Discover
That He Was A Book Where You Must Look Inside The Cover
He Laid Down His Top Coat
And Out Of His Pocket
Came Tumbling Papers Which Have Sent Him To The Docket
I Thought I'd Be Helpful
I Bent And Retrieved Them
And My Eyes Beheld Such A Sight
I Thought The Night Deceived Them

Attorney General
They Were Military Lists

Barsad
Troop Positions, Strength And Plans

Attorney General
You Could Not Imagine How They Were Found In Foreign Hands

Barsad
I'm An Ordinary Man Just A Trusting Type Of Guy

Ag/barsad
But It Seemed To Him/me This Man Was The Foulest Kind Of Spy!

Jury We See No Sense In Lenience
We Must Dispatch The Ones We Catch Without Delay

Women
Offenders Must Not Go Scott Free!

Jury On Crimes Both Big And Small
The Axe Must Fall With Uniformity Women
Though Crimes May Vary By Degree

All
It Makes More Sense To Have One Penalty For Everything, You See,
That's True Equality And Who Could Disagree

Gallery
There Isn't A Loyal Brit With Half A Wit
Who'd Dare To Disagree

All
With That!

You Were An Ass Again.
But You're Consistent.
Why Should You Treat The Man Like That?
Just Because He's Better Than You?
He Can't Help It.
Apparently, It Doesn't Take A Lot To Be Better Than You.
So Everyone Was Looking At Her
The Little Doll Each Hair In Place.
She Can't Be Real;
She Can't Be Flesh And Bone.
No Soul Behind That Lovely Face.
And Yet That Lovely Face Will Haunt You And Follow You To Bed
And While You're Trying To Forget Her
She'll Steal Inside Your Head
And She'll Be Holding You So Close
There'll Be No Place For You To Hide
You Cannot Fight Her;
You Must Invite Her To Come Inside
And Then You're Dreaming Of This Woman
And You Believe She's Real
Something Of Tenderness To Cling To
That Only You Can Feel
And Now The World's Not Too Unkind;
And Every Doll's Not Made Of Stone
But When The Dawn Comes;
And You Awaken
You're Still Alone
Nothing Real
Just A Dream
Just A Doll
But Dolls Can Be Beautiful
They Live Within A Different World
So Easy On The Eye
But Careful Not To Touch
It Wouldn't Do For You
To Touch Or Come To Close At All

Drinkers/whores
Here And There Without A Care,
Filling, Spilling Everywhere,
Drinking In The Sights.
Clapping For A Waiter Here.
Lapping Up A Keg Of Beer,
Lazy Days And Hazier Nights
If Floods Of Rain Have Left You Frowning
There's A Better Way We Know Of Drowning. Our Sorrows
Never Seem To Matter,
But We Must Confess
Happiness To Excess Is Tough On The Bladder.

Christmas Eve And What A Sight!

Where's Your Good Cheer
All The Rest Of The Year?
Here It's Round And Round And Round You Go.
Have Another Round To Go.
Have Another Splash.
Round And Round And Round You Go.
Straight Into The Ground You Go
With A Pounding Crash.
If It Seems The Wicked Just Keep Winning
What Else Can We Do But Just Keep Sinning? Spinning
Round And Round And Round You Go
And Does Anybody Know Where It All Will End, Friend?
Never Saying When,
Here We Go Again.
Round And Round And Down You Go
Again!

Dr. Manette
There's Something In His Face.
There's Something I Don't Trust.
A Memory I Can't Place From Long Ago.
And Yet He's Been So Kind.
To Doubt Him Is Unjust.
For Lucie's Sake I'll Put It From My Mind...
I Must.

Charles Darnay
There Are No Words I Know
To Say The Way I Feel.
Words Aren't Enough To Show You I'm Sincere.
I've Held This In As Long As I Could Stand.

Dr. Manette
Because Of Me?

Charles Darnay
Out Of Respect.

Dr. Manette
I Understand.

Charles Darnay
Lucie Haunts My Heart.
Haunts My Thoughts, My Prayers, My Dreams, My Nights, My Days...

Dr. Manette
I Feared This All Along.

Charles Darnay
She Is Everywhere That I Turn...

Dr. Manette
What Can I Do?
I Said I'd Step Aside One Day.

