Miss Saigon - Please lyrics

JOHN

i'm not here as a friend


i have a job to do

it's strange to find my work

should lead me here to you

chris knows all about you

i have shown him all this

but i think that it's time

you know all about chris



KIM

please - don't you see that's all i live for?

i have him and nothing more

at night, everything that's not him

disappears behind my door



JOHN

please - he went crazy when he lost you

spoke to no one for a year

then he finally said "i'm home now

my life has to go on here"

please -

let me finish talking, please

this was three whole years ago



KIM

yes!

yes, i know

i know how pain can grow

when the rock you hold onto

is a love miles away

listen, please, i already know this story

take us to the u.s.a.



JOHN

when we finish here, you'll see him

chris arrived with me today!



KIM

oh tam! he's here!

he is here, he's so near we might breathe the same air

tonight

your father's here.



KIM (JOHN)

oh tam, it's true (i can't tell her like this)

my dream was right! (i should not be the one)

you'll see him soon (chris must come see his son)



please (they don't say in the files)

don't you see we've been watched over? (there's a woman in love here)

as we crossed the wildest seas (what sustained her for miles)

even god wants us together (chris still knows nothing of)



BOTH

can i end this journey

please?



(JOHN, unable to tell KIM the truth, returns to the hotel to inform CHRIS and ELLEN of the impossible situation.)
