Someone Else's Story (lyrics and song)

Hey, everyone! Welcome to 2011! I hope you all had a fantastic New Year's Eve, I know I did :-) and so, to start off the new year, I'd like to post a song and some lyrics. This song is from the musical 'Chess' (which I haven't seen yet, but I really want to) and it is sung by one of my favorite female Broadway singers, Lea Salonga. And now, enjoy "Someone Else's Story" from the musical 'Chess'

Someone Else's Story

Verse 1:

Long ago, in someone else's lifetime, 

Someone with my name who looked a lot like me

Came to know a man and made a promise;

He only had to say, and that's where she would be.

Lately, although the feelings run just as deep,

The promise she made has grown impossible to keep,

And yet, I wish it wasn't so.

Will he miss me if I go?

Verse 2:

In a way, it's someone else's story.

I don't see myself as taking part at all.

Yesterday, a girl that I was fond of

Finally could see the writing on the wall.

Sadly, she realized she'd left him behind.

And sadder than that, she knew he wouldn't even mind,

And though, there's nothing left to say,

Would he listen if I stay?

Bridge:

It's all very well to say,

"You fool! It's now or never!"

I could be choosing no choices whatsoever.

Verse 3:

I could be in someone else's story;

In someone else's life, and he could be in mine.

I don't see a reason to be lonely.

I could take my chances further down the line.

And if that girl I know should ask my advice,

Oh I wouldn't hesitate, she needn't ask me twice.

"Go now!" I'd tell her that for free.

Trouble is the girl is me.

The story is, the girl is... me.
