"This Time Next Year" lyrics
(from "The Queen Of Versailles" soundtrack)
[Jackie:]
Hi. I'm Jackie Siegel, and I am the Queen of Versailles. But
I'm not that different from you
I had a tiny life with great, big dreams
I had no clue how to achieve
But I found a way to believe
And you can, too, 'cause look
Those great, big dreams are oh so close
To finally coming true...
This time next year
When we're living here in our finished palace
Sipping Diet Coke from a golden chalice
So many parties hosted
This time next year
When at last the Queen of Versailles is reigning
Think of all the followers I'll be gaining
Picture the selfies posted
All the lights in the ballroom blazing
Won't the orchestra sound amazing?
And as we watch the fireworks, how we'll cheer
This time next year
This time next year
All of David's swears that he won't retire
When he's here with all that he could desire
Where would he want to roam to?
And Jonquil — she'll come home, too
To the parties and balls we'll give here
And my parents, they'll finally live here
'Cause like a good facelift, the scars will just disappear
This time next year
American royalty
That's who we'll finally be
'Cause being the Queen means you get what you want
Without having to think of the cost
And having all means the more that you gain
The more you forget what you've lost
It makes up for whatever you've lost
American royalty
Was a big dream for me
So just look around, you can't miss
It doesn't get bigger than this
It doesn't get better than this
It doesn't get better
It doesn't get better
It doesn't get better
Well...
Into every life, some rain must pour
We all face times when things get tough
Right?
That's the reason why we need more and more
And more and more, and more and more
And when is it enough?
How do we know when it's enough?
Well, this time next year
It will finally be clear
And if I persevere
It will always be here, year after year
Year after year after year, after this time
Next year!
[Ensemble:]
Ah-ah-ah-ah...
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah...
Ah-ah-ah...
Ah-ah-ah...
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah...
Ah, ah...
[Jackie:]
And from the bottom of my heart, I hope every single one of you - just like me - will get
Your champagne wishes
And your caviar dreams...
