The Meaning Of Love

(Jeremy confesses his love to Cara on the dance-floor)

Follow-spot on Jeremy and Cara.

Jeremy:
On the shores
A brave new world I see
Love outpoured
I've found my destiny
My whole life's changed
A new world just begun
For you've captured my heart, now I'm

Losing my all to your love
Finding I'm safe in your arms
Losing the world I have known
I've found the meaning of love
I've found the meaning of love

An empty cage
A bird set free to soar
Or a brand new page
The words I've waited for
My whole life's changed
A new world just begun
For you've captured my heart, now I'm

Losing my all to your love
Finding I'm safe in your arms
Losing the world I have known
I've found the meaning of love
I've found the meaning of love
I've found the meaning of love

(Cara reflects on all the lies she has told to win Jeremy over. Unable to look Jeremy in the face, she mourns what must be the end of their romance. Jeremy, lost in his love, cannot hear her thoughts)

Cara:
So sad about us
But we never were
From lie to lie I kept you
Innocent to the truth
Believing me a lady
.
(During instrumental, Cara dances, an expression of who she really wants to be. As the instrumental draws to a close, she returns to her original position)

Jeremy:
Losing my all to your love
Finding I'm safe in your arms
Losing the world I have known
I've found the meaning of love
I've found the meaning of love

 

Cara:

On the shores

I make myself up
Imagine my friends

Tell tales from childhood

It is all pretend

Believing me a lady

Deception comes easily

Now you're moving to close.

 

Jeremy:

 

A brave new world I see
Love outpoured
I've found my destiny

My whole life's changed
A new world just begun
For you've captured my heart
Now I'm


Jeremy:
Losing my all to your love

Cara:
If he only knew the real me

Jeremy:
Finding I'm safe in your arms

Cara:
I don't deserve all this love

Jeremy:
Losing the world I have known

Cara:
Keeping a world of my own

Jeremy:
I've found the meaning of love

Cara:
So sad about us

Jeremy:
I've found the meaning of love

Cara:
So sad about us

Jeremy:
I've found the meaning of love
