Something About This Night

Boardway Album
[Frohman:] I can feel it Anticipation in the air Something just beyond compare To any other night I swear

I can feel my heart is beating much too fast No more looking to the past Could this be the one at last?

[Frohman & Elliot:] Oh, all the years I have waited for this one night is everything I can't be certain but something is different I'm sure I have never felt like this before

[Actors:] Something about this night that I cannot express Excitement or nervousness How it ends, I couldn't guess

But there is something about this night that I just can't ignore All the sweat and tears and more Have made this all worth fighting for

If there is one chance this could be the one to beat our expectation…

[Frohman:] Something about this night

[Actors:] Oh, something about this night

[Barrie:] At the start of the show when nobody knows Just what to expect or believe The tension is high and the silence is loud And it's getting much harder to breathe

[Peter:] I'm so proud of what you created After all of the time you have waited

[Peter & Barrie:] I wanted to say but the words wouldn't come out right It must be something about this night

[Actors:] Something about this night that I just can't ignore All the sweat and tears and more Have made this all worth fighting for If there is one chance this could be the one for every generation

Something about this night Oh, something about this night Oh, something about this night!

Album
I can see them, See them forming perfect lines, Ladies dressed up to the nines, Gentlemen and Philistines. I can hear them, Everyone's a critic here, Whispering it loud and clear, Is this the failure of the year. Oh, in any other career you would know, Know where you're going to, In any other career they would show you respect, Oh, but here they're never going to. Something about this night, That you just can't forget, They sip champagne, smoke cigarettes, Win or lose you wouldn't bet, Cause there is something about this night, All actors call to one, Chorus line, prepare for song, Is it too late to change everyone? There's only one night to impress unreasonable expectations, Something about this night, oho Something about this night, With only one night to address unreasonable expectations, Something about this night, oho Something about this night. I can see them, Reaching for their daggers now, Hoping I would land face down, Ready to paint me as a clown. I can feel them, Yawning, calling for the end, Oh, they're sharpening their pens, Using all my blood instead of ink. Oh, in any other career you would know, Know where you're going to, In any other career they would show you respect, Oh, but here they're never going to. Something about this night, That you just can't forget, They sip champagne, smoke cigarettes, Win or lose you wouldn't bet, Cause there is something about this night, All actors call to one, Chorus line, prepare for song, Is it too late to change everyone? There's only one night to impress unreasonable expectations, Something about this night, oho Something about this night, With only one night to address unreasonable expectations, Something about this night, oho Something about this night. It's a fight, it's a shove, It's a labour of love, It's a journey to know where you've seen, It's over, it's thankless, I have taken my chances. Does anyone know what I mean? If there's ever a time I should stay low, If there's ever a time I should say no, Waiting for sixhundred people to make up their minds, Is why there's something about this night - yeah. Cause there's something about this night, That you just can't forget, They sip champagne, smoke cigarettes, Win or lose you wouldn't bet, Cause there is something about this night, All actors call to one, Chorus line, prepare for song, Is it too late to change everyone? There's only one night to impress unreasonable expectations, Something about this night, oho Something about this night, With only one night to address unreasonable expectations, Something about this night, oho Something about this night, oho Something about this night, Something about this night.
