SOPHIE I have a dream A song to sing To help me cope With anything If you see the wonder Of a fairy tale You can take the future Even if you fail: Sam Carmichael: Bill Austin And Harry Bright: Good luck:
DONNA Honey honey, how he thrills me, a-ha, honey honey Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey I've heard about him before I wanted to know some more And now I know what they mean, he's a love machine Oh, he makes me dizzy
Honey honey, let me feel it, a-ha, honey honey Honey honey, don't conceal it, a-ha, honey honey The way that you kiss good night
ALI / LISA Way that you kiss me goodnight
SOPHIE The way that you hold me tight
ALI / LISA Way that you're holding me tight
SOPHIE I feel like I wanna sing
SOPHIE / ALI / LISA When you do your thing
SOPHIE I want my Dad to give me away at my wedding, but according to Mum's diary I've got three possible Dads: Sam, Bill or Harry.
ALI Sophie!!!
LISA Do they know?
SOPHIE What do you write to a total starnger? "Come to my wedding - you might be my Dad"? No, they think mum sent the invitations - and after reading this diary I'm not surprised they all said yes!
SOPHIE / LISA / ALI Honey honey, how you thrill me, a-ha, honey honey Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey
SOPHIE I'd heard about you before I wanted to know some more And now I'm about to see What you mean to me
HARRY Thank you for the music The songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy They're bringing Who can live without it I ask in all honesty What would life be
HARRY / SOPHIE Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me
SOPHIE Mother says I was A dancer before I could walk She says I began To sing long before I could talk And I've often wondered How did it all start? Who found out that nothing Can capture a heart Like a melody can? Well who ever it was, I'm a fan
SOPHIE / HARRY So I say Thank you for the music The songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy They're bringing Who can live without it I ask in all honesty What would life be Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me
SOPHIE I've been so lucky I am the girl with golden hair I wanna sing it out to everybody What a joy What a life What a chance
SOPHIE / HARRY / BILL Thank you for the music The songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy They're bringing Who can live without it I ask in all honesty What would life be Without a song or a dance what are we?
SOPHIE / HARRY / BILL / SAM So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me So I say thank you for the music
SKY I wasn't jealous before we met Now every man that I see is a potential threat And I'm possessive, it isn't nice You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice But now it isn't true Now everything is new And all I've learned Has overturned I beg of you
SOPHIE Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me
It was like shooting a sitting duck A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck I still don't know what you've done with me A grown-up woman should never fall so easily I feel a kind of fear When I don't have you near Unsatisfied I skip my pride I beg you dear
SKY Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me
BOYS Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me
SOPHIE I've had a few little love affairs They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce
SKY I used to think that was sensible It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
SOPHIE 'Cause everything is new And everything is you And all I've learned Has overturned What can I do?
SKY / PEPPER / EDDIE / BOYS Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me
GIRLS Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me

SOPHIE Sorry to drag you away
SAM Thank God you did, this used to be a quiet wee island.
SOPHIE Regretting you stayed away so long?
SAM No, I'm regretting I never knew what was here.
SOPHIE What?
SAM This plave - the Taverna. I always meant to come back and build it some day, but - she beat me to it.
SOPHIE: Do you prefer buildings to people?
SAM What?!
SOPHIE Tell me something about my mum.
SAM Your mum was irresistible, a one-off. We talked and we fought - you know it was me that brought her to this island?
SOPHIE That wasn't the only thing you did, was it?
SAM Oh right, what has she told you?
SOPHIE Nothing. She's never mentioned you.
SAM But you said "Mum's always talking about her friends from the old days." What's going on? Sophie, why am I here?

HARRY Fancy Donna with a grown-up daughter!
SOPHIE Have you got any children, Harry?
HARRY No. I haven't put myself in the path of paternity.
SOPHIE It's never too late.
HARRY I don't think my other half would agree.
SOPHIE Oh - you don't want children?
HARRY No, no, it's not like that. It's just that: : well, I'd have liked a daughter. I'd have spoiled her to bits.
SOPHIE Lucky thing.
HARRY Is your Dad here?
SOPHIE I don't know.
HARRY What?
SOPHIE I don't know who my Dad is.
GIRLS Is there a man out there? Someone to hear my prayer:
BILL Can I be nosey, I'm a writer so it goes with the territory.
SOPHIE Go on.
BILL How did your mother get this place? When I knew her she was singing in a night-club on the mainland.
SOPHIE She was left some money, in a will. We lived with an old lady when I was little. Her name was Sophia?
BILL What, my Great-Aunt Sophia?
SOPHIE I think it must be.
BILL But: I always heard her money went to: family: Wait a minute - how old are you?
SOPHIE Twenty.

NIGHTMARE CHORUS: You know that I'm nobody's fool

SOPHIE: Thinking nothing can stop them now Should I want to I'm not sure I would know how
DONNA: Schoolbag in hand She leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye With an absent-minded smile I watch her go With a surge of that well-known sadness And I have to sit down for a while The feeling that I'm loosing her forever And without really entering her world I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter That funny little girl
Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sleep in our eyes Her and me at the breakfast table Barely awake I let precious time go by Then when she's gone There's that odd melancholy feeling And a sense of guilt I can't deny What happened to the wonderful adventures The places I had planned for us to go Well some of that we did But most we didn't And why I just don't know
Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time
DONNA & SOPHIE: Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers -
DONNA: Schoolbag in hand She leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
SOPHIE: I have a dream A song to sing To help me cope With anything If you see the wonder Of a fairy tale You can take the future Even if you fail I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream I have a dream
COMPANY: I have a dream A fantasy To help me through Reality And my destination Makes it worth the while Pushing through the darkness Still another mile I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream I have a dream I'll cross the stream
SOPHIE: I have a dream I'll cross the stream I have a dream
