Pairing: Jeff/Annie
Tracks: 14
Notes: I have been working on this for a LONG time. I love Broadway musicals, and I've wanted to do this since first season, but the musical number in the season premiere finally got me to do it.
01. If I Loved You from CarouselJeff
Then what's puttin' into my head, babe?
You're diff'rent, alright! I know what it is...
You have doped me with that little kid's face, right?
You've adjusted me!
I wonder what it'd be like...
Annie
What?
Jeff
Nothin'.
No, I know what it'd be like.
It'd be awful! I can just see myself-
Kinda scrawny, and pale
Picking at my food,
And love-sick like any other guy.
I'd throw away my sweater, and dress up like a dude
In a dicky and a collar and a tie.
If I loved you.
02. Fallin' from They're Playing Our SongAnnie
And now I’m fallin’
Fallin’ fast again
Why do I always take a fall
When I fall in Love?
You think by now I’d learn
Play with fire you get burned
But fire can be oh so warm
And that’s why I returned
Turn and walk away
That’s what I should do
My head says turn and walk away
My heart says I love you.
03. Love Sneaks In from Dirty Rotten ScoundrelsJeff
Love sneaks in
When everything seems quiet,
Set the bait
And like a fool you buy it.
Your famous self-possession's
Vanished from your repertoire-
This is what can happen when you
Leave the door ajar..
And love sneaks in
And whispers to you sweetly
Silly words that change your life
completely
04. Maybe This Time from CabaretAnnie
Maybe this time, I'll be lucky
Maybe this time, he'll stay
Maybe this time
For the first time
Love won't hurry away
He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time
And the time before
Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loved me;
'Lady Peaceful,' 'Lady Happy,'
That's what I long to be
All the odds are in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's got to happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win
05. Hey There from The Pajama GameJeff
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes
Love never made a fool of you
You used to be too wise
Hey there, you on that high flying cloud
Though she won't throw a crumb to you
You think some day she'll come to you
Better forget her
Her with her nose in the air
She has dancing on a string
Break it and she won't care
06. Unusual Way from NineAnnie
In a very unusual
way, one time I needed you.
In a very unusual way, you were my friend.
Maybe it lasted a day,
Maybe it lasted an hour,
But somehow it will never end.
In a very unusual way, i think I’m in love with you.
In a very unusual way, i want to cry.
Something inside me goes weak, something inside me
surrenders,
And you’re the reason why,
You’re the reason why.
You don’t know what you do to me.
You don’t have a clue.
You can’t tell what it’s like to be me looking at you.
It scares me so that i can hardly speak
07. I Won't Send Roses from Mack and MabelJeff
I won't send roses
Or hold the door
I won't remember
Which dress you wore
My heart is too much in control
The lack of romance in my soul
Will turn you grey, kid
So stay away, kid
Forget my shoulder
When you're in need
Forgetting birthdays
Is guaranteed
And should I love you, you would be
The last to know
I won't send roses
And roses suit you so...
08. There's a Fine, Fine Line from Avenue QAnnie
There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend;
There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend;
And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.
There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.
There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie;
And there's a fine, fine line between "You're wonderful" and "Goodbye."
I guess if someone doesn't love you back it isn't such a crime,
But there's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of your time.
09. If I Told You from The Wedding SingerJeff
Standing here underneath your window
Searching for some kind of sign
Every move, every tiny gesture
Only proves you're not mine
I could write you a thousand love songs
Search the world for the perfect tune and rhyme
But what good would when it seems I'm out of time
If I told you
All the words I've yet to say
Would they matter
Or would you simply turn and walk away
If I hold you
Would you tell me I should go
Do I chance it
Or would it just be better not to know
Annie
Who's that girl with the perfect future
Her reflection says it all
Trying hard to pretend she's eager
Searching for some way to stall
So unsure of the road she's chosen
Faced with feelings her heart should not allow
On thing's certain, it seems
That she just can't turn back now
If she can, tell her how
10. Small Umbrella In the Rain from Little WomenJeff
We are as different as the
Morning and the night
Annie
No, we’re as different as the
Winter and the spring
Jeff
We always seem to fight
Annie
We disagree on everything
Jeff
And yet…
You make me smile,
You make me laugh,
You make me care.
How can I explain?
Inside my heart
I feel a pain
When you’re not there.
Though we’re not at all alike,
You make me feel alive.
If we had that in common,
That one small thing in common,
Love could be like a small umbrella,
In the rain.
11. Hey #3/Perfect For You from Next to NormalAnnie
Am I crazy?
I might end up crazy
.....
Jeff
Perfect for you
I will be perfect for you
So you could go crazy
Or I could go crazy, it's true
Sometimes life isn't sane
But crazy I know I can do
Cause crazy is perfect
And fucked up is perfect
So I will be perfect
12. Love to Me from Light in the PiazzaJeff
And I notice how you hunger for surprise,
And do not think that you are tall enough,
Like you’re standing on a mountainside alone
...
This is how I know,
This is what I see,
This is love to me.
13. All the Wasted Time from ParadeJeff
I will never understand
What I did to deserve you,
Or how to be the man
That I'm supposed to be.
I will never understand
If I live a thousand lifetimes
Why you did the things you did for me.
Just look at you -
How could I not be in love with you?
What kind of fool could have taken you
For granted for so long?
All the wasted time,
All the million hours,
Pushing you away,
Building up my walls;
All the days gone by
To glare, to pout, to push you out,
And I never knew anything at all
I never knew anything at all.
Annie
I will never understand
How all the world misjudged you
When I have always known
How lucky I must be.
I will never understand
How I kept from going crazy
Just waiting there till you came home to me.
Now look at me
Now that you're finally here with me -
Now that I know I was right to wait
And everyone else was so wrong
For so long
All the wasted time
14. With So Little to Be Sure Of from Anyone Can WhistleJeff
The more I memorize your face,
Annie
If there's anything to be.
Jeff
The more I never want to leave.
Annie
Being sure enough of you
Made me sure enough of me.
