I Still Believe (from Miss Saigon) Lyrics

ELLEN:
Last night I watched him sleeping
my body pressed to him
and
then he started speaking
the name I heard him speak...was Kim
yes I know
that this was years ago
but when moonlight fills my room I know
you are
here... still

KIM:
I still
I still believe 
you will
return
I know you will
my heart
against all odds
holds
still

yes, still
I still believe
I know as long as I can keep
believing, I'll live 
I'll live
love cannot die
you will return
you
will return
and I alone know why

(in a bedroom on the other side of
the world, in America. A woman is
sitting beside CHRIS who is sleeping. She
is ELLEN, CHRIS' s wife)

ELLEN:
last night I watched you
sleeping
once more, the nightmare came
I heard you cry out something
a
word that sounded like... a name
and it hurts me more than I can
bear
knowing part of you I'll never share
never know

but
still
I still believe
the time will come 
when nothing keeps us
apart
my heart, forever more
holds still

(CHRIS wakes up from his
sleep with a cry. ELLEN takes him in her
arms and calms
him)

ELLEN:
it' s all over, I' m here
there is nothing to
fear
Chris, what' s haunting you?
won' t you let me inside
what you so
want to hide!
I need you too!

KIM & ELLEN:
for still 
(I
will hold you all night, I will make it all right)
I still believe as long
as I 
(you are safe with me and I wish you could tell what you don't want to
tell )
can keep believing, I'll live 
(what your hell must be)
I'll
live 
(you can sleep now)
You will return
(you can cry now)
and I
know why 
(I'm your wife now)
I'm yours 
(for life)
until we
die
(until we die)

(In America, CHRIS holds ELLEN; in Vietnam, KIM is
alone in 
her room.)
