On flights home, listening to cast recording especially Answer Me. Already imagining my imaginary boyfriend and I entering our wedding to this song. Can’t find lyrics transcribed on-line. Anyone have ‘em.?

Here I am, here I am and the light is dying
Where are you? Where are you? Will you answer me?
All alone in the quiet, ah my ears are thirsty
For your voice, for your voice; can you answer me?

If I try, maybe I can see your shadow
In the sodium light that masquerades as moon
If I try, I might take off like a sparrow
And I'll travel along a guiding breeze

Very soon, very soon, that's the sound of longing
Are you there? Are you there? Will you answer me?

In my dreams, my beloved lies beside me
When the sun lights the room, I find it's only me

Only me, only me, with the world around me
(Only you and the sun is gone, only me when the moon is)
Only you, when the sun and moon and stars are gone, what's left is only you
Will you answer me? Answer me.


"Contentment, it seems, simply happens. It appears accompanied by no bravos and no tears."

Gypsy101, thank you, thank you, thank you. I may or may not have just sobbed all over my first class seat. Will you marry me?
