MARIE:
DEEP VOICED MAN:
Heart, don't fail me now
Dancing bears, painted wings

VLADMIR: Learn to Do it (Waltz Reprise)
It's one, two, three and suddenly Paris Holds the Key (To Your Heart)

We were strangers starting out on a journey
On the wind, 'cross the sea
Hear this song and remember

Soon you'll be home with me
Once upon a December
Lyrics Submitted by: Gabriella | Top
St. Petersburg is gloomy
OLD LADY:
St. Petersburg is bleak
FREEZING MAN:
My underwear got frozen
Standing here all week
TOWNSPEOPLE:
Oh, since the revolution
Our lives have been so grave!
Thank goodness for the gossip
That gets us through the day
Hey!
Have you heard?
There's a rumor in St. Petersburg
Have you heard?
What they're saying on the streets
MAN:
Although the Czar did not survive
One daughter may be still alive!
TOWNSPEOPLE:
The princess Anastasia!
MAN:
But please do not repeat!
TOWNSPEOPLE:
It's a rumor, a legend, a mystery
Something whispered in an alleyway
Or through a crack
It's a rumor thats part of our history
SNEAKY LADY:
They say her royal grand-mama
Will pay a royal sum
TOWNPEOPLE:
To someone who can bring the princess back!
MALE DEALER:
A ruble for this painting
It's Romanov, I swear!
FEMALE DEALER:
Count Yusopov's pajamas
Comrades, buy the pair
MALE DEALER 2:
I got these from the palace
It's lined with real fur
DIMITRI & DEALERS:
It could be worth a fortune
If it belonged to her
DIMITRI:
It's the rumor
The legend, the mystery
It's the Princess Anastasia
Who will help us fly
You and I friend
Will go down in history!
We'll find a girl to play the part
And teach her what to say
Dress her up and take her to Paris
Imagine the reward her dear old grand-mama will pay
Who else could pull it off but you and me?
We'll be rich!
VLAD:
We'll be rich!
DIMITRI:
We'll be out!
VLAD:
We'll be out!
BOTH:
And St. Petersburg will have some more to talk about
TOWNS PEOPLE:
Shh!
Have you heard there's a rumor in St. Petersburg?
Have you heard what they're saying on the street?
Hey! hey! hey!
Have you heard there's a rumor in St. Petersburg?
Have you heard? Comrades, what do you suppose?
A fascinating mystery
DIMITRI:
The biggest con in history!
TOWNS PEOPLE:
The Princess Anastasia
Alive or dead?
MAN:
Who knows?
Shh!

Courage, don't desert me
Don't turn back now that we're here
People always say
Life is full of choices
No one ever mentions fear
Or how the world can seem so vast
On a journey to the past
Somewhere down this road
I know someone's waiting
Years of dreams just can't be wrong
Arms will open wide
I'll be safe and wanted
Finally home where I belong
Well, starting now I'm learning fast
On this journey to the past
Home, love, family
There was once a time I must have had them too
Home, love, family
I will never be complete until I find you
One step at a time
One hope then another
Who knows where this road may go?
Back to who I was
On to find my future
Things my heart still needs to know
Yes, let this be a sign!
Let this road be mine!
Let it lead me to my past!
And bring me home at last!

Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
Lyrics Submitted by: Melly M. | Top
In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning
And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be
It scared me out of my wits
A corpse falling to bits
Then I opened my eyes and the nightmare was me
I was once the most mystical man in all Russia
(Ooh ah ooh)
When the royals betrayed me they made a mistake
(Ooh ah ooh)
My curse made each of them pay
But one little girl got away
Little Anya, beware, Raputin's awake
MINIONS:
In the dark of the night evil will find her
In the dark of the night, just before dawn
RASPUTIN:
Revenge will be sweet
RASPUTIN & MINIONS:
When the curse is complete
In the dark of the night
RASPUTIN:
She'll be gone!
I can feel that my powers are slowly returning
Tie my sash and a dash of cologne for that smell!
As the pieces fall into place
I'll see her crawl into place
Dasvidanya, Anya, your grace, farewell
MINIONS:
In the dark of the night terror will smite her
RASPUTIN:
Terror's the least I can do
MINIONS:
In the dark of the night evil will brew
RASPUTIN & MINIONS:
Soon she will feel
RASPUTIN:
That her nightmares are real
MINIONS:
In the dark of the night
RASPUTIN:
She'll be through
MINIONS:
In the dark of the night evil will find her
(Find her)
In the dark of the night terror comes true
(Doom her)
RASPUTIN:
My dear, here's a sign
RASPUTIN & MINIONS:
It's the end of the line!
MINIONS:
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night
RASPUTIN:
Come, my minions
Rise for your master
Let your evil shine
MINIONS:
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night
RASPUTIN:
Find her now, yes, fly ever faster
MINIONS:
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night
RASPUTIN:
She'll be mine!

