Love Never Dies Lyrics

Dear Old Friend

Meg: 5, 6, a-5, 6, 7, 8

Girls: Bathing beauty, on the beach
Bathing beauty, say hello
What a cutie, what a peach
Bathing beauty, watch her go

Man: Alright, Meg, take 5, girls, take it one more time

Girls: Bathing beauty, on the beach

Giry: Very nice, Meg

Meg: Do you think so, mother, really?

Giry: You've come a long way since the beginning of the season

Meg: Does he agree?
It's been three months, he never comes to see the show
Even a word from him, just one

Giry: You may get more than that
He has been composing again, late at night
Not this cheap Vaudeville trash, something glorious

Meg: For, for me?

Giry: Continue to work hard
Make yourself useful to him

Gustave: Mother

Christine: Patience, Gustave, first I must find the stage manager,
My dressing room, the musical director

Gustave: Then we'll go look for our friend and go see the island?

Christine: I'm sure he'll send for you when he's ready
Well, excuse me, miss, would you mind?

Meg: Heaven help me, could it be?
No, it couldn't possibly

Christine: Sorry, do I-?

Meg: Yes, I think you do

Christine: Have we-?

Meg: Go on, take a guess

Christine: Wait, it can't be, is it-?

Meg: Yes

Christine: Oh, my God, I can't believe it's you

Meg: Look at you, Christine
Regal as a queen and beautiful

Christine: Meg, and you as well
I could hardly tell it's you

Both: My dear old friend
Can't believe you're here, old friend

Christine: After all this time

Meg: So glad you came

Christine: You look sublime

Meg: You look the same

Both: My sweet old friend
Never thought we'd meet, old friend

Christine: Look at you, a star

Meg: And you, a wife

Both: And isn't life a splendid thing?

Christine: And here we are

Meg: To see the sights

Christine: And sing

Meg: To sing?

Christine: And of course, as a treat for my son
Meg, meet Gustave

Meg: Who hired you to sing here?

Raoul: You

Giry: It can't be you

Raoul: Is this a jest?

Giry: How can this be?

Raoul: We've come to work

Giry: At whose request?

Raoul: The contract's here

Giry: I want to see
My God, the price

Raoul: It's rather high

Giry: Why, it's absurd

Raoul: Oh, yes, I know
Inform your boss
That by the by
The fee goes up
Or else we go

Both: My dear old friend
Here's how things appear, old friend

Giry: He who pays the bill

Raoul: Times two or three

Giry: Be sure he will

Raoul: And handsomely

All: And dear old friend
Now that we are clear, old friend

Giry: That's all very well but till you're gone
You'll wait upon my boss' whim

Raoul: Ah, yes, your boss and who is that?

Giry: It's him

Meg: Sorry, did I hear you right?
Here to sing

Christine: Tomorrow night

Meg: I'm afraid there must be some mistake
You can't be performing

Christine: Why?

Meg: Mainly, dear 'cause so am I
I'm in fact the star, for heaven's sake
What are you to sing?

Christine: Just one little thing, an aria
Please you needn't fret
I'm sure you will get your due

Raoul: Him?

Giry: That's what I said

Raoul: You work for him?

Giry: Now so do you

Raoul: And my poor wife
We thought him dead
She'll be appalled

Giry: Unless she knew

Christine: Darling, please, are you alright?

Raoul: Tell me now, that music, who was its creator?

Christine: Darling, please don't squeeze so tight

Raoul: Something's going on here, I'll deal with you later

Meg: Did you know?

Giry: How could I know
Why would they come?

Meg: Why won't they go?

All: My dear old friend
Can't believe you're here, old friend

Giry: Speaking as your host

Meg: As an artist

Christine: What a surprise

Raoul: To say the least

All: Yes, dear old friend
That's a happy tear, old friend
I can't conceal, try though I may
The way I feel so I pretend
I'm sure it's clear
To such a dear old friend

Giry: You mustn't stay

Christine: Why would I leave?

Raoul: Why are we here?

Meg: Don't play naive

All: What dear old friends
Don't we all revere old friends?

Raoul: Nothing has been changed

Meg: And never will

All: Just rearranged
And yet we're still
Such grand old friends
Such devoted and old friends
Words cannot suggest
What's in my heart
And for the rest
Why even start?

Your dear old friends
So much longer near, old friends
Back again at last
With everyone
Isn't this great
Won't this be fun?
With dear old friends
Utterly sincere old friends

Meg: Honey, break a leg

Raoul: Madame, good day

Giry: Enjoy your stay

Christine: Hope it extends

All: So glad you're here
A lovely dear old friend
Old friend

Christine: Gustave, Gustave, Gustave?

Raoul: Must we always be chasing after the boy?
I promise you, when I find him

Christine: No, I will look for him

Man: Break's over, Meg, back to work

Meg: A-5, 6, 7, 8

Meg and Girls:
Bathing beauty, on the beach
Bathing beauty, say hello
What a cutie, what a peach
Bathing beauty, watch her go
