2. ONCE UPON A DREAM
EMMA
When this all began,
we knew there’d be a price …
Once upon a dream,
we were lost in love’s embrace.
There we found a perfect place,
once upon a dream.
Once there was a time
like no other time before.
Hope was still an open door
once upon a dream.
And I was unafraid,
the dream was so exciting.
But now I see it fade
and I am here alone!
Once upon a dream
you were heaven sent to me.
Was it never meant to be?
Was it just a dream?
Could we begin again
once upon a dream …
JEKYLL
Don’t abandon me now, Emma! For God’s sake …
I have never needed you more! And I do love you!
EMMA
I know that. And I will wait – however long it takes
… and I will pray for you!
When you need me,
if you need me,
you know where I’ll be …
3. OBSESSION
JEKYLL
What streak of madness lies inside of me?
What is the truth my fears conceal?
What evil force makes Edward Hyde of me?
What darker side of me does he reveal?
What is this strange obsession
that’s tearing me apart?
Some strange deranged expression
of what’s in my heart?
Am I the man that I appear to be?
Or am I someone I don’t know?
Is there some monster drawing near to me?
Becoming clear to see?
Will what I fear to be … be so?
4. IN HIS EYES
EMMA
I sit and watch the rain
and see my tears run down the window pane.
LUCY
I sit and watch the sky
and I can hear it breathe a sigh.
EMMA
I think of him, how we were
and when I think of him, then I remember …
BOTH
… remember …
EMMA
In his eyes, I can see
where my heart longs to be.
LUCY
In his eyes I see a gentle glow
and that’s where I’ll be safe, I know.
EMMA
Safe in his arms, close to his heart
LUCY
But I don’t know quite where to start.
EMMA
By looking in his eyes,
will I see beyond tomorrow?
LUCY
By looking in his eyes,
will I see beyond the sorrow that I feel?
EMMA
Will his eyes reveal to me promises or lies?
LUCY
But he can’t conceal from me the love
in his eyes!
EMMA
I know their every look – his eyes!
LUCY
They’re like an open book – his eyes!
EMMA
But most of all …
BOTH
… the look that hypnotized me!
EMMA
If I’m wise, I will walk away – and gladly.
LUCY
But sadly, I’m not wise,
it’s hard to talk away the memory that you prize.
EMMA
Love is worth forgiving for …
LUCY
… now I realize.
BOTH
Everything worth living for
is there, in his eyes.
EMMA
Love is worth forgiving for,
now I realize.
LUCY
Now I realize.
BOTH
Everything worth living for
is there, in his eyes!
5. DANGEROUS GAME
LUCY
I feel your fingers-
Cold on my shoulder-
Your chilling touch,
As it runs down my spine-
Watching your eyes
As they invade my soul-
Forbidden pleasures
I’m afraid to make mine.
At the touch of your hand-
At the sound of your voice-
At the moment your eyes meet mine-
I am out of my mind-
I am out of control-
Full of feelings I can’t define!
HYDE
It’s a sin with no name-
LUCY
Like a hand in a flame-
HYDE
And our senses proclaim
HYDE/LUCY
It’s a dangerous game!
HYDE
A darker dream-
That has no ending-
That’s so unreal
You believe that it’s true!
A dance of death-
Out of a mystery tale-
The frightened princess
Doesn’t know what to do!
Will the ghosts go away?-
LUCY
No …
HYDE
Will she will them to stay?
LUCY
No …
HYDE
Either way, there’s no way to win!
LUCY
All I know is, I’m lost
HYDE:
No …
LUCY
And I’m counting the cost
HYDE
No …
LUCY
My emotions are in a spin!
I don’t know who to blame…
HYDE
It’s a crime and a shame!
LUCY
But it’s true, all the same
HYDE/LUCY
It’s a dangerous game!
No one speaks-
Not one word-
But what words are in our eyes
Silence speaks
Loud and clear-
All the words we (don’t) want to hear!
At the touch of your hand-
At the sound of your voice-
At the moment your eyes meet mine-
I am losing my mind-
I am losing control-
Fighting feelings I can’t define!
LUCY
It’s a sin with no name-
HYDE
No remorse and no shame-
Fire, fury and flame!
LUCY
‘Cause the devil’s to blame!
HYDE/LUCY
And the angels proclaim
It’s a dangerous game!
6. FACADE (Reprise 3)
THE SPIDER w/ ENSEMBLE
If you live around here,
lotsa people, I fear,
will make promises
they will not honour, my dear.
