Falling


I'm afraid to fly
And I don't know why
I'm jealous of the people who
are not afraid to die
It's just that I recall
Back when I was small
Someone promised that they'd catch me
And then they let me fall

And now I'm fallin'
Fallin' fast again
Why do I always take a fall
When I fall in Love?

You think by now I'd learn
Play with fire you get burned
But fire can be oh so warm
And that's why I returned
Turn and walk away
That's what I should do
My head says turn and walk away
My heart says I love you.

And now I'm fallin'
Fallin' fast again
Why do I always take a fall
When I fall in Love?

Always turns out the same
Lovin' someone
Confusin' myself
Only got me to nlame
Helkp me I'm fallin Fallin
Catch me if you can
Maybe this time I'll have it all
Maybe I'll make it after all
Maybe this time I won't fall
When I fall in love.

SONIA

VERNON
I hear a kind of BeeGees record here, About broken hearts or something...Something like...

Look at the way he works
What would he know of a broken heart?

VERNON
Ooo give it to me mama

SONIA
To him broken heart is a phrase I should write for his God damn middle part

I'd say it's not my kind of song can't we write something else today but

FEMALE ALTER EGOS
He might get insulted

SONIA
His ego isn't small

If He Really Knew Me


SONIA
If he really knew me
If he really truly knew me
Maybe he would see the other side of me I seldom see

If there were no music
If the melodies stopped playing
Would he be the kind of man
I'd want to see tonight

Does the man make the music
Or does the music make this man
And is he everything I thought he'd be

If he really knew me
If he'd take the time to understand
Maybe he could find me
The part I left behind me
Maybe he'd remind me
Of who I am

VERNON
If there were no music
If my melodies stopped plain'
Would I be the kind of man she'd want to se tonight
What the hell
It's just a dinner
If this doesn't work, that's it
And can I really be so hungry for a hit

If she really knew me
If she'd take the time to understand
Maybe she could find me
The part I left behind me
Maybe she'd remind me
Of who I am

They're Playing My Song (His)


VERNON
Oh ho they're playing my song
Oh yeah they're playing my song
And when they're playing my song
Every body's got to
Sh Sh Sh

Don't say a word now
Listen to that sweet melody
I'm happy to say
In my own humble way
Every perfect note of that was written by my

Oh ho they're playing my song
That table's humming along
That couple half out the door
Is comin' back to hear more of my music

At first I thought this place was a dive
I chose it in haste but
They show they've go taste
As long as they're playing my song

Who would have known
Nine months ago
That I would give birth at my piano
In all honesty
I've got to admit
I knew this song would be an international hit

Oh ho they're playin' my tune
Too bad it's ending so soon
But then we all got to go
It's good to know that they'll be playin'
Oh God I'm prayin'
They'll be playin'
They'll be playin' my song

They're Playing My Song (Hers)


SONIA
Oh ho they're playing my song
Oh yeah they're playing my song
And when they're playing my song
Every body's got to
Sh Sh Sh

The magic of words is weaving it's spell 'round this room
Nobody's dancin' they're all too entranced in
Just listening to the perfect way my words fit that tune

Right now they're listening to me
My lyric reads like a poem
It surely stands on it's own
It makes me proud to hear that music

It's the total expression of me
To be more specific this place is terrific
As long as they're playin' my song

Who would have known
That two years ago when Leon asked
'Can't lovin' be fun?'
Who would have known
Can't Lovin' Be Fun
Would be sung by everybody under the sun

You know it made the top ten
All good things come to an end
I wish they'd play it again and again
They keep on playin'
Oh God I'm prayin'
They'll keep playing my song

Oh ho they're playing my song

VERNON
Oh yeah they're playing your song

SONIA
I wish they'd play it again and again
They keep on playin'
Oh God I'm prayin'
They'll keep playing my song

Everything is perfectly fine at this minute
And this time I'm finding that light
Shining on me looking so bright
Feeling alive again
Making me sure that he's more than alright for me

Just For Tonight


SONIA
Just for today let me love you
Just for tonight I'll close my eyes
And when I open them my world will be alright
It couldn't hurt anyone
It wouldn't hurt anyone

Just for today I want to hold you
Just for tonight you'll be my dream
And when the morning comes to wake me that's alright
It couldn't hurt anyone
It wouldn't hurt anyone

Taking just one more chance
Tryin for some fun
Up to now my life's been too much said too little done

Just for today
I'll be my feelings
And I know
They'll lead me home
And if we both come back a little wiser
It couldn't hurt anyone
It wouldn't hurt anyone
It shouldn't hurt anyone
Just for tonight

Taking just one more chance
Tryin for some fun
Up to now my life's been too much said too little done