Charles Darnay
I Love Her
You Share A Special Love
I Swear By God Above
I'd Never Take Her Love From You...
I Only Hope To Share
In What's Already There.
To Love You Both
And To Be True.

Dr. Manette
Does Lucie Know?

Charles Darnay
I've Never Told Her So.
Without Your Blessing I've No Hope...

Dr. Manette
It's Up To Me To Choose
But Either Way I Lose
If She Should Love Him,
I Must Let Her Go.
It Seems Like Yesterday
I Stood There In His Place
When Someone Meant The World To Me...

Charles Darnay
She Is My World....

Dr. Manette
And Someone Gave The World To Me.

Charles Darnay
Give The World To Me.

Dr. Manette
If Lucie Feels The Same
You Have My Blessing Sir.
Nothing Means More To Me Than Her.

Charles Darnay You Won't Regret This Trust.
And To Repay Your Faith.
There Is A Secret You Must Learn...
Darnay Is Not My Name.

Dr. Manette
Don't Tell Me Anymore.

Charles Darnay
But Doctor Please You Ought To Know.

Dr. Manette
If Things Should Go Your Way
Tell Me Your Wedding Day.
For Now, Be Silent,
Please Just Go.
At Least I Got Her Back
If For A Little While.
At Least I Had A Little While.

Charles Darnay
When I'm Alone I Hear Your Voice
Find Myself Wishing That I Made The Choice
Who You Would Love
Who You Were Thinking Of
Then I Pretend You Think Of Me
All In My Mind, But You Think Of Me
Lying Awake I See Your Face
Find Myself Wishing That I Were This Place
Near To Your Heart
Where You'd Come Home At Night
Then I Pretend You Come To Me
All In My Mind, But You Come To Me.
Should I Go On?
Will I Offend? Am I To Hope I Might Do More Than Just Pretend?
I've Played This Scene A Thousand Times
It Turns Out Well When I'm Alone
You Say You Love Me When It's In My Mind

Lucie Manette
When I'm Alone I Feel Your Touch
Find Myself Wishing You Loved Me That Much All
In My Mind, Your Lips Are Close To Mine...

Both
So Many Times I Hear My Heart
Beating So Hard That My Thoughts Fell Apart
I'd Turn Away
Shy Of The Sound It Made
Frightened My Love Might Hear It Too
But Now My Fears Are Undone.
Our Hearts Are Beating As One.
And What I Longed For All In My Mind Came True

Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind.
See The Child Of The Street
Never Give Them A Thought;
How They Live Where They Sleep
Grind Them Into The Ground
It's The Kind Thing To Do
Death Is Welcome Retreat From The Sorrow They Find
Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind
But Here, The Pain Is Never Out Of Sight.
The Sick, The Starved, The Poor.
There Is No Room For Us To Turn Away.
We Can't Just Shut The Door.
Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind.
Where The Strong Never Look.
If We Don't Come Too Near It's As If We're Not Here.
And There's Nothing To Fear.
But Out Of Sight We Have The Room To Plan
We Watch Them From Afar.
They Won't Suspect
That Soon We'll See A Day
When They Know Who We Are.
Let Them Stay Unafraid.
Just For Now Keep Them Blind
Patience Waits For A Spark
Til The Time That Is Right.
We'll Remain In The Dark...
Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind
Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind
Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind

If Dreams Came True I Might Have Been A Better Man.
If Dreams Came True You Might Have Set Me Free.
But God Is Kind, For You He Had A Better Plan
And Saved You From The Pain Of Loving Me.
And Even If I'd Not Surrendered Long Ago
All You Can Ever Do For Me You've Done.
You've Been The Finest Dream A Man Could Ever Know:
That This Abandoned Fight Might Have Been Won.
Old Voices I Had Thought Long Since Dead
Whisper Of Another Life I Might Have Led.
But Daylight Wakes Dreams Away.
Dreams That Leave A Sleeper Where He Lay.
And Even If The Dream Were Not Impossible.
I Know Too Well The Ending Would Be Sad.
For It Takes More Than Wishes To Make Dreams Come True.
A Wish Was All This Dreamer Ever Had.
But There's A Part Of You I Can Love
Just Like You Your Child Sees Good In Everyone
When I Look Into Her Eyes There's No Dissapproving Glance.
Knowing Her's An Endless Second Chance.
If I Could Take That Second Chance...
If I Could Make My Life Anew...
If Only Dreams Came True... What Are You Weeping For?
I Am Not Worth The Tears You Waste
Not Far From Now I'll Sink Once More
And Outward Mock The Heart That Loves You Chaste.
The Low Companions, Low Desires I Scorn But Yield To Endlessly
Will Render Me Less Worth Your Tears Than Any Wretch Who Roams The Street
I Won't Forget You Wept For Me
If Dreams Came True I Might Have Been A Better Man.
If Dreams Came True You Might Have Set Me Free.
But God Is Kind, For You He Has A Better Plan.
And Maybe Time Will Tell He Has Some Plan For Me
And Maybe Then I'll See My Dreams Come True.

