The Fall Lyrics by Jeff Lynne

Xanadu (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

0

If only there were a book. A magic book!
That listed all the locations in Los Angeles and had their phone numbers next to it
Sonny: Yeah!
Kira: And if that book had pages the color of amber!
Sonny: I know! I’ll look it up in the phone book!
Kira: My god! You’re brilliant!
Sonny: It’s ringing!
She walks in, I'm suddenly a hero
I'm taken in, my hopes begin to rise
Kira:
Look at me, can't you tell I'd be so
Thrilled to see the message in your eyes
Sonny:
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there
Kira:
Suddenly--
Both:
The wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
'Cos I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you
Sonny:
Oh, hi. My name is Sonny Malone and
I’d like to rent this large auditorium for an event I’m planning
Yeah, I can be there in five minutes. Where are you? Got it
Ok, so take Melrose, uh-huh, past La Cienega. Uh-huh, then past La Brea
. .
And how can I feel you're all that matters
I'd rely on anything you say
Kira:
I'll take care that no illusions shatter
If you dare to say what you should say
Sonny:
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there
Kira:
Suddenly--
Both:
The wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
'Cos I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you
Sonny: Kira, let’s go talk to the landlord of this place
He has an office in Downtown, L.A
Kira: Downtown, L.A.?
Sonny: Don’t worry!
You make me feel so invincible I feel like I could go into Downtown, L.A. without a weapon!
Why do I feel so alive when you're near
There's no way any hurt can get
Both:
Longing to spend
Every moment of the day with you--
With you
Kira:
Suddenly--
Both:
The wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
'Cos I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you
You!
