Try not to be afraid - Karaoketop, Andrew Lloyd Webber

TRY NOT TO BE AFRAID, SO MANY THINGS CAN HAPPEN

BUT NOTHING’S EVER QUITE AS BAD AS IT MIGHT APPEAR

I’LL GIVE YOU ALL I GOT, YOU KNOW I CAN PROTECT YOU

AND TRY AND STOP YOU SHEDDING EVEN ONE MORE SINGLE TEAR

Swallow: SHELTER FROM THE STORM

The Man: REFUGE FROM THE WORLD OUTSIDE

Swallow: SAFETY FROM THE DANGERS

The Man: ESCAPE FROM ALL THE DISAPPOINTMENTS THAT TIME HAS PASSED

HEALING OF THE WOUNDS

THE VANISHING OF NIGHTMARES

The Man: AN END TO ENDLESS TORTURED NIGHT

UNTROUBLED SLEEP AT LAST

THIS IS THE VOW I’VE MADE

I’LL SEE IT ALL COME TRUE NOW

AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO FOR ME:

TRY NOT TO BE AFRAID

The Man:

I SWEAR I’LL BE WITH YOU

THIS PROMISE THAT I’VE MADE YOU

Both: YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME

The Man:

THINK OF EVERYTHING YOU GOT

TRY NOT TO BE AFRAID

Swallow: TRY NOT TO BE AFRAID

Both: TRY NOT TO BE AFRAID

Swallow: It’s Amos.

I’ll get rid of him.

The Man: No wait.

What did I just tell you about the Commandments?

Swallow: Sometimes laws can be broken… if there’s a real special reason.

The Man: He has a bike.

Miracles happen if you play your cards right.

Get him to take you to the train tunnel!

Amos: I saw the light in here.

I was hoping it was you.

Swallow: What do you want?

Amos: I’ve come to say goodbye.

I’m leaving town tonight, for good… But maybe I

could stay for a little while if you want me to.

Amos: Will you tell me your big secret before I go?

I’ll tell you one of my

secrets if you tell me one of yours.

Swallow: You first.

Amos: …I don’t wear any underwear.

Swallow: I don’t like that kind of secret.

It makes me feel weird and… scared.

Amos: I am scared of a lot of things, but I ain’t scared of anything tonight

Swallow: I’m never scared of anything, but I’m… scared of you tonight.

LET’S MAKE A PROMISE AND THEN LET’S TAKE A VOW

TIME’S RUNNING OUT THE ONLY TIME LEFT IS NOW

AND YOU KNOW

YOU DESERVE MORE THAN THIS

IF YOU TRUST ME AT ALL THEN JUST GIVE IT A CHANCE

THEY ALL WANT YOU TO CRAWL BUT I WANT YOU TO DANCE

AND IF WE MAKE A PACT

THEN IT’S ONLY RIGHT WE SEAL IT WITH A KISS

Swallow: I’ve never kissed a boy before.

Amos: I’ve never kissed a girl who’s never kissed a boy before.

Amos: When they put me in Juvenile Detention Hall, I cried… but only once.

Swallow: Sometimes I cry when I hear a train go by… I don’t know why.

I didn’t cry when my mother died.

I couldn’t.

I only pretended to.

Amos: Sometimes I feel like killing my dad.

Swallow: Sometimes I feel like killing Brat.

Amos: Sometimes I feel like killin' myself… Pretendin' my bike’s a red Porsche

and driving a hundred and fifty miles an hour into a tree.

Swallow: Sometimes I lay awake and feel that too.

Nothing.

Just the colour of

black.

Amos: Sometimes I lay awake at night… dreaming of you…
