[Intro – Male Lead, Playful Piano] The curtains fell, the crowd is gone But something tells me we're not done One empty map, a thousand roads And one more dream I haven't shown [Female Lead – Spoken] "You wanted to see me?" [Male Lead – Spoken] "I have an offer." [Female Lead] "An offer? For me?" [Male Lead] "To take this show around the world." [Female Lead] "And what exactly do I get?" [Verse 1 – Playful Negotiation, Piano and Upright Bass] [Male Lead] A hundred cities, lights of gold A thousand stories yet untold [Female Lead] That sounds delightful, sounds divine But tell me, darling, what's my slice? [Male Lead] Ten percent! [Female Lead] One hundred! [Male Lead] Have you lost your mind? [Female Lead] For talent such as mine? That's being kind! [Male Lead] Twenty! [Female Lead] Eighty! [Male Lead] Thirty! Final deal! [Female Lead] Now we're getting somewhere Tell me, is this real? [Pre-Chorus – Strings Enter] [Female Lead] And will I be your leading lady? Or just another face in line? [Male Lead] Not just a lady, not just maybe The grandest star that ever shined [Female Lead – Spoken] "Grand Diva?" [Male Lead – Spoken] "Grand Diva." [Female Lead] "And my costume?" [Male Lead] "Already designed." [Female Lead] "My opening number?" [Male Lead] "One of a kind." [Female Lead] "And what if the audience doesn't come?" [Male Lead] "Then we'll give the world a reason to!" [Chorus – Male and Female Duet, Full Orchestra] [Both] We'll take this dream around the world! From city lights to oceans blue! A million stages waiting there And every one begins with you! We'll cross the sea, we'll chase the sun We'll make the impossible come true! The world is bigger than one stage And I've got room for two! [Female Lead] Room for two? [Male Lead] For me and you! [Both] A WORLD FOR TWO! [Verse 2 – Theatrical Call and Response] [Female Lead] What about Paris? [Male Lead] We'll light the night! [Female Lead] And London? [Male Lead] We'll take flight! [Female Lead] New York? [Male Lead] The brightest show! [Female Lead] And Tokyo? [Male Lead] Our hearts already know! [Female Lead] I want a dress like morning stars A silver crown, a thousand sparks [Male Lead] A staircase rising through the sky A moon that moves when you walk by [Female Lead] And can I dance above the sea? [Male Lead] I'll build a stage that sets you free! [Female Lead – Spoken] "You really planned all this?" [Male Lead – Spoken] "Every last detail." [Female Lead] "Before you knew I'd say yes?" [Male Lead] "I was hoping." [Bridge – Intimate Piano, Emotional Dialogue] [Female Lead] I've heard a hundred promises From men who wanted me to shine But when the lights were fading They left the dark for me to find [Male Lead] I cannot promise every crowd Or every dream will find its way But I can promise I'll be there When all the lights have gone away [Female Lead] Not just for applause? [Male Lead] Not just for gold. [Female Lead] Even when we're growing old? [Male Lead] We'll write a story yet untold. [Both – Softly] Not yours alone Not mine to own A world we'll build together [Music Stops] [Female Lead – Spoken] "One more condition." [Male Lead – Spoken] "There's another?" [Female Lead – Spoken] "When this becomes the greatest show in the world..." [Male Lead] "Yes?" [Female Lead] "I want you beside me when the curtain falls." [Male Lead – Spoken] "Deal." [Final Build – Orchestra Crescendo] [Male Lead] One dream! [Female Lead] Two hearts! [Both] A thousand worlds where we can start! [Final Chorus – Full Orchestra, Duet and Ensemble] [Both] WE'LL TAKE THIS DREAM AROUND THE WORLD! BEYOND THE STARS, BEYOND THE BLUE! WE'LL TURN THE IMPOSSIBLE TO LIFE AND MAKE A MILLION DREAMS COME TRUE! [Male Lead] I'll build the stage! [Female Lead] I'll bring the light! [Both] AND WE'LL MAKE HISTORY TONIGHT! FROM ONE SMALL STAGE TO SKIES UNSEEN A WORLD FOR TWO A GRAND NEW DREAM! [Outro – Playful Return, Piano] [Female Lead – Spoken] "By the way... thirty percent?" [Male Lead] "Don't start again." [Female Lead] "Thirty-five?" [Male Lead] "Thirty-one." [Female Lead] "Forty." [Male Lead] "Welcome aboard, Grand Diva." [Female Lead – Laughing] "I knew you'd say yes!" [Both – Sung] The world is waiting And so are we! [Final Orchestral Hit]
