The Perfect Year Lyrics by Nicole Scherzinger, Tom Francis, Andrew Lloyd Webber

SUNSET BLVD: The Album

2024

[NORMA, sung]
Ring out the old, ring in the new
A midnight wish to share with you
Your lips are warm, my heart is light
Were we alive before tonight?
I don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything I want is here
If you're with me
Next year will be
The perfect year

[JOE, sung]
Before we play
Some dangerous game
Before we fan
Some harmless flame
We have to ask
If this is wise
And if the game
Is worth the prize
With this wine and this music
How can anything be clear?
Let's wait and see
It may just be
The perfect year

(NORMA and JOE do silly dances together.)

[NORMA, sung]
It's New Year's Eve
And hopes are high
Dance one year in
Kiss one goodbye
Another chance, another start
So many dreams to tease the heart
We don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything we want is here
And face to face
We will embrace
The perfect year

[JOE, spoken]
What time are they supposed to get here?

[NORMA, spoken]
Who?

[JOE, spoken]
The other guests

[NORMA, spoken]
There... are no other guests. (giggles) Just you and me. I'm in love with you. (beat) Surely, you know that?

[JOE, spoken]
Norma...

[NORMA, spoken]
We'll have a wonderful time next year! I could have the pool filled for you... I could open up my house in Malibu, you could have the whole ocean
I have enough money to get us anything we want—

[JOE, spoken]
—Cut out that 'us' business!

[NORMA, spoken]
What's the matter with you?

[JOE, spoken]
What right do you have to take me for granted?

[NORMA, spoken]
What right? Oh, you want me to tell you?

[JOE, spoken]
Norma. What I'm trying to say is... that I'm the wrong guy for you. You need a big shot. Someone with... polo ponies. A Valentino

[NORMA, spoken]
What you're trying to say is that you don't want me to love you. Say it. Say it!

(NORMA knees JOE in the groin. JOE howls.)

[JOE, sung]
I had to get out
I needed to be with people
My own age
To hear the sound of laughter
And mix with hungry actors
Under-employed composers
Nicotine-poisoned writers
Real people, real problems
Having a really good time