Remember How Long We've Been Waiting
We've Been Praying For This Day
Until Tomorrow Is Upon Us
Will You Follow Me Today?
Look In Your Hearts And Find A Soldier
There's No Time To Be Afraid
Until Tomorrow Is Upon Us
Will You Follow Me Today? We've Lived A Lifetime
In A Country We Could Never Call Our Own
For Once We All Must Stand Together Or We'll Surely Fall Alone
Look In The Faces Of Your Children And You Cannot Turn Away
Tomorrow's Dawning; Can You See It?
The Future's Ours If We Can Free It!
It Won't Be Long Until Tomorrow Is Today.
The Time Is Upon Us
We Fight Now Or Never
We're Lighting A Fire They'll Remember Forever
We Go The Bastille The Symbol Of Terror
We'll Swing The Gates Open We'll Lead Them To Freedom We'll Show Them The Way!
For Years A Wind Was Softly Blowing
Softly Building To A Force
For Years A Storm Was Slowly Growing Now They Cannot Change The Course
Look In Your Hearts And Find A Soldier
There's No Time To Be Afraid
Tomorrow's Dawning; Can You See It?
The Future's Ours If We Can Free It!
It Won't Be Long
It Won't Be Long
It Won't Be Long
Until Tomorrow
Until Tomorrow
Until Tomorrow
Is Today!

Wait! I Denounce This Man!

Dr. Manette
I Don't Denounce This Man
This Is A Lie...

Madame Defarge
It's Here In Your Own Words It's Here
In Black And White.
Words That You Can't Take Back Words Even You Cannot Fight.
In The Bastille, My Husband Found
This Paper Left In The Wall Written By You, Dr. Manette:
This Paper Explains It All.
How As A Doctor In The Country,
Called On To Aid A Girl In Need,
Beaten And Raped And Left To Bleed -
Nothing The Doctor Could Do Would Save Her Life,
Nor Her Young Brother Who Fell Defending Her.
And The Two Noblemen Who Had Done This Crime,
Don't You Remember Exactly Who They Were?
How You Went That Night
To The Evremondes
And You Found A Dreadful Sight?
A Young Woman Lay In A Pool Of Blood.
It Was Clear To You She Had Put Up Quite A Fight.
Her Young Brother Lay A Few Feet Away
With A Sabre By His Side.
He Had Tried In Vain
To Defend The Girl
Armed With Little More Than Pride.

Boy
Save My Sister Sir
She Is Badly Hurt
Save My Sister.
Leave Me Be.

Dr. Manette
She Is Gone My Son
To A Better Place
She's At Peace.
She's Free.

Boy
She Had Married For Love
When This Man With His Wealth
Saw Her Beauty And Vowed He Would Have Her Himself.
But My Sister Was Pure
And She Wouldn't Be Used.
And Her Husband Protected Her
And He Refused
You Know The Law
A Peasant Has No Rights
The Master Owns Your Breath.
They Took This Man
They Tied Him To A Cart
And Drove Him To His Death.
With Her Man Out Of Sight
These Two Came For Their Prize.
Took Their Turns Like A Game,
Didn't Care What I'd Find.
I Was There But Too Late...
Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind.

Dr. Manette
Be Still My Son.

Boy
That's Not The End, M'suier.
I Have Another Sister -
Younger Sister
They Will Never Find.
I've Hidden Her Away,
Far, Far Away From Here.
Far Away From All Their Kind.

Dr. Manette
Can I Find This Girl?
Can I Help This Girl?

Boy
No, M'siuer.
God Must Help Her Now.