You were born in a palace by the sea
ANASTASIA:
A palace by the sea
Could it be?
VLADMIR:
Yes, that's right!
You rode horseback when you were only three
ANASTASIA:
Horseback riding? Me?
VLADMIR:
And the horse
DIMITRI:
He was white!
VLADMIR:
You made faces and terrorized the cook
DIMITRI:
Threw him in the brook!
ANASTASIA:
Was I wild?
DIMITRI:
Wrote the book!
VLADMIR:
But you'd behave when your father gave that look
DIMITRI:
Imagine how it was
VLADMIR:
Your long forgotten past
VLADMIR & DIMITRI:
We've lots and lots to teach you
And the time is going fast
ANASTASIA:
Alright, I'm ready
VLADMIR:
Now, shoulders back and stand up tall
DIMITRI:
And do not walk but try to float
ANASTASIA:
I feel a little foolish
Am I floating?
VLADMIR:
Like a little boat
DIMITRI:
You give a bow
ANASTASIA:
What happens now?
VLADMIR:
Your hand receives a kiss
VLADMIR & DIMITRI:
Most of all remember this
VLADMIR:
If I can learn to do it
You can learn to do it
DIMITRI:
Something in you knows it
VLADMIR:
There's nothing to it
Follow in my footsteps
Shoe by shoe
VLADMIR & DIMITRI:
You can learn to do it too
VLADMIR:
Now, elbows in and sit up straight
DIMITRI:
And never slurp the stroganoff
ANASTASIA:
I never cared for stroganoff
VLADMIR:
She said that like a Romanoff
DIMITRI:
The Samovar
VLADMIR:
The Caviar
ANASTASIA:
Dessert and then goodnight?
VLADMIR & DIMITRI:
Not until you get this right
VLADMIR:
If I can learn to do it
DIMITRI:
If he can learn to do it
VLADMIR:
You can learn to do it
DIMITRI:
You can learn to do it
VLADMIR:
Pull yourself together
VLADMIR & DIMITRI:
And you'll pull through it
VLADMIR:
Tell yourself it's easy
VLADMIR & DIMITRI:
And it's true
You can learn to do it too
VLADMIR:
Next, we memorize the names of the royalty
Now, here we have Kropotkin
DIMITRI:
Shot Potemkin
VLADMIR:
In the Botkin
ANASTASIA:
Oh!
VLADMIR:
And dear old uncle Vanya
Loved his Vodka
DIMITRI:
Got it, Anya?
ANASTASIA:
No!
VLADMIR:
The Baron Porshkin
ANASTASIA:
He was?
DIMITRI:
Short!
VLADMIR:
Count Anatoly
ANASTASIA:
Had a...
DIMITRI:
Wart!
VLADMIR:
Count Sergei
DIMITRI:
Wore a feathered hat
VLADMIR:
I hear he's gotten very fat
ANASTASIA:
And I recall his yellow cat!
VLADMIR:
I don't believe we told her that
ANASTASIA:
If you can learn to do it
I can learn to do it
VLADMIR:
Don't know how you knew it
ANASTASIA:
I simply knew it
Suddenly I feel like someone new
VLADMIR & DIMITRI:
Anya, you're a dream come true
VLADMIR & DIMITRI & (ANASTASIA):
If I can learn to do it
(If I can learn to do it)
You can learn to do it
(You can learn to do it)
VLADMIR:
Pull yourself together
ALL:
And you'll pull through it
VLADMIR:
Tell yourself it's easy
ALL:
And it's true
You can learn to do it
ANASTASIA:
Nothing to it
ALL:
You can learn to do it too!

I see it at a glance
She's radiant and confident
And born to take this chance
I taught her well
I planned it all
I just forgot romance!
Vlad, how could you do this?
How will we get through this?
I never should have let them dance

Never dreaming what we壇 have to go through
Now here we are and I知 suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me
This is the start
And life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I値l be there when the world stops turning
I値l be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
And life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I値l be there when the world stops turning
I値l be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Knew there was somebody, somewhere
Like me, alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I致e been waiting so long
Nothing痴 gonna tear us apart
And life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I値l be there when the world stops turning
I値l be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep going on
Starting out on a journey...
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
