   DIANA:
   Oh baby mine,
   There was a time
   Remember, you thought you could fly
   You leapt from on high,
   With stars in your eyes
   You’d reach them if only you tried

   Oh baby mine,
   you reached too high
   & Earth loved you more than the sky.
   She pulled you back down
   You crashed to the ground
   And you broke your crown, baby mine

   and should the bough break, the cradle will fall
   And down will come baby…

   and should the bough break, the cradle will fall
   And down will come baby…
   To love and to lose can break you in two
   Far better to never have loved
   At all.

   JACK: I caught a glimpse above my menu
   Into a face like sunny weather
   I picked my glasses up off the table
   With just a hope to see you better
   Won’t you pardon me
   I couldn’t help but see
   That no one seems to be joining you
   And you’re sitting alone
   At a table meant for two.

   Just a bit of conversation
   As you sip your glass of tea
   And might I make a bold suggestion
   And add a place setting for me

   Have you made up your mind?
   Or can I help you decide
   Between the house greens or pasta fagioli
   While you’re sitting alone
   At a table meant for two

   Well you don’t even blink
   At words I’m too scared to speak
   I can dream it
   But I can’t make it come true
   And you’re still sitting alone
   At a table…

   JACK: No one told me about the Stars in June
   How Sagittarius shoots through the moon
   How you leave the street lights
   To find new shades of blue

   No one told me about the sea’s soft song
   Gentle smells of longing pull so strong
   And no one told me about
   No one told me about you.

   And every single song I’ve heard
   Never held life before
   And every new turn of your face
   It pulls me down to you more

   No one told me how the feeling stays
   How just one kiss can last entire days
   How it can pull you apart
   And leave you removed.

   No one told me about the Stars in June
   How Sagittarius shoots through the moon
   And no one told me about
   No one told me about you.

5. 5. It's YouListen
   J. Wright

   CAROLINE: I’d been around; I’d played the field some
   Thought I knew what it was to love and to live
   But I’d never found a heart so open
   [so] willing to take in all the love I’ve to give

   When you came to me
   It was hard to believe
   That we had once existed apart
   And I knew as soon
   As your eyes met mine
   That I had found the key to my heart

   JACK & CAROLINE: And darlin’ it’s you
   Sweetheart it’s you.
   I never thought my life was incomplete
   Until you swept me off of my feet
   Like baby you do
   And darlin’ it’s you.

   JACK: I never thought that I was searching
   I never knew that there was something to find
   And I’d been aware of just a fraction
   Of all the sights, the sounds, the tastes of this life

   Then you came to me
   Like a symphony
   I didn’t know what beauty could be
   Then I saw your face
   And it clicked in place
   I knew I’d found my missing piece
   
   
   

6. 6. I'm Not Jealous (Caroline's Theme)Listen
   J. Wright

   Katie Cook: Vocals | James DiGirolamo: Piano, Organ| Jonathan Trebing: Guitar | Daniel Tashian:  Acoustic Guitar | Marc Pisapia: Drums | James Hags Haggerty: Bass | Vinnie Ciesielski: Trumpet | Roy Agee: Trombone | Max Abrams: Tenor Saxophone |

   CAROLINE: I’m not jealous,
   I just think that maybe
   you’re wasting your time with them.
   You’re so smart and engaging,
   And they’re rather dim.

   And when they tell us
   That our love’s not to be
   Well now, frankly it makes me sad
   Then they say things about you
   that just make me mad

   I don’t need anything but you
   So it’s hard to see
   How you could need anyone but me.

   I don’t need anything but you
   So it’s hard to see
   How you could need anyone but me.

   You told me that you’d be mine
   It’s a pledge and I will not take it lightly.
   If you and me are to be
   Then you’ll see that some things have got to change.
   You think it strange of me to press
   But you’ll come to find that I know what’s best for you.

   I’m not jealous
   Though I know in your heart
   That you want me to be happy
   Well just follow my lead
   And we’ll make it, you’ll see.

   I don’t need anything but you
   So it’s hard to see
   How you could need anyone but me
   
   
   

7. 7. Don't Bring HerListen

   Vocals: Jon Wright | James DiGirolamo: Piano, Rhodes, Organ, Loop | Jonathan Trebing: Guitar | Daniel Tashian: Guitar | Marc Pisapia: Drums | James Hags Haggerty: Bass | Backgrounds: Dave Wilson, J. DiGirolamo, J. Wright

   FRIEND: We never see you anymore
   We call you up but you say
   ‘Guys not tonight, I’m at home with the girl.’