Marquis
Is He Dead?

Dr. Manette
No. Not Yet.

Marquis
We Need To Know
You'll Never Breathe A Word
Of What You've Seen
Of Anything You've Heard.
You Must Accept The Fee We Wish To Pay.
How Else Can We Be Certain -
How Else Can We Be Sure You Will Obey?

Dr. Manette
I Do Not Want Your Money, Sir

Marquis
But You Must M'siuer...

Dr. Manette
I Will Not Take Your Money, Sir.

Marquis
But You Don't Understand.

Dr. Manette
How Can You Stand There His Blood On My Hands?
How Can You Tell Me That I Should Forget?
I Will Not Rest Til The World Understands
What You Have Done Here This Day.
This Time You're Going To Pay.
I Promise You Gentlemen
This Time It Won't Go Away.

People
Taken Away And Sent To The Bastille.
Seventeen Years He Spent In The Bastille.
Seventeen Years And Where Was The Sister?
Seventeen Years And Where Was The Sister?

Madame Defarge
I Am The Sister That Boy Hid Away.
That Was My Family The Evremondes Killed.
I've Waited Twenty-five Years For This Day.
Dr. Manette May Forget.
Dr. Manette May Forgive.
But This One Survivor Will Never Let Evremonde Live.
All Those Years In The Dark.
All Those Years Biding Time.
This Was Hidden Away Til
The Moment Was Right.
Til The Time Came To Pay,
Out Of Sight,
Out Of Mind.

No One Else In This Whole World
Would Have Me
No One Else On This Whole Earth Could Stand Her
All The Time I Wasted Looking 'round
For Something I'd Already Found.
All The Things That Most Avoid In Life Are
All The Things We've Most Enjoyed In Life And
No One Else But Us Would Feel The Same.
We Don't Mind Sharing The Same House Same Bed, Same Name.
No One Else Could Stand Her Cleanliness, Her Pious Airs, Her Praying Jags.
No One Else Could Stomach My Returning Home With Bodies Stuffed In Bags.
No One Else Could Love Our Home As We Do
For We've Made Our Home As No One Would.
No One Else Could Deal With My Ambition;
Swallow Her Religion Like She Does
I Do
No One Else Can See Quite What I Care For
What I See In Her, The Why And Wherefore
Then Again, There Might Be Two Or Three
Who Wonder What She Sees In Me.
She Ain't Seein' Much With Two Great Big Styes
So I Guess It's Just Meant To Be
She Sees No One Else But Me.
Isn't It A Kick That In A World As Big As This
The Two That No One Else Would Pick Should Find Such Wedded Bliss
And In A World So Big We Easily Could Have Missed
And Ended Up With No One Else.

Carton
My First Card Is An Ace. I'm Certain You'll Agree.
Concerning The Affairs Of A Well-known French Marquis.
Seems Before You Were Spy Of The Prison
You Spent Some Time In His Employ.
Dare I Speak That Foul Name That They've Cursed Straight To Hell?
Whose Unfortunate Nephew Now Sits In A Cell.
Would They Still Let You Live If They Knew Of Your Bond
With The Damned Unforgiveable Marquis Called St. Evremonde?

Barsad
That Card's A Nasty Threat And Very Hard To Beat.
I'd Like To Help You Out,
And Still Remain Discreet.
But I Have Such A Sinking Suspicion You're Thinking Of Breaking Him Out.
Mr. Carton, I Can't Do A Thing For Your Friend.
I'm Afraid That The Debt Must Be Paid In The End.
No Such Thing As Escape From The Fate That He'll Face.
I'd As Soon Take My Chances And Stay Within France's Good Grace.
So Play Your Ace!

I Never Suggested We Would Toy With Notions Of Escape.
I Never Suggested We Would Interfere With Darnay's Fate...

Barsad
Then Tell Me What You're Suggesting?

Carton
A Favor's All That I'm Requesting.
One Meeting, One Interview.
No Tricks, No Traps...

Barsad
No Doubledeal?

Carton
The Last Thing I Want To Do Is Make Him Miss His Final Meal.

Barsad
Then Tell Me Just What You're After?

Carton
If You'll Come Through For Me
My Dreams Come True For Me.
Barsad
You'll Get His Blessing!
His Bedding!

Carton
We'll Ask You To The Wedding!

