ithout you, the ground thaws, the rain falls, the grass grows. Without you, the seeds root, the flowers bloom, the children play. The stars gleam, the poets dream, the eagles fly, without you. The earth turns, the sun burns, but I die, without you.
Without you, the breeze warms, the girl smiles, the cloud moves. Without you, the tides change, the boys run, the oceans crash. The crowds roar, the days soar, the babies cry, without you. The moon glows, the river flows, but I die, without you.
ROGER The world revives—
MIMI Colors renew—
BOTH But I know blue, only blue, lonely blue, within me blue.
MIMI Without you. Without you, the hand gropes, the ear hears, the pulse beats.
ROGER Without you, the eyes gaze, the legs walk, the lungs breathe.
ROGER The mind churns!
MIMI The mind churns!
ROGER The heart yearns!
MIMI The heart yearns!
BOTH The tears dry, without you. Life goes on, but I’m gone. Cause I die, without you.