   We can’t believe how much you’ve changed.
   You never smile no more
   With that crazy bitch suckin' your life away.

   I’m having the fellas over
   There’s chips & beer.
   Just don’t bring her
   No don’t bring her
   We rented some tittie movies
   We’ll watch the game.
   Just don’t bring her
   No don’t bring her along.

   We think there’s something you should know
   You ain’t the first to tap that well
   Just the last in a long chain of fools.

   Man, we ain’t tryin’ to run your life
   Hey we’re just asking you
   To think with your head not the family jewels

   Tell me honestly,
   When’s the last time you saw
   A movie with Steven Seagal?
   Or a good old fashioned Bond film
   With Sean Connery
   Where the good guy saves the day
   Gets the girl, makes the call
   Please tell me that you’re lyin’
   Would you rather see some swill with Meg Ryan.
   

8. 8. Mother Might SayListen

   DIANA: So you think this is love.
   You must be so proud
   Of what your little heart can do
   This is love?
   Well sweetheart,
   Have you really thought the whole thing through?

   Now silly did you really think
   That you were strong enough
   To try and live your life that way
   Without even a thought
   to what your Mother might say.

   Now sometimes you ask me
   Why, why, why
   Well baby mine, don’t you start
   Just sit tight, have faith
   I have your best interests at heart

   Now baby did you think that maybe
   it was much too much
   to try and carry on that way
   Without even a thought
   to what your Mother might say.

   Bridge: I’m not jealous,
   I just think that maybe
   you’re wasting your time with her.
   I’m not jealous
   But I’ve been there before
   And I think you deserve a bit more.

   So, you think this is love?
   Is easy to be fooled
   With what she’s danglin’ on that rope
   Well it looks so right
   Until the hook gets caught in your throat

   Now silly did you really think
   That you were strong enough
   To try and live your life that way
   Without even a thought
   to what your Mother might say.

DiGirolamo & J. Wright
   
   JACK:
   Well we both agreed that the time had come
   We’d had the best of a pretty good run
   We were getting near the end.
   And she kissed my cheek as she said goodbye
   Her smile was sad, but her eyes were dry
   And we parted just like friends

   It was Sunday morning at 10 o’clock
   We cut the ties and we broke the locks
   That had held it all in place
   and it was Tuesday evening at quarter til when she drowned her ills in a bottle of pills
   I shoulda seen it i her face
   Well I guess that she was fakin
   Cos her heart was really breakin
   As she turned around and walked away

   Darlin' please I know we’ve left some better times behind
   But if we try it again in the end we’ll see it through.
   On my knees it’s please, be mine forever, sweet Caroline.
   'Cos there will never be forever unless its me and you.
   
   CAROLINE: Well I said the words as I read the lines
   but I couldn't quite get my heart behind
   all the meaning held within.
   And it came as a bit of a suprise that he missed the fact that between the lines
   something more was being said

    Joined in holy matrimony
    At St. Bartholomew’s Church in South Bend.

    CAROLINE: All my life
    I’ve had (held) this place inside me
    Waiting for this day.
    With demure smile I’ll walk the aisle
    A vision of pure bliss
    Then you’ll look into my eyes and touch my lips

    BOTH: And we’re united
    As one to spend
    Our lives together, slowly
    Learning how much joy true love can really give.

Digirolamo

    There was a time he'd send her flowers
    Call just to say hello every hour, but now
    he's a different look
    he doesn't try so hard
    'cos he's already won her heart
    
    Once upon a time
    she would try and catch him winking
    pass her time wondering what he was thinking, but now
    he's an open book
    he's got a lot to learn
    'cos she's a girl who knows her worth.
    
    Now they're engaged!
    and the whole thing's changed
    It all happened so suddenly,
    their friends are so amazed
    Now they're engaged
    but when things get rough,
    will they find that love's enough?
    
    He told her that there'd be no other
    but he's always running home to mother, and now
    he's a plan for them
    can she take it on the chin?
    his mother's moving in
    now it's he and she, oh the chemistry,
    'cos her mother-in-law-to-be makes three!
    
    Now They're Engaged!

