I Still Believe
Miss Saigon [Original London Cast] Lyrics

Last night I watched him sleeping,
I observed him sleeping,

my body pressed to him.
My body was touching his.

And then he started speaking.
Then, he began talking while asleep.

The name I heard him speak was Kim...
I heard him say the name 'Kim.'

Yes, I know that this was years ago,
I am aware that this happened a long time ago.

but when moonlight fills my room I know
But when the moonlight illuminates my room, I feel

you are here, still.
that you are still present with me.

I still-
I am still

I still believe
certain that

you will return.
you will come back to me.

I know you will.
I am confident of your return.

My heart against all odds
Despite all the difficulties,

holds still.
my love remains constant.

Yes, still,
Even now,

I still believe.
I am still certain.

I know as long as I can keep believing,
I realize that as long as I continue to believe,

I'll live.
I will survive.

love cannot die.
True love never dies.

You will return, you will return,
You will come back to me, you will return,

and I alone know why...
and only I understand why.

Last night I watched you sleeping.
Last night I observed you sleeping.

Once more the nightmare came.
Once again, the bad dream resurfaced.

I heard you cry out something,
I heard you say something in your sleep,

a word that sounded like a name.
a word that seemed to resemble a name.

And it hurts me more than I can bear
It pains me beyond measure

knowing part of you I'll never share,
To realize that there is a part of you I won't ever share,

never know.
will always be unknown.

But still-
However, I am still,

I still believe
firmly convinced

the time will come
that there will be an occasion

when nothing keeps us apart.
when nothing can separate us.

My heart forever more holds still.
My love for you always remains unwavering.

It's all over I'm here,
It's all in the past, I'm here now,

there is nothing to fear!
You don't have to be scared about anything!

Chris, what's haunting you?
Chris, what is troubling you?

Won't you let me inside
Will you allow me entrance

what you so want to hide.
what you have been keeping to yourself.

I need you too!
I need you; I'm here for you.

I will Hold you all night
I will embrace you all night,

I will make it all right
Everything will be alright,

You are safe with me
you are safe in my arms.

But I wish I could tell
But I wish I could disclose

What you don't want to tell
What you don't want to reveal.

you can sleep now
You can finally rest,

you can cry now
You can cry if you need to now.

I'm yours
I am yours, and you are mine.

For life until we die
We will be together for life, until we die.
