Into the Fire – The Scarlet Pimpernel

These are just a few lyrics that were in use for a little while, but got changed before becoming part of the “regular” libretto. If you know of any others, please let me know!

You Are My Home

(from beginning of SP2)

Percy

So many years I wandered through this world

• Never quite sure where I should be

  I was alone, but I came home

  The moment you looked up at me

Marguerite

You met my eyes and understood my heart

• I never spoke and still you heard

  Home is the one place in the world

  Where love takes hold without a word

Both

You are my home

• You make me strong

  And in this world of strangers

  I belong to someone

  You are all I know

  You’re all I have

  I won’t let go

Percy

If there is pain, you’ll heal within my touch

Marguerite

Your hands will ease away the fear

Percy

Deep in the cold I’ll keep you warm

Marguerite

When darkness falls, I’ll hold you near

Both

You are my home

• You make me strong

  And in this world of strangers

  I belong to someone

  You are all I know

  You’re all I have

  I won’t let go

Percy

I will not walk away from you

Marguerite

I will not let you go

Both

You’re the only home I’ve ever known

• You are my home

  You make me strong

  And in this world of strangers

  I belong to someone

  You are all I know

  You’re all I have

  I need you so

  I won’t let go

  You are my home

When I Look At You (Reprise)

(from beginning of SP2)

Percy

Let me look at you

• There’s so much to say

Marguerite

Oh, how wonderful

• I look and you don’t turn away

Percy

Now you’ve come home to me

Both

Whatever lies ahead we will embrace

• Face to face

Marguerite

Not just a fantasy

• Now I believe you’re real

Percy

Now when I look into your eyes

• I will not be afraid to feel

Both

Now you know, but then I guess you always knew

• I am so lost in love

  When I look at you
