KIM Last night I watched him sleeping My body pressed to him And then he started speaking The name I heard him speak...was Kim Yes I know that this was years ago But 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, forever more 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 For still I still believe As long as I Can keep believing, I'll live
I'll live You will return And I know why I'm yours Until we die
ELLEN I will hold you all night, I will make it alright You are safe with me And I wish you could tell what you don't want to tell What your hell must be
You can sleep now You can cry now I'm your wife now For life Until we die
(In America, CHRIS holds ELLEN; in Vietnam, KIM is alone in her room.)
