I Still Believe Lyrics

(In a small room, home to a number of Vietnamese: KIM, in early morning light)

KIM

last night i watched him sleeping

my body pressed to him

and then he started speaking

the name i hear him speak . . . was kim

yes, i know that this was years agobut when moonlight fills my room, i know

you are here . . . still

i still -

i still believe

you will return

i know you will

my heart

against all odds

holds still

yes, still

i still believe

i know as long

as i can keep believing, i'll live

i'll live

love cannot die

you will return

you will return

and i

alone know why

(In a bedroom on the other side of the world - in America. A woman is sitting beside CHRIS who is sleeping. She is ELLEN, CHRIS's wife.)

ELLEN

last night i watched you sleeping

once more, the nightmare came

i heard you cry out something

a word that sounded like . . . a name

and it hurts me more than i can bear

knowing part of you i'll never share

never know

but still

i still believe

the time will come

when nothing keeps us apart

my heart,

forevermore

holds still

(Chris wakes up from his sleep with a cry. ELLEN takes him in her arms and calms him.)

ELLEN

it's all over, i'm here

there is nothing to fear

chris, what's haunting you?

won't you let me inside

what you so want to hide!

i need you too!

KIM (ELLEN)

for still

(i will hold you all night)

(i will make it all right)

i still believe

(you are safe with me)

as long as i

(and i wish you could tell)

(what you don't want to tell)

can keep believing

(what your hell must be)

i'll live

i'll live (you can sleep now)

you will return (you can cry now)

(i'm your wife now)

and i know why

i'm yours (for life)

until we die (until we die)

(In America, CHRIS holds ELLEN; in Vietnam, KIM is alone in her room.)
