New Ways to Dream (Reprise)

When we met, she was a child

Barely sixteen

Awkward and yet

She had an air

I've never seen

I knew I'd found

My perfect face

Deep in her eyes

New ways to dream

And we inspired

New ways to dream

Talkies came

I stayed with her

Took up this life

Threw away fame

Please understand

She was my wife

We had achieved far more than most

We gave the world new ways to dream

Everyone needs new ways to dream

Are you saying you were married to her?

I was the first husband

So I play this game

Keeper of the flame

Sharing with her one last dream

Don't you think I knew it never could come true?

She'll be the very last one to surrender

I will not allow her to surrender
