You never listen Lyrics by Frank Wildhorn and Steve Cuden

Rudolf - the Last Kiss

0

[Rudolf]
(spoken) You never listen...
(sung) Why can’t you hear me?
You see a man
You understand
So perfectly
But it is not me
But I was barely six or seven
I’d see standing you in the doorway
You were the tallest giant in the world
A smile from meant more than I can say
[Franz-Joseph]
I ask, with children’s life is simple?
A little boy just wants to love you
Then the little boy grows older
And drifts away a little more each day
Isn’t it strange
How nothing can change
Still, everything’s different
Sad, but it’s true
[Rudolf]
Not all the different
When one is waiting
Standing around with
Nothing to do
[Franz-Joseph]
Come now, dear Rudolf
Count your blessings
Isn’t life grand?
Isn’t life sweet?
[Rudolf]
Maybe for some
But life can be numb
And incomplete
[Franz-Joseph]
You are too headstrong
[Rudolf]
You are so stubborn
Why don’t you listen?
[Franz-Joseph]
Why can’t you hear?
[Rudolf]
Why do we argue?
[Franz-Joseph]
We never argue!
[Rudolf]
We disagree
[Franz-Joseph]
But God, we’re sincere
[Rudolf]
Shall we agree to disagree then?
[Franz-Joseph]
Isn’t life sweet? Isn’t life grand?
[Rudolf]
Shall you then die
Of gingerly try to understand?
[Franz-Joseph]
Let’s begin again together
You with me, and me with you
As your father, son
I’ve already done
All the things that a loyal son must do
[Rudolf]
But the world has changed around you
That was then and this is now
There is more you see
Then what used be
And there’s so much I need to
And so little time to find out how
A father and his son can reach forever
What mothers and their daughters will embrace
[Franz-Joseph]
Year after year keep shaking your hand
So is this what we do when finally stand
Face to face?
[Both]
Let’s begin again together
You and me, and me with you
[Franz-Joseph]
Reassert the past!
[Rudolf]
Move ahead at last!
[Both]
Do the things that a modern man must do
Let’s begin again together
Like a father and his son
[Rudolf]
There is more to me
Then you seem to see
[Franz-Joseph]
Yes, there’s much to me and you
[Rudolf]
Yes, so much growing to be done
Somehow, you’re always near me
Some day I pray you’ll hear me
[Both]
We are the man who we become