An’ the truth is,
you end up getting scarred!
There’s a beast at the door
and he’s wild and he’s free,
but we don’t let him in
cause we don’t want to see
What is lurking
right behind the facade!
7. THE WAY BACK
JEKYLL
Somehow I have to get back
to the place where my journey started.
Find the course I charted
when I first departed.
Somehow I have to hang on
to the vision that first inspired me,
to the hope that fired me
when the world admired me!
I’ll find a way back to the higher ground!
And see the view I saw before.
I’ll search the world until the answer’s found!
Turn my despair around forevermore!
Somehow I have to rebuild
all the dreams that the wind have scattered.
From what fate has shattered –
I’ll retrieve what mattered!
Somehow I’ve got to go on
till the evil has been defeated,
till my work’s compleated –
I will not be cheated!
God! You must help me carry on!
When it seems all hope has gone,
I have got to carry on!
8. A NEW LIFE
LUCY
A new life
What I wouldn’t give
to have a new life!
One thing I have learned
as I go through life:
nothing is for free along the way!
A new start,
that’s the thing I need
to give me new heart.
Half a chance in life
to find a new part,
just a simple role that I can play!
A new hope,
something to convince me
to renew hope!
A new day,
bright enough
to help me find my way!
A new chance,
one that maybe has
a touch of romance.
Where can it be –
the chance for me?
A new dream –
I have one I know
that very few dream.
I would like to see
that overdue dream –
even though it never may come true!
A new love –
though I know
there’s no such thing as true love –
even so,
although I never knew love,
still I feel that one dream
is my due!
A new world –
this one thing I want
to ask of you, world!
Once – before it’s time
to say Adieu, world!
One sweet chance
to prove the cynics wrong!
A new life –
more and more I’m sure
as I go through life,
just to play the game
and to pursue life –
just to share its pleasures and belong!
That’s what I’ve been here for
all along!
Each day’s
a brand new life!
9. CONFRONTATION
JEKYLL
Lost in the darkness,
Silence surrounds you.
Once there was morning,
Now endless night.
I will find the answer.
I’ll never desert you-
I promise you this-
Till the day that I…
HYDE
Do you really think
That I would ever let you go?
Do you think I’d ever set you free?
If you do, I’m sad to say,
It simply isn’t so.
You will never get away from me!
JEKYLL
All that you are
Is a face in the mirror!
I close my eyes, and you’ll dissapear!
HYDE
I’m what you face
When you face in the mirror!
Long as you live, I will still be here!
JEKYLL
All that you are
Is the end of a nightmare!
All that you are is a dying scream!
After tonight,
I shall end this demon dream!
HYDE
This is not a dream, my friend-
And it will never end!
This one is the nightmare that goes on!
Hyde is here to stay,
No matter what you may pretend-
And I’ll flourish, long after you’re gone!
JEKYLL
Soon you will die,
And my silence will hide you!
You cannot choose but to loose control
HYDE
You can’t control me!
I live deep inside you!
Each day you’ll feel me devour your soul!
JEKYLL
I don’t need you to survive,
As you need me!
I’ll become whole
As you dance with death!
And I’ll rejoice
As you breathe your final breath!
HYDE
For I’ll live inside you forever!
JEKYLL
No!
HYDE
With Satan himself by my side!
JEKYLL
No!
HYDE
And I know that, now and forever,
They’ll never be able to separate
Jekyll from Hyde!
JEKYLL
Can’t you see
It’s over now?
It’s time to die!
HYDE
No, not I!
Only you!
JEKYLL
If I die,
You die too!
HYDE
You’ll die in me,
I’ll be you!
JEKYLL
Damn you, Hyde!
Set me free!
HYDE
Can’t you see,
You are me?
JEKYLL
No!
Deep inside -!
HYDE
I am you!
You are Hyde!
JEKYLL
No – never!
HYDE
Yes, forever!
JEKYLL
God damn you, Hyde!
Take all your evil deeds,
And rot in hell!
HYDE
I’ll see you there, Jekyll!
JEKYLL
Never!
10. FACADE (Reprise 4)
SOLOISTS
There’s a beast at the door
and he’s wild and free.
But we won’t let him in,
cause we don’t want to see
what is lurking
right behind the facade.
ENSEMBLE
Man is not one but two,
he is evil and good
and he walks the fine line
we’d all cross, if we could.
And he’s waiting,
he’s just waiting …
11. FINALE
EMMA
Rest now, my tormented love!
You are free now …
You’re with me now
where you’ll always be …