    DIANA: I tried to tell him about the stars in june
    how season’s change and flowers lose their bloom
    but there's lessons, I guess, that we all must live through.

    JACK: No on told me that it'd all come to
    second guessing everything you do
    jealousy eats right through, no one told me about you
    
    And every single song I’ve heard
    Is tainted by the things you’ve said
    CAROLINE: Now the only way I stand your touch
    Is to imagine someone else instead.

    No one told me about the stars in June
    but seasons change and flowers lose their bloom
    no one told me, no one told me about you
    
    No one told me that you'd gain such weight
    and that your every quirk I'd come to hate
    no one told me, no one told me about you.
    
    JACK: No one told me that there'd come a time
    your lovely voice would turn a peircing whine
    no one told me, no one told me about you

    DIANA:
    You are cordially Invited to ignore
    A certain invitation, they’ve broken the engagement.
    We’ve restored the status quo
    he may dally with another but they all return to mother
    And what’s more: she’s on the rocks
    No the spell hasn’t been lifted, the polarity has shifted.
    And I’m sure it’s quite a shock...
    when you fan such a hot flame
    Love & hatred start to burn the same.

    The reflection will show
    A different side of things
    Mirror, Mirror can you tell me please
    What the future will bring

    JACK: I thought today of something to tell you:
    A little joke that’d make you smile
    Then I remembered we’re not together.
    I forget about that every once in a while

    Waiter, please, would you top off my coffee?
    I’ll just sit here and read the whole paper through.
    And I’m sitting alone at a table meant for two.

    JACK: She said the words I bought the lines
    I didn’t know that she was falling
    She turned her back she cut the cords
    I didn’t hear that she was calling

    CAROLINE: When I seem to push you away
    Listen to what I think not what I say
    Sometimes words, they get in the way
    You see, you’re mine and you always will be.

    You really took me at my word,
    it’s so absurd. You’re such a coward.
    ’Cos when I tell you that we’re through
    it means that you should bring me flowers

    JACK: You always play at being so strong
    And never for a second letting on
    That I could make a crack in your wall,
    But then I see… a tear glistening on your cheek.

    She Said…
    CAROLINE: NO!
    There’s something in my eye it seems.
    These tears aren’t what you think they mean,
    No it’s something altogether different.

    JACK: I Said No!
    Enough now of your foolish games
    You’ve played me in a thousand ways
    Is it such a great affair to show mw that you care?

    CAROLINE: You say you really thought that I
    had said goodbye and turned and left you.
    My silly boy you know that thinking…
    well, it’s never been your strong suit.

    JACK: You always play at being so strong
    And never for a second letting on
    That I could make a crack in your wall,
    But then I see… a tear glistening on your cheek.

    She Said…
    CAROLINE: NO!
    There’s something in my eye it seems.
    These tears aren’t what you think they mean,
    No it’s something altogether different.

    JACK: I Said No!
    Enough now of your foolish games
    You’ve played me in a thousand ways
    Is it such a great affair to show mw that you care?

    CAROLINE: And I gave you
    every benefit of the doubt
    The time you needed to work your feelings out.
    I told you I loved you, what more could I say
    One little hitch, and you throw it all away.

    J: I Love You
    C: Don’t Touch Me
    J: I Need You
    C: Don’t Rush Me
    J: I screwed up…
    C: You blew it!
    J: But don’t you think we could…
    C: …work through it?

    J: I see it now, I’ve missed the signs
    All of the mistakes were mine
    I’ve learned to read between the lines
    Will you still be mine, my Caroline?

    And she said:
    C: Let go of my arm
    J: I didn't see she had the knife...
    
    ...and then she stabbed me.

    JACK: Drop your mind, and subjects to time,
    washed away by the water at your feet.
    Earth and sky, and heaven aside
    let 'em be, stay with me, by the sea.
    
    Break away tomorrow and yesterday
    today is all that we need.
    and the sun is falling fast
    I know nothing ever lasts,
    but for now, we can be, by the sea
    
    Get off the one track, I ain't letting you go back
    to telephones and number on the wall.
    take time it's clear that even you need you here
    if in your absence, mountains crumble, let 'em fall
    
    Break away tomorrow and yesterday
    today is all that we need.
    and the sun is falling fast
    I know nothing ever lasts,
    but for now, we can be, by the sea.
