If Only (Quartet) - Original Broadway Cast

Lay back and focus on that feeling Cool message flowing through my mind One drop just falling from my ceiling Lay back and swim until I fly, alright So close I could touch it if I try One second outside myself just pulling me back to the ground If only if only if only if you were around One second to hold it there just riding the edge of my hindsight now Can't tell me I can have it if I want it so bad Lay back and focus on that feeling Cool message flowing through my mind One drop just falling from my ceiling Lay back and spin me till I die, oh my So close I could touch it if I try One second outside myself just pulling me back to the ground If only if only if only if you were around One second to hold it there just riding the edge of my hindsight now Can't tell me I can have it if I want it so bad My dreams do fine My dreams do fine My dreams do fine My dreams do fine

Sometimes it's easy to ask yourself why The hurting you feel cuts so deep inside And it seems like you've lost your reason for life Hear what I say, take my advice Don't give up, you're not walking alone God stands right there beside you He's been there all along And He knows every tear that you've cried And He knows the answers to why Only God knows how your broken heart fits in His master plan And just when you think your world is falling apart You find He's holding your world in His hands Why must the sparrow fall to the ground I don't know but I know that God sees It's beyond my mind. Only God knows why And that's good enough for me Why must I watch someone I love so Wither and die before growing old Why must a mother lose her pride and joy Or a daddy say goodbye to his baby boy I don't know. I only know that it's so And I don't mean to question God of things That I'm not meant to know But my trust is still in Him alone Knowing God is still on His throne Only God knows how your broken heart fits in His master plan And just when you think your world is falling apart You find He's holding your world in His hands Why must the sparrow fall to the ground I don't know but I know that God sees It's beyond my mind. Only God knows why And that's good enough for me It's beyond my mind. Only God knows why And that's good enough for me

I thought it wasn't wrong To hide from you Simple truth I was scared I felt it all along But it hurt to much for me, to share If only I had been less blind I'd have someone to hold on to If only I could change your mind If only I had known If only I had you Finally understand Why things have happened And how it all could go so wrong Will this pain ever end? 'Cause I don't think I can carry on If only I had been less blind I'd have someone to hold on to If only I could change your mind If only I had known If only I had you If only I had you If only I had you If only I had been less blind I'd have someone to hold on to (I won't let go) If only I could have spoke my mind If only it were true (we could start brand new) I know I'll make it through If only I had you If only I had you If only I had you

When there's a shadow, you reach for the sun When there is love, then you look for the one And for the promises, there is the sky And for the heavens are those who can fly If you really want to, you can hear me say Only if you want to, will you find a way If you really want to, you can seize the day Only if you want to, will you fly away When there's a journey, you follow a star When there's an ocean, you sail from afar And for the broken heart, there is the sky And for tomorrow are those who can fly If you really want to, you can hear me say Only if you want to, will you find a way If you really want to, you can seize the day Only if you want to, will you fly away? Ooh, go doe bay mwa Ooh, go doe bay mwa If you really want to, you can hear me say Only if you want to, will you find a way If you really want to, you can seize the day Only if you want to, will you fly away Ahh Je voudrais voler comme un oiseau d'aile Ah, je voudrais voler comme un oiseau d'aile, d'aile Ooh, go doe bay mwa Ooh, go doe bay mwa If you really want to, you can hear me say Only if you want to will you find a way If you really want to you can seize the day Only if you want to, will you fly away If you really want to, you can seize the day Only if you want to, will you fly away

Les poissons, les poissons How I love les poissons Love to chop and to serve little fish First, I cut off their heads Then I pull out their bones Ah mais oui, ca c'est toujours délice Les poissons, les poissons Hee hee hee, haw haw haw With a clever I hack them in two I pull out what's inside And I serve it up fried God, I love little fishes, don't you? Here's something for tempting the palate Prepared in the classic technique First, you pound the fish flat with a mallet Then, you slash through the skin Give the belly a slice Then you rub some salt in 'Cause that makes it taste nice Zut alors, I have missed one!
