Amélie - A New Musical


[Amélie]
Sir, may I lend a hand?
May I take your cane?
Careful of the curb, here we go!

Put away your cup
Turning down the lane
Listen to the squeak of the bakery cart
Leaving a trail of breadcrumbs
Do you hear the laugh coming from the priest?
He has crinkly eyes!

Looking through the glass focused on the feast in the grocery window!
There is a display that is three melon slices deep
As children walk out the door holding sweet lemon ices!

[Amélie & blind beggar]
Sweet lemon ices!

[Blind beggar]
What was that?

[Amélie]
An envelope opens
A cat in a hallway
A filament flashes, flickers, and dies
And there goes a hat

[Amélie & blind beggar]
Thrown in the air!

[Amélie, blind beggar, & company]
Thrown in the air!

[Amélie & blind beggar]
I can feel every stranger in paris just waiting to collide
How a heart can crow like a moon as we circle each other
Then crashing together!
We end up open wide!

[Amélie]
Here where the bus has stopped you can find a kiosk under staples and glue!
Now the barber shop, now the laundromat, now we're at the metro, adieu!

[Blind beggar, spoken]
Wait! Tell me your name!

[Amélie, spoken]
Goodbye!

[Blind beggar, spoken]
Goodbye! Thank you!

[Amélie]
I can see everything clearly now
From here!