Barsad
I Knew It All Along
You're Just The Same As Me

Carton
A Low Down Dirty Snake?

Barsad
No Resourceful!

Carton
Now I See?

Both
We're Two Soul Mates From Hell Doing Well
For The Thing That We Sell Fills A Need.
And Who Else Did The Heavens Expect To Survive:
With The Rest Of The World Barely Staying Alive?
Since Dishonesty's Always The Best Hand To Play

Carton
Then I Swear Not To Squeal

Barsad
And You'll See Your Darnay

Both
You And I Have A Deal
For We Both Know There's No Honest Way.

Lucie Manette
How Could You Leave?
Leave Without A Word?
How Could You Do This To Your Own?
Go Out Alone To Save A Stranger
A Distant Memory That Stirred
Weren't We Enough?
All That You Could Want?
Weren't We Enough To Hold You Home?
You Made A Vow To Be With Me
When You Were Never Really Free
But I'll Be Brave
And I'll Be Strong
You'll Never Know From Me That You've Done Something Wrong
And From My Lips
And From My Eyes
I'll Give You Everything I Should
A Loving Wife's Goodbyes
Yes You Love Me
That Much I Can See
Deep In Your Eyes Behind The Fear
I'm Sure You Know That I'm Still Here
No Matter What You've Done I'm Always Here
I'd Follow You
I'd Be Selfish Too
I'd Gladly Join You In The Grave
But I Must Stay And Play My Part
Of Wife And Mother's Broken Heart
For I Was Once
Where She Could Be
Abandoned Young Without A Home Or Family
And Though My Soul
Will Die With You
Our Child Will Not Be Left Alone
To Spend A Lifetime Wondering How
How We Could Do This To Our Own
You Needn't Fear That She'll Be Hurt
She'll Never Know Just What You've Cost Her
How Selfishly You Lost
Her She'll Never Hear Me Ask The Question In My Heart
Tell Me How Could You Leave Leave
Without A Word?

Carton
Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep
I Pray The Lord My Soul To Keep
If I Should Die Before I Wake
I Pray The Lord My Soul To Take
She Mustn't Know The Sorrow
She Mustn't Know The Tears
Tomorrow Mustn't Bring Her
A Future That She Fears
How Many Now Lay Crying?
Their Dreams Will Have To Keep.
How Many Never Have A Chance?
Tonight, Let This One Sleep.
A Child Is Filled With Wonder.
Let This One's Dreams Be Blessed.
Don't Ever Let Her Wonder
If God Might Love Her Less.
She Mustn't Know What We Know
She Mustn't Be So Wise.
There's Time Enough For Her To See
Just Let Her Be A Child
For Now.
She's Still So Small. She'll Never Understand
How People Fail And Lives Break Down
And Don't Turn Out
The Way You Planned
For Now Save Her The Sorrow
For Now Save Her The Tears
Save Grief For Somewhere Years Away Just Not Today; Not Here.
For Now Let Her Be Lucky
For Now Look Down In Grace
Give Her Time To Learn Compassion
Give Her Time To Learn Forgiveness
Help Me Find The Strength To Give This Gift To Her
Only Let Her Be A Child
Let Her Be A Child
Just Let Her Be A Child For Now.

Seamstress
You Are Not Afraid.
All The Others Just Pretend.
It's As If You Would Embrace
The Very End.
You're An Angel, Sir.
You Were Sent To Me By God.

Carton
And Perhaps It's You That God Has Sent To Me.

Seamstress
When I Hold Your Hand; All My Fears Are In The Past.
But When I Let Go Do You Promise They'll Be Fast?

Carton
Like A Lightning Flash
All Your Suffering Will Cease

Seamstress
Will I Find You Again?

Carton
There Can Be No Farewells.
We Will Meet Where The Weary Find Peace
**** I Can't Recall A Sky So Clear

All
The Heavens Seem An Inch Away And Not Unfriendly After All
If Life Was Never Quite This Sweet I Can't Recall

Carton
I Can't Recall A Sky So Clear
All The Heavens Seem An Inch Away And Not Unfriendly After

All
If Life Was Never Quite This Sweet I Can't Recall

It Is A Far Far Better Thing I Do Than I Have Ever Done

It Is A Far Better Rest I Go To Than I Have Ever Known

I Can't Recall
