[lyrics]: A Little Princess (Off-Broadway)
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
ladycrystallineSo, I've been obsessed with broadway musicals for a while and came across this one musical that was based off of one of my favorite princess books, A Little Princess. Andrew Lippa's interpretation/adaptation of this classic story was brilliantly put together (imho). I love many songs from this soundtrack and was sadden to find that there were no lyrics for any of the songs on the internet. So, I decided to listen and type them out. They are not 100% correct, so if you know the official lyrics, pleaseee PLEASE don't hesitate to correct me.
This is an on-going edited post so some lyrics are not yet provided. Also, these are song I like from the show.
Soon, My Love
Crewe:
Soon, my love, you must be going
Soon, my love, you must away
What awaits us, there’s no knowing
Still there’s hope with every day
Guide your memories, bare them with you
Learn the things you love by heart
Soon, my love
I’ll share them with you
In lands unknown and worlds apart
Chorus:
Soon the ship will take to waters
Anchors up and sails unfurl
Soon before the day grows hotter
Traveling to another world
Crewe:
Off from Saint-Louis, in the blazing sun
Through the open sea, where the dolphins run
Then a London key, and you’re almost done
Comes so far
Part of you is left somewhere far behind
Part of you erect, Part of you resign.
Part of you hoping to find your star.
Chorus:
Soon a whole new life is starting
What’s to come?
We wait and learn!
Sara:
Who can say how long we’re parting
Or how long till I return?
What if I go and don’t make any friends?
What if I’m homesick?
What then?
What if you’re wounded or missing or worse?
And I’ll never see you again?
[Speaking intermission]
Crewe:
Drummers in the rain, candles in the snow
Fields of sugar cane, where it doesn’t grow
Through the windowpane, scenes from long ago
Heed them all
Glimpse of lion’s mane, down by Pimlico
In Saint Martin’s Lane, Water buffalo
Somehow, I’ll answer your call
Soon, my love
You’ll tire of crying
Time will cast its magic spell
Chin up, darling leave all sighing
Au revoir mademoiselle…
[Speaking intermission]
Goodbye, my child!
Sara:
Drummers in the rain, candles in the snow
Fields of sugar cane, where it doesn’t grow!
Together:
And fare thee well…
Another World
It’s like another world
A world above it all
It’s closer to the sun
Who sleeps just down the hall
It’s like another world
As quiet as you please
Those clouds may carry us
Let’s catch one in the trees
It’s like another world
Where we can always be at ease
~
The rooftops are a moor that runs for miles
And no one’s really sure what lies beneath the tiles
The doves are ponies here they’re waiting just outside
They’re from another world
Hop on and have a ride!
Those chimneys over there are huge cigars
They puff into the air, the sun and moon and stars
It’s like another world and when the sun is faint
The factory shiver in their shabby coats of paint
~
And when it rains the little rain drops take such pains
To pitter-patter something awfully nice
A laughing matter is repeated twice
And when it’s done
Sometimes a rainbow starts towards the sun
It climbs up onto that cathedral dome
And heads for home
~
It’s like another world
A nursery rhyme
A dream that comes unfurled a little at a time
It’s like another world but under one big sky
Somewhere papa can see
The sun that shines on me
And from another world he’ll come for me
But by and by
~
I’m from another world
This attic isn’t mine
However close the sun
She does not want to shine
I’m from another world and even if I brag
Those clouds will never come to carry me away
I dream another world
But dreams don’t last the day
I love another world but be it as it may
I fear this attic world
May be the world where I shall stay
If The Tables Were Turned
Becky:
If our tables was turned
You’d be scolded and spurned,
but you don’t let it spoil your day
I’d be going to class, pass a whistling lass
Busy scrubbing the passageway
And you’d give me a smile forget for a while that there’s Miss Minchin to keep at bay
If our tables was turned
You’d be nice as a cold parfait
If our tables was turned
For as I was concerned
I’d be kindly as I could be
Sara:
I’d be worked off my feet, just a muffin to eat
Becky:
Leaves you ‘ungry to eat with me
Cuz I called you by name, don’t put you to shame
Sometimes I’d brings you a cup of tea
If our tables was turned, I’d have buckets of pedigree
~
And I’d have a dad who’s bona fide, and an officer beside
And he travels with me far and wide
Sara:
And he’d have a different life indeed
But we’d be the same within our hearts, we’re counterparts
Together:
And that’s how friendships starts it’s guaranteed
Becky:
If our tables was turned
Once me lessons was learned, I’d be back in a flash to ‘ear
Sara:
I’d remention the post, serving girls tea and toast
Then we’d meet while the coast is clear
Sara:
Though we’d have a different life indeed
Becky:
As far I as I can see, we’d still be you and me
Sara:
Still we’d be the same in our hearts, we’re counterparts
Together:
And that’s how friendships starts it’s guaranteed
Sara:
If the tables were turned
I’d be scolded and spurned
I’d be ordered to bow all day
I’d be worked off my feet next to nothing to eat
Till I’m hungry to eat and play
Becky:
If our tables was turned
For as I was concerned
I’d be kindly as I could be
I’d be going to class, pass a whistling lass
Busy scrubbing the passageway
Together:
As I think we agree your perfect as me
And vice versa I have to say
Let the tables be turned!
Sara:
We’ll find our way
If the tables were turned
Becky:
If we could turn the tide
We’ll be the same inside
Together:
If the tables were turned!
Live Out Loud
I don't want to go along with the crowd
Don't want to live life under a cloud
Give me some air and space
And sun on my face
I want to live out loud
Don't want to be alone in the crowd
Don't want to seem peculiar and proud
I need to be as free
As I know how to be
I want to live out loud
Every day - sleep, walk, lock, step
No one dares to stray
Though they may - straightlaced, shamefaced
Long to break away
They're as lonely as can be
Is that what they want from me?
I don't want to go along with the crowd
Don't want to live life under a cloud
Give me some air and space
And sun on my face
I want to live out loud
Don't want to be alone in the crowd
Don't want to seem peculiar and proud
Nobody wants me here
But I won't be disappear
I want to live out loud
I want to run down an open shoreline
I want to join in a moonlit dance
I want to swing with the branches of a tree
I want to bathe in a hidden inlet
And let the breeze come and dry my hair
I want the life they took away from me
If that makes me headstrong - fine!
That's a fault I'm glad is mine.
I don't want to go along with the crowd
Don't want my spirit broken and bowed
Why do I have to hide what I'm feeling inside
I want to live out loud
Don't want to be alone in the crowd
I only want what I'm not allowed
Give me the wings of a bird
I'll be seen and be heard
I want to sing when my heart is full
I want to sing and I want to fly
I want to soar the sky without a cloud
I want to live out loud