Just for today
I'll be my feelings
And I know
They'll lead me home
And if we both come back a little wiser
It couldn't hurt anyone
It wouldn't hurt anyone
It shouldn't hurt anyone
Just for tonight

When Youre In My Arms


VERNON
When you're in my arms
And I feel you close to me
Life's what it's supposed to be
I'm in love you are my soul

SONIA
You're my melody
You're every dream I locked away

VERNON & SONIA
My whole world came alive the day
You walked into my life
You are my song
Sing it
Let everybody know I found you
Let everybody know I found that thing
That people love to sing about
Tell them
Tell them if they didn't hear by now
Tell them how I've found that feeling that I waited for
I've got the world and more

VERNON
When you're in my arms I wish I had the words to say

SONIA
I'll give them to you every day

VERNON & SONIA
Tonight you're in my arms
It feels good in your arms
Tonight you're in my arms

FEMALE ALTER EGOS
When you're in love the time keeps tickin' but you've go no time to see it go

VERNON
I've only got eyes for my sweet sweet baby so love's the only time I know

FEMALE ALTER EGOS
When you're in love your smile gets wider you get a kind of magic glow
The clock on the wall doesn't matter at all cause love's the only time you know

Something so right like lovin' together
Two hearts are better than one
Good good lovin' that some sweet sweet music
Sure makes wakin' up fun
Sure feels good to be lovin' each other
I wonder why we waited so long
Sonia and Vernon
The fire is burnin'
We got ourselves our own sweet song

VERNON & SONIA
When you're in my arms I see a world I've never seen

VERNON
I never knew that trees were green

VERNON & SONIA
Till you were in my arms
You are my song
Sing it
Let everybody know I found you
Let everybody know I found that thing
That people love to sing about
Thank you
For helping give my life some order
VERNON
And where'd you put my tape record
I want to write how good I feel tonight

VERNON & SONIA
When you're in my arms

VERNON
I wish I had the words somehow

SONIA
Shhh
Not now

VERNON & SONIA
Tonight you're in my arms
And you'll be wakin' up in my arms
When you're in my arms

If He Really Knew Me (Reprise)


VERNON
If she really knew me
If she really truly knew me
Maybe she would see the other side of me I hide of me

If there were no music
If my melodies stopped playing
Would I be the kind of man
She'd want to see tonight

SONIA
If he really knew me
If he'd take the time to understand
Maybe he could show me
Maybe he could find me
Maybe he'd remind me
Of who I am

I Still Believe In Love


After all the tears I've cried
You'd think I would give up on love
Get off the slide
Maybe I might get it right this time

I was there as passion turned to pain
Sunshine turned to rainy days
Here I am
Ready to begin once again

All my life I've been a dreamer
Dreaming' dreams that always broke in two
But I still believe in love and love believing
Maybe you can make my dreams hold true

He's content with who I am
I'm reaching out my hand to him once again
At least I know I've made myself a friend

All my life I've been a dreamer
Dreaming dreams that never quite came true
But I still believe in love and love believing
I'll keep on dreaming because I still believe in love
I still believe in love
And me
And you
I still believe in love

Fill In The Words


You play a C
You get a C
That's simple
That's easy

But there was you
And there was me
Not so simple
Not easy

I'm never quite able to say what I feel
I know that sounds absurd
The only way you can hear me
Is to listen to my song without words

(melody)
That's what I'm saying right now
And I'm writing this love song just for you to fill in the words

You were everything good
I know you love me
I just couldn't make us work out
And all I could do was leave it to you to fill in the words
Fill in the words

If I had the words
I'd have a song
And maybe it would tell me where I belong
With you I had the words for free
It's just in loving you I was losing me

(melody)
Hoping you'll understand
That until I can find those words for myself will you fill in the words
Fill in the words

(melody)
Fill in the words

(melody)
If I had the words
I'd have a song
And maybe it would tell me where I belong
With you and me I wasn't sure
Was I less were you more?

(melody)
Hoping you'll give me some time
If that kid on the coat rack wants to come back
wants one more try
Where will you be?
Will you still fill in the words?
Will you fill in the words?

They're Playing Our Song is a musical with a book by Neil Simon, lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager, and music by Marvin Hamlisch.

In a story based on the real-life relationship of Hamlisch and Sager, a wisecracking composer finds a new, offbeat lyricist, but initially the match is not one made in heaven. The two undergo a series of trials and overcome a number of hurdles before finding true love by the final curtain.

They're Playing Our Song is essentially a two-character show. Vernon and Sonia are the sole characters on stage; each character has a three-person Greek chorus acting as their inner voices, and there are no big production numbers.
