Musicals - Sunset Boulevard - The Perfect Year Lyrics
NORMARing out the oldRing in the newA midnight wishTo share with youYour lips are warmMy head is lightWere we alive before tonight?I don't need a crowded ballroomEverything I want is hereIf you're with meNext year will beThe perfect yearJOEBefore we playSome dangerous gameBefore we fanSome harmless flameWe have to ask if this is wiseAnd if the game is worth the prizeWith this wine and with this musicHow can anything be clear?Let's wait and seeIt may just beThe perfect yearNORMAIt's New Year's EveAnd hopes are highDance one year inKiss one goodbyeAnother chance, another startSo many dreams to tease the heartWe don't need a crowded ballroomEverything we want is hereAnd face to faceWe will embraceThe perfect yearWe don't need a crowded ballroomEverything we want is hereAnd face to faceWe will embraceThe perfect yearJOESo, what time are they supposed to get here?NORMAWho?JOEThe other guests.NORMAThere are no other guests. Just you and me.I'm in love with you. Surely you know thatJOENorma...NORMAWe'll have a wonderful time next year. I'll have the pool filled up for you.I'll open up my house in Malibu, and you can have the whole ocean.I have enough money to buy us anything we want.JOECut out that "us" business.NORMAWhat's the matter with you?JOEWhat right do you have to take me for granted?NORMAWhat right? Do you want me to tell you?JOENorma, what I am trying to say is that I am the wrong guy for you.You need a big shot, someone with polo ponies, a Valentino...NORMAWhat you're trying to say is, you don't want me to love you. Say it! Say it!JOEMax. Get me a taxi.I had to get outI needed to be with people my own ageTo hear the sound of laughterAnd mix with hungry actorsUnderemployed composersNicotine-poisoned writersReal peopleReal problemsHaving a really good time
