Miss Saigon Soundtrack - I’d Give My Life For You Lyrics

Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com

KIM
you who I cradled in my arms, you
asking as little as you can
little snip of a little man
I know I'd give my life for you

you didn't ask me to be born, you
why should you learn of war or pain
to make sure you're not hurt again
I swear I'd give my life for you

I've tasted love beyond all fear
and you should know it's love that brought you here
and in one perfect night
when the stars burned like new
I knew what I must do

I'll give you a million things I'll never own
I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown

you will be who you want to be, you
can choose whatever heaven grants
as long as you can have your chance
I swear I'll give my life for you

sometimes I wake up
reaching for him
I feel his shadow brush my head
but there's just moonlight on my bed

was he a ghost? was he a lie
that made my body laugh and cry?
then, by my side, the proof I see:
his little one, gods of the sun, bring him to me!

you will be who you want to be, you
can choose whatever heaven grants
as long as you can have your chance
I swear I'll give my life for you

no one can stop what I must do
I swear I'll give my life for you.

(a CHORUS of VIETNAMESE gathering to leave the country)

FIRST GROUP
no place, no home
no life, no hope
no chance, no change

SECOND GROUP FIRST GROUP
no regret, no return no place, no home
no good-bye, no regret no life, no hope
no return, no good-bye no chance, no change

SECOND GROUP FIRST GROUP THIRD GROUP
no regret, no return no place, no home one day, one night
no good-bye, no regret no life, no hope one day, one night
no return, no good-bye no chance, no change one day, one night
no regret... no... one day...

(the ENGINEER, KIM and TAM join the boat people)
