When We Dance (Broadway Cast Version)

Gideon:

If he loved you

Like I love you

I would walk away in shame

I'd move town, I'd change my name

When he watches you

When he counts to buy your soul

On your hand his golden ring

Like he owns a bird that sings

When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings

The priest has said my soul's salvation

Is in the balance of the angels

And underneath the wheels of passion

I keep the faith in my fashion

When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings

Meg:

After 15 years gonе, what makes you think you can say these things to mе?

Gideon:

I thought of you every day for 15 years. Tell me it wasn't the same for you

Meg:

It wasn't

Gideon:

I'm still in love with you

Meg:

I have a home. I have a son

Gideon/Meg:

I'm gonna find a place to live

Give you all I got to give/When we dance

I'm gonna love you more than life

If you'll only be my wife/Angels will run and hide their wings

I'm gonna love you night and day

I'm gonna try it every way

I'm gonna find a place to live/When we dance

Give you all I got to give/Angels will run and hide their wings

I'm gonna love you more than life

If you'll only be my wife

Gideon:

If I could break down these walls

And shout my name at heaven's gate

And take these hands and I'd destroy

The dark machineries of fate

Cathedrals are broken and heaven's no longer above

Hellfire's a promise away

I'd still be saying I'm still in love

I'm still in love

I'm still in love

Arthur:

He won't love you like I love you

He won't care for you this way

He'll mistreat you if you stay

Arthur/Gideon:

Come and live with me

We'll have children of our own

I will love you more than life

If you'll only be my wife

Gideon/Meg:

When we dance

Angels will run and hide their wings///

Arthur:

I'm gonna love you night and day

I'm gonna try in every way

I'm gonna build a place to live

Give you all I've got to give

Gideon/Arthur/Meg:

When we dance

Gideon:

I had a dream last night

I dreamt you were by my side

I had a dream
