Текст песни Paramount Conversations/Surrender (Reprise) - Andrew Lloyd Webber , Judy Kuhn , Glenn Close , George Hearn

Well
Hello, Mr. Gillis
Where have you been
Keeping yourself

Someone's
Been doing it for me

And meanwhile "Blind Windows"
Is stuck on the shelf
You said
We'd work together

New Year's crisis
What can I say

Always
Full of excuses

Promise I'll call you
Later today

You said that last time

Betty, I won't let you down

I guess I'll just have to trust you

You're Miss Desmond's German shepherd
I'm the one who's been calling
The name is Sheldrake
A couple of weeks ago
I was looking out of my office window and I saw you driving on to the lot
And I said, "that's exactly the car I've been looking for
Great for my new Crosby picture
So, I made some inquiries and I've been calling for two weeks
Doesn't she ever answer the phone
It's so perfect. You can't find that kind of quality outside of a museum
We're willing to pay a hundred dollars a week

It's outrageous
You insult her
How can you be so cruel
I forbid you to approach her

You're insane

Go away. Go away

Did you see
How they all came
Crowding around
They still love me
And soon we'll be
Breaking new ground
Brave pioneers

Those were the days

Just like before

We had such fun

We gave the world
New ways to dream

We always found
New ways to dream

Let's have a good long talk one day

The old team will be back in business

Sorry, my next shot's ready

Mr. Gillis

What's the matter, Max

I just found out the reason for all those phone calls from Paramount
It's not Madame they want
It's her car

Oh, my God

Now, you remember, don't you
I don't work before 10 or after 4:30 in the afternoon

It isn't entirely my decision, Norma, New York must be consulted

That's fine. You ask any exhibitor in the country
I'm not forgotten

Of course you're not

Goodbye, young fellow
We'll see what we can do

I'm not worried. It's so wonderful to be back

Was that really Norma Desmond

It was

She must be about a million years old

I hate to think where that puts me. I could be her father

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. DeMille

If you could have seen
Her at seventeen
When all of her dreams were new
Beautiful and strong
Before it all went wrong
She's never known the meaning of surrender
Never known the meaning of surrender
