#1: Seasons of Love

525,600 minutes
525,000 moments so dear
525,600 minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets
In midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles
In laughter, in strife

In 525,600 minutes
How do you measure a year in the life

How about love? (3x)
Measure in love

Seasons of love
Seasons of love

525,600 minutes
525,000 journeys to plan
525,600 minutes
How do you measure the life of a woman or a man

In truths that she learned
Or in times that he cried
In bridges he burned
Or the way that she died

It’s time now to sing out
Thought the story never ends
Let’s celebrate, remember the year
In the life of friends

Remember the love (3x)
Measure in love

Seasons of love
Seasons of love

#2: I’ll Cover You (reprise)

Live in my house, I’ll be your shelter
Just pay me back with one thousand kisses
Be my lover and I’ll cover you, yeah

Open your door, I’ll be your tenant
Don’t got much baggage, to lay at your feet
But sweet kisses, I’ve got to spare
I’ll be there and I’ll cover you

I think they meant it
When they said you can’t buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are my love
On life, all my life

I’ve longed to discover
Something as true as this is
So with a thousand sweet kisses, I’ll cover you
(If you’re cold and you’re lonely)
With a thousand sweet kisses, I’ll cover you
(You’ve got one nickel only)
With a thousand sweet kisses, I’ll cover you
(When you’re worn out and tired)
With a thousand sweet kisses, I’ll cover you
(When your heart has expired)

Oh lover, I’ll cover you, yeah
Oh lover, I’ll cover you
(525600 minutes)
(525000 seasons of love)

I’ll cover you, oh

#3: Another Day

ROGER
Who do you think you are?
Barging in on me and my guitar
Little girl — hey, the door is that way
You better go you know the fire’s out anyway

Take your powder, take your candle
Your sweet whisper, I just can’t handle
Well take your hair in the moonlight
Your brown eyes — goodbye, goodnight

I should tell you I should tell you
I should tell you I should — no!

Another time, another place
Our temperature would climb
There’d be a long embrace
We’d do another dance, it’d be another play
Looking for romance?
Come back another day
Another day

MIMI
The heart may freeze or it can burn
The pain will ease if I can learn
There is no future, there is no past
I live this moment as my last

There’s only us, there’s only this
Forget, regret, or life is yours to miss
No other road, no other way
No day but today

ROGER
Excuse me if I’m off track
But if you’re so wise, then tell me
Why do you need smack?
Take your needle, take your fancy prayer
And don’t forget, get the moonlight out of your hair
Long ago you might’ve lit up my heart
But the fire’s dead — ain’t never ever gonna start

Another time, another place
The words would only rhyme
We’d be in outer space
It’d be another song, we’d sing another way
You wanna prove me wrong?
Come back another day
Another day

MIMI
There’s only yes, only tonight
We must let go
To know what’s right
No other course, no other way
No day but today

MIMI, COLLINS, ANGEL and MARK

I can’t control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal is just to be

There’s only now
There’s only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today…

ROGER (overlapping)
Control your temper
She doesn’t see
Who says that there’s a soul?
Just let me be…

Who do you think you are?
Barging in on me and my guitar
Little girl, hey
The door is that way
The fire’s out anyway

ALL
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today

ROGER (overlapping)
Take your powder; take your candle
Take your brown eyes, your pretty smile, your silhouette
Another time, another place
Another rhyme, a warm embrace
Another dance, another way
Another chance, another day

#4: Love Heals

Like a breath of midnight air
Like a lighthouse, like a prayer
Like the flicker and the flare, the sky reveals

Like a walk along the shore that you’ve walked a thousand times before
Like the oceans roar
Love heals

There are those who shield their hearts
Those who quit before they start
Who’ve frozen up the part of them that feels
(Don’t freeze your heart)

In the dark they’ve lost their sight
Like a ship without a star in the night
But hold on tight

Love heals
When you feel like you can’t go on
Love heals
Hold on to love, it’ll keep you strong
Love heals
When you feel like you can’t go on
Love heals
Hold on to love, and it will bring you home

Love heals when pain’s too much to bear
When you reach out your hand, and only the wind is there
When life’s unfair, when things like us are not to be

Love heals when you feel so small
Like a grain of sand, like nothing at all
When you look out at the sea, thats where love will be
Thats where you’ll find me, you’ll find me

If you fear the storm ahead
As you lie, you lie awake in bed
And there’s no one, no one
No one there to stroke your head
And your mind, your mind, your mind reels

If your face is salty wet, and you’re drowning in regret, just….

Don’t forget (8x)

Love heals
When you feel like you cant go on
Love heals
Love, love is gonna carry you home
Love heals
When you feel like, when you feel like you can’t go on
Love heals
Hold onto love and it will lead you home

Love… heals!

#5: Without You

Without you
The ground thaws
The rain falls
The grass grows

Without you
The seeds root
The flowers bloom
The children play

The stars gleam
The poets dream
The eagles fly
Without you

The earth turns
The sun burns
But I die
Without you

Without you
The breeze warms
The girl smiles
The cloud moves

Without you
The tides change
The boys run
The oceans crash

The crowds roar
The days soar
The babies cry
Without you

The moon glows
The river flows
But I die
Without you 

The world revives
Colors renew
But I know blue
Only blue
Lonely blue
Within me, blue
Without you 

Without you
The hand gropes
The ear hears
The pulse beats

Without you
The eyes gaze
The legs walk
The lungs breathe

The mind churns
The heart yearns
The tears dry
Without you

Life goes on
But I’m gone
’Cause I die
Without you 

Without you…
