Broadway production (1990)
Once on This Island the Musical - Forever Yours (Reprise) Lyrics

(Music by Stephen Flaherty and Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens)

PAPA GE
There were promises
Made in the darkness
Promises made in your sleep
Promises the gods demand you keep

You gave him love
Love he would soon betray
You gave him life
I am the price you'll pay
Sure as the grave
You must accept what is
Now your life is forever mine...
(He pulls a knife and seems about to kill
Ti Moune)

TI MOUNE
Don't! Please!

PAPA GE
Trade yours for his!

TI MOUNE
What?

PAPA GE
You loved him. You saved him.
And he betrayed you.
Why should you die for him now?
Kill him, Ti Moune.
Kill the love you feel.
Prove that death is stronger than love and
you can have your own life again.
Just as if you had never loved at all.

PAPA GE
I am the
Road
Leading to
No return

ERZULIE
The Courage of A dreamer

PAPA GE
Secret of
Life
Finally his
To learn

ERZULIE
You are
Part

PAPA GE
I am the car

Racing
Toward
Distant
Shores

ERZULIE
Part of
The human Heart

PAPA GE
Now his life
Is forever
Mine
Forever...

STROYTELLERS
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah...

TI MOUNE
I can't!

Daniel, I love you.

STORYTELLER
And Ti Moune was cast out of the Hotel
Beauxhomme, and the gates slammed shut
Behind her.

TI MOUNE
The gods sent me.
They want me to be with
Him. Tell Daniel I'm here.
Tell him. Tell him

[Thanks to Dani Starr for lyrics]
