"As If We Never Said Goodbye" from "Sunset Boulevard"

NORMA
I don't know why I'm frightened
I know my way around here.
The cardboard trees,
The painted seas,
The sound here.

Yes, a world to rediscover,
But I'm not in any hurry,
and I need a moment.

The whispered conversations
In over-crowded hallways,
The atmosphere
As thrilling here
As always.

Feel the early morning madness,
Feel the magic in the making.
Why, everything's as if
We never said goodbye.

I've spent so many mornings,
Just trying to resist you.
I'm trembling now,
You can't know how
I've missed you,

Missed the fairytale adventures
In this ever-spinning playground.
We were young together,

I'm coming out of make-up,
The light's already burning,
Not long until
The cameras will
Start turning,

And the early morning madness,
And the magic in the making,
Yes, everything's as if
We never said goodbye.

I don't want to be alone,
That's all in the past.
This world's waited long enough,
I've come home at last,

And this time will be bigger,
And brighter than we knew it.
So watch me fly,
We all know I
can do it.

Could I stop my hand from shaking?
Has there ever been a moment
With so much to live for?

The whispered conversations
In over-crowded hallways,
So much to say,
Not just today,
But always.

We'll have early morning madness,
We'll have magic in the making,
Yes, everything's as if
We never said goodbye,
Yes, everything's as if
We never said goodbye.

We taught the world
New ways to dream.
