New Ways to Dream

 from the musical West 6th street boulevard

played to the tune of "New Ways to Dream" from Sunset Boulevard the musical

I don't know why I'm frightened

I know my way around here

The reference desk, the carpet squares , the silence here...

Yes, a world to rediscover

But I 'm not in any hurry

And I need a moment

 

The whispered conversations in the workroom

The atmosphere as thrilling here as always

Feed the early morning donuts

Feel the magic in the making

Why, everything's as if we never said goodbye

 

I've spent so many mornings just trying to deserve you

I'm trembling now, you can't know how I've missed you

Missed the email inquiry adventure

In this electronic spinning playground

We were young together

 

I'm coming out of the cot room

The lights already burning

Not long until the patrons will start yearning...

And the early morning madness

And the magic in the making

Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye

 

I don't want to be alone

That's all in the past

This world's waited long enough

I've come home at last!

 

And this time will be bigger

And brighter than we knew it

So watch me stay awake, we all know I can do it...

Could I stop my hand from shaking?

Has there ever been a moment

With so much to live for?

 

The whispered conversations in the cubicles

So much to say not just today but always...

We'll have early morning coffee

We'll have magic in the making

Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye

Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye...

We taught the world new ways to dream!
