Adam Pascal, Heather Headley & Sherie Rene Scott Lyrics
"A Step Too Far"
(from "Aida (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)
[Amneris:]
It's so strange he doesn't show me
More affection that he needs
Almost formal, too respectful
Never takes romantic leads
There are times when I imagine
I'm not always on his mind
He's not thinking what I'm thinking
Always half a step behind
Always half a step behind
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Radames:]
I'm in every kind of trouble
Can't you tell? Just look at me
Half ecstatic, half dejected
All in all I'm all at sea
Easy terms I thought I wanted
Fill me now with chilling dread
You could never know the chaos
Of a life turned on its head
Of a life turned on its head
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Radames, Amneris:]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Aida:]
I am certain that I love him
But a love can be misplaced
Have I compromised my people?
In my passion and my haste?
I could be his life companion
Anywhere but where we are
Am I leader? Am I traitor?
Did I take a step too far?
Did I take a step too far?
[Amneris:]
It's so strange he doesn't show me
More affection that he needs
Almost formal, too respectful
Never takes romantic leads
There are times when I imagine
I'm not always on his mind
He's not thinking what I'm thinking
Always half a step behind
Always half a step behind
[Radames:]
I'm in every kind of trouble
Can't you tell? Just look at me
Half ecstatic, half dejected
All in all I'm all at sea
Easy terms I thought I wanted
Fill me now with chilling dread
You could never know the chaos
Of a life turned on it's head
Of a life turned on it's head
[Aida:]
I am certain that I love him
But a love can be misplaced
Have I compromised my people?
In my passion and my haste?
I could be his life companion
Anywhere but where we are
Am I leader? Am I traitor?
Did I take a step too far?
Did I take a step too far?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Aida, Radames:]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[All:]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Did I take a step too far?

I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills

Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day

I promised I would never...
