"Love While You Can" lyrics
"Love While You Can"
(with LaChanze & Jenn Colella)
(from "If/Then: A New Musical" soundtrack)
[Beth:]
Where none of us
Getting any younger
You can feel the time go by
And maybe we can't lose our hurt and anger, but goddamn it all, let's try
We plan a better day, but planets turn one way
So though, it seems unlikely girls this is what I say:
Love wherever, and whenever, and however you should
Yes, marriage is a bastard, but love is always good
It's nothing you prepare for; it's nothing that you plan
But love while this world lets you
Love while you can
[Anne:]
Our love belongs to everyone who loves us
So, it's not just you and me
And we both know love doesn't make us perfect
It just makes us want to be
If what we had before is broken on the floor
We can see the way the pieces work and make it something more
And, love wherever and whenever and however we feel
Let anger clean the cut out, let love help us heal
It's not the love we dreamed of back when we began
But, love if your heart lets you
Love while you can
[Kate:]
I believe our fates will bind us
I believe that you get but one true love
I believe in seeing signs and I believe and trust the stars above
And I thought you believed in me, that deep down we were meant to be
I tried to let that go
[Anne:]
But I can't let you go
[Kate:]
And then these feelings flow
[Both:]
I still love you so
So, love wherever and whenever and however love is
It's fear that hides the heart away, its love that forgives
It wasn't what we dreamed of; it wasn't in the plan
But love the way love binds you
Love while you can
[Anne:]
Love will keep on living when the shit hits the fan
[Kate:]
Love can be forgiving
[Anne:]
Oh my Kate
[Kate:]
My Anne
[Both:]
Love when this world lets you
Love while you can

Kristen Bell - "The Next Right Thing" I've seen dark before
But not like this
This is cold
This is empty
This is numb
The life I knew is over
The lights are out
Hello, darkness
I'm ready to succumb
I follow you around
I always have
But...
Adam Pascal - "Fortune Favors The Brave" Oh, oh, oh
Fortune favors the brave
Oh, oh
Fortune favors the brave We have swept to glory
Egypt's mastery expands
From the Nile's northern delta
To the dry, dry southern sands
The more we find,...

She is not playing dolls
She is stalking the halls
For the thrill of the kill
Every person in school
Is aware of her stare
When she tosses her hair
They go perfectly...
