Lea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You’re hanging your head down
Just when you think there’s not a reason
Or enough to go around
Well I got you
Got you in my arms tonight
And I’ll give you
Everything I have inside
They don’t really notice
Just take a breath, just take minute
I’ll be hidden in the moments
Cause I got you
Got you in my arms tonight
And I'll give you
Everything I have inside
You are not alone
Bring your heart back home
You are not alone
I will bring your heart back home
Bring your heart back home
Bring your heart back home
Cause I got you
Got you in my arms tonight
And I'll give you
Everything I have inside
And I got you
Got you in my arms tonight
And I'll give you
Everything I have inside
Cause I got you
I got you
Ooh I'll give you every little thing in my heart
I got you baby

You say that you’re lonely
You express your feelings of solitude
You’re hanging your head down
You are feeling dejected
Just when you think there’s not a reason
At the moment you believe there is no purpose
Or enough to go around
Or sufficient to share
Well I got you
But I have you
Got you in my arms tonight
I hold you tightly tonight
And I’ll give you
And I will provide you
Everything I have inside
All that I possess from within
When all of the people
While everyone
They don’t really notice
They don't truly acknowledge
Just take a breath, just take minute
Simply take a breath, just a moment of pause
I’ll be hidden in the moments
I will be there, concealed in those instances
Cause I got you
Because I have you
You are not alone
You are not solitary
Bring your heart back home
Retrieve your heart to where it belongs
I will bring your heart back home
I will assist in bringing your heart back to its rightful place
Bring your heart back home

Bring your heart back home
Retrieve your heart to where it belongs

All that I possess from within
And I got you
And I have you
Got you in my arms tonight
I hold you tightly tonight
And I'll give you
And I will provide you
Everything I have inside
All that I possess from within
Cause I got you
Because I have you
I got you
I have you
Ooh I'll give you every little thing in my heart
Oh, I will give you every small treasure from my heart
I got you baby
I have you, my dear

They are not nice, they're mostly noise
They swear like men, they screw like boys
I know there's nothing in their hearts
But every time I take one in my arms
It starts:
The movie in my mind
The dream they leave behind
A scene I can't erase
And in a strong GI's embrace
Flee this life
Flee this place
The movie plays and plays
The screen before me fills
He takes me to New York
He gives me dollar bills
Our children laugh all day
And eat too much ice cream
And life is like a dream
Dream
The dream I long to find
The movie in my mind
I will not cry, I will not think
I'll do my dance, I'll make them drink
When I make love, it won't be me
And if they hurt me, I'll just close my eyes
And see they are not nice, they're mostly noise
The movie in my mind they kill like men, they die like boys
The dream that fills my head they give their cash, they keep their hearts
A man who will not kill but every night again it starts
Who'll fight for me instead
He'll keep us safe all day
So no one comes at night
To blow the dream away
Dream
The dream I have to find
The movie in my mind
And in a strong GI's embrace
Flee this life
Flee this place
A world that's far away
Where life is not unkind
The movie in my mind

I'll find my true romance
He takes me to a place
Where I don't have to dance
Our children laugh all-day
But all that I've been through
Can't make my dream come true
Dream
The dream I long to find
The movie in my mind
I will not cry, I will not think
I'll do my dance, I'll make them drink
When I make love, it won't be me
And if they hurt me, I'll just close my eyes
And see (they are not nice, they're mostly noise)
The movie in my mind (they kill like men, they die like boys)
The dream that fills my head (they give their cash, they keep their hearts)
A man who will not kill (but every night again it starts)
Who'll fight for me instead
He'll keep the fear at bay
So no one comes at night
To blow the dream away
Dream
The dream I have to find
The movie in my mind
And in a strong GI's embrace
Flee this life
Flee this place
A world that's far away
Where life is not unkind
The movie in my mind

Lea's look when Rachelle hit the right note... "I'm proud of you girl!"
@baribearsd
It wasn't "the right note", but that her riff was great, not heard in a production of MS.
@dohaperson1
It ruined the mood by breaking the fourth wall and taking you out of the performance of characters and emotions. It was silly and she should know better.
@wyattmcconchie3889
dohaperson1 sweet Jesus calm down. It wasn’t like they were there to see the production of miss Saigon. Just them singing. Take the stick out of your ass.
@mulliganbrian
dohaperson1 This was a 25th anniversary condensed celebratory concert, the guests were drinking, even Lea mentioned something about going 'back to drinking' in her banter in between songs. Also, Lea was singing as the queen bee that she is and has become since her role as Kim, she was not portraying the character of Kim. This was a relaxed performance. These actors have all put their time in over the years, let them enjoy themselves and entertain us!
@leonardwaga
@@dohaperson1 she did not ruined the mood/emotion of the scene. Look for the lyrics of it.
@slc8648
Back in the late 90', Les Mesirables came to Hawaii. Lea was playing Eponine at the time. I attended a private dinner for the cast after the show. While the guests were milling about, my father, the host, asked if he could request her to sing something. Lea was gracious and said "Sure!" Then I piped up and asked if she could sing "On My Own". Just her and the producer who played piano. Her control was (and is) so consistent it's amazing. Her voice just enveloped the room and I cried like a baby. Her singing was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. As clean and pristine as crystal when it's rung. I was and still am so grateful to have been in the presence of such talent.
@kaylabrooks1381
I met and sang with her in the 15th anniversary concert of Ragtime at the Lincohn center! She absolutely incredible as well as Norm Lewis also in that production! So blessed that I experienced it!
@faftc-rcompany2800
