The Witches of Eastwick the Musical - Your Wildest Dreams Lyrics
The song is written by Dana P. Rowe and John Dempsey.
DARRYL (spoken):
The chubby teenager giving handies in the back of school bus 62,
Now the zaftig housewife any man can have the price of a sideways
Glance. Fully clothed, mind you. And always with the lights off.
ALEXANDRA (spoken):
(Turning away.) go to hell.
DARRYL:
Sitting at your wheel ev'ry day
Your little work, far too meager.
ALEXANDRA (spoken):
You can stop there, darryl.
DARRYL:
Stifling in your cot ev'ry night
On trifling desires.
ALEXANDRA (spoken):
That's uncalled for, darryl.
DARRYL:
Artists can't be pliant as clay,
Too acquiescent or eager.
Alexandra (spoken):
That's enough now, darryl.
DARRYL:
I beg you dear, rise up to the height
And size your promise requires,
My alex andr a . . .
ALEXANDRA:
Jesus christ almighty, the nerve.
What sort of world do you live in?
DARRYL:
Clearly not in yours, dear . . .
ALEXANDRA:
What's the point of putting me down?
What's in it for you?
DARRYL:
Why so quick to bruise, dear . . . ?
ALEXANDRA:
What i lack or what i deserve;
This is the life i've been given.
DARRYL:
Let me be your muse, dear . . .
ALEXANDRA:
It sucks to be stuck here in this town,
But what on earth can i do?
DARRYL:
It's very simple . . .
Dream your wildest dreams.
Embr ace your potential.
Dream your wildest dreams.
Be all you can be.
Bare it for all god's creation to see.
Risk it and explore the extremes.
Live the larger life and dream
The wildest of dreams.
ALEXANDRA:
Darryl, just drop the b.S.
You're off the mark by a score.
Why pick a fight you can't win?
You're talking things you don't know.
DARRYL:
Alex, why settle for less
When you were put here for more?
Why picket fence yourself in
When you deserve room to grow?
ALEXANDRA (To herself.):
How is it this man can see right
Into my fears and frustr ations?
DARRYL:
(A voice in Alex's mind.)
All the years you squandered . . .
ALEXANDRA:
Am I really wasting away
Or can there be more?
DARRYL:
Living life for who, dear?
ALEXANDRA:
If I dared to let in some light
Put myself in my creations
DARRYL:
Now's the time for you, dear.
ALEXANDRA:
Moved beyond a handful of clay
And let my instincts explore
The larger canvas . . .
DARRYL:
Smoother and fuller
+ ALEXANDRA:
And softer and sounder
Sweeter and rounder
Little mir acles.
ALEXANDRA: JANE:
Smoother G . . .
And fuller F sharp . . .
And softer F . . .
And sounder E . . .
Sweeter G . . .
And rounder F sharp . . .
ALEXANDRA / JANE:
Little mir acles
ALEXANDRA: JANE: SUKIE:
Warmer G . . . I have to . . .
And richer F sharp . . . I need to . . .
And larger F . . . I want to . . .
And louder E . . . Ideas . . .
Br aver G . . . I see now . . .
And prouder F sharp . . . A poem . . .
ALL THREE:
Little mir acles . . .
ALEXANDRA: JANE: SUKIE:
Bolder G . . . A stanza . . .
And taller F sharp . . . I see it . . .
And broader F . . . I'll write it . . .
And longer E . . . I'll be it . . .
Freer G . . . A couplet . . .
And stronger F sharp . . . In rhyme . . .
ALL THREE:
Little mir acles . . .
DARRYL: (As sukie and jane disappear.)
Alex andr a,
Find your wildest . . .
Trust your wildest . . .
Be your wildest . . .
ALEXANDRA / DARRYL:
Dream my / Your wildest dreams,
Pursue my / Your potential.
Own my / Your own largesse,
Be all I / You can be.
ALEXANDRA:
Pound upon pound, be resoundingly me.
DARRYL:
Risk it and explore the extremes.
ALEXANDRA:
Sculpt the larger life.
Dare the larger dare.
Love the larger me!
ALEXANDRA / DARRYL:
And live the wildest of dreams!
