Broadway 2017 Amelie the Musical - Halfway Lyrics
"Halfway" is a song from Amelie performed by Savvy Crawford (Young Amelie) and Phillipa Soo (Amelie).
YOUNG AMELIE: In my mother's school house I would sit at the kitchen table and listen to her teach geometry She taught me about distance She taught a lesson about a boat that is sailing the sea Trying to get from point A to B
So the little boat's traveling at full sail And it's trying to reach the shore But whenever the boat gets halfway there There's always halfway more
You take half of half And half of that So on and on and so In my mother's schoolhouse There was always half to go
YOUNG AMEILIE & AMELIE: To go
Phone rings
NINO (spoken): Hello?
Phone rings again
NINO: Hello? I hear you breathing! Come in and buy something or--- Look, if this is you, please give me what belongs to me.
Phone rings
NINO: Who are you?
AMELIE: I'm a mystery wrapped in an enigma trapped in a paradox disappearing into thin air
NINO: Me too
AMELIE: Open your mail
(sung) Little boat, big ocean I'm the girl with the copper spyglass Who prays that today she will spot her shore All at once a lighthouse All at once through the copper spyglass A light telling me to lean in on the oar I start to row
But before I can get anywhere From point A to point B I am at that kitchen table where I'll always be at sea
Take half of half And half of that No matter where I go
YOUNG AMELIE: Little boat, big ocean
YOUNG AMELIE & AMELIE: Little boat big ocean With always halfway to go To go
