When the Booth Goes Bright Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Amélie

Amélie (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2017

[NINO]
What do you see when the booth goes bright
When the blinding light of the flash tries to find you
Every photo, of every face, is a time and place
That you leave behind
There's the girl you were, there's your trip abroad
There's your father's smile, there's the face of god!
There is everything that you were, and you still wanna be
What do you see?
When the booth goes bright
There's a girl from the factory and she's on your knee
Though you've known her a week
And your both so shy, but she makes you laugh
In that photograph, when she kisses your cheek
There's when she said yes, there's the next 10 years
There's the loneliness when she disappears
There's the face that you still remember
Though no longer know
Where do you go?
[NINO]
What happens when the booth goes bright?
[NINO & JOSEPH]
Where do you go when you're out of view?
[NINO & AMÉLIE]
What's the use in trying to hide?
[NINO & JOSEPH]
Or tearing yourself in two?
[NINO, HIPOLITO, JOSEPH, & GEORGETTE]
When you leave yourself behind
[NINO]
Every piece becomes another clue
Pull the curtain tight
And adjust the seat
[NINO & COMPANY]
Lean into the light
[NINO]
Don't forget to breathe
And if someday your travels should bring you to me
I'll see what you see
When the booth goes bright!
When the booth goes bright!
When the booth goes bright!
