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]
