Anastasia

A Rumor In St. Petersburg
Old Woman:
St. Petersburg is gloomy

Young Woman:
St. Petersburg is bleak

Shivering Man:
My underwear got frozen standing here all week

All:
Oh since the revolution our lives have been so gray
Thank goodness for the gossip that gets us through the day, hey!
Have you heard there's a rumor in St. Petersburg?
Have you heard what they're saying on the street?

Man:
Although the Tsar did not survive
One daughter may be still alive

All:
The Princess Anastasia

Man:
But please do not repeat

All:
It's a rumor, a legend, a mystery
Something whispered in an alleyway or through a crack
It's a rumor that's part of our history

Babushka:
They say her royal grandmama will pay a royal sum

All:
To someone who can bring the princess back

Black Marketeer #1:
A ruble for this painting
It's Romamov, I swear

Black Marketeer #2:
Count Yusopov's pajamas
Comrades, buy the par

Black Marketeer #3:
I got this from the palace
It's lined with real fur

Black Marketeers and Dimitri:
It could be worth a fortune
If it belonged to her

Dimitri:
It's the rumor, the legend, the mystery
It's the Princess Anastasia who will help us fly
You and I, friend, will go down in history
We'll find a girl to play the part
And teach her what to say
Dress her up and take her to Paris
Imagine the reward
Her dear old grandmama will pay
Who else could pull it off but you and me?
We'll be rich

Vladimir:
We'll be rich

Dimitri:
We'll be out

Vladimir:
We'll be out

Dimitri and Vladimir:
And St. Petersburg will have some more to talk about

All:
Have you heard there's a rumor in St. Petersburg?
Have you heard what they're saying on the street?
Hey, hey, hey
Have you heard there's a rumor in St. Petersburg?
Have you heard? Comrades, what do you suppose?
A fascinating mystery

Dimitri:
The biggest con in history

All:
The Princess Anastasia, alive or dead?

Window Washer:
Who knows?

Journey To The Past
Anastasia:
Heart, don't fail me now
Courage, don't desert me
Don't turn back now that we're here
People always say
Life is full of choices
No one ever mentions fear
Or how the world can seem so vast
On a journey to the past
Somewhere down this road
I know someone's waiting
Years of dreams just can't be wrong
Arms will open wide
I'll be safe and wanted
Finally home where I belong
Well, starting now I'm learning fast
On this journey to the past
Home, love, family
There was once a time I must have had them, too
Home, love, family
I will never be complete until I find you
One step at a time
One hope, then another
Who knows where this road may go?
Back to who I was
On to find my future
Things my heart still needs to know
Yes, let this be a sign
Let this road be mine
Let it lead me to my past
And bring me home at last

Once Upon A December
Anastasia:
Dancing bears, painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

In The Dark Of The Night
Rasputin:
In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning
And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be
It scared me out of my wits
A corpse falling to bits
Then I opened my eyes and the nightmare was me
I was once the most mystical man in all Russia
When the royals betrayed me they made a mistake
My curse made each of them pay
But one little girl got away
Little Anya, beware, Raputin's awake

Creatures:
In the dark of the night evil will find her
In the dark of the night just before dawn

Rasputin:
Revenge will be sweet

Creatures and Rasputin:
When the curse is complete
In the dark of the night

Rasputin:
She'll be gone
I can feel that my powers are slowly returning
Tie my sash and a dash of cologne for that smell
As the pieces fall into place
I'll see her crawl into place
Dasvidanya, Anya, your grace, farewell

Creatures:
In the dark of the night terror will find her

Rasputin:
Terror's the least I can do

Creatures:
In the dark of the night evil will brew

Creatures and Rasputin:
Soon she will feel

Rasputin:
That her nightmares are real

Creatures:
In the dark of the night

Rasputin:
She'll be through

Creatures:
In the dark of the night evil will find her
In the dark of the night terror comes true

Rasputin:
My dear, here's a sign

Creatures and Rasputin:
It's the end of the line
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night

Rasputin:
Come, my minions, rise for your master
Let your evil shine

Creatures:
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night

Rasputin:
Find her now, yes, fly ever faster

Creatures:
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night

Rasputin:
She'll be mine

Learn To Do It
Vladimir:
You were born in a palace by the sea

Anastasia:
A palace by the sea, could it be?

Vladimir:
Yes, that's right
You rode horseback when you were only three

Anastasia:
Horseback riding, me?

Vladimir:
And the horse

Dimitri:
He was white

Vladimir:
You made faces and terrorized the cook

Dimitri:
Threw him in the brook

Anastasia:
Was I wild?

Dimitri:
Wrote the book

Vladimir:
But you'd behave when your father gave that look

Dimitri:
Imagine how it was

Vladimir:
Your long-forgotten past

Vladimir and Dimitri:
We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is going fast

Anastasia:
All right, I'm ready

Vladimir:
Now, shoulders back and stand up tall

Dimitri:
And do not walk but try to float

Anastasia:
I feel a little foolish, am I floating?

Vladimir:
Like a little boat

Dimitri:
You give a bow

Anastasia:
What happens now?

Vladimir:
Your hand receives a kiss

Vladimir and Dimitri:
Most of all remember this

Vladimir:
If I can learn to do it
You can learn to do it

Dimitri:
Something in you knows it

Vladimir and Dimitri:
There's nothing to it

Vladimir:
Follow in my footsteps, shoe by shoe

Vladimir and Dimitri:
You can learn to do it too

Vladimir:
Now, elbows in and sit up straight

Dimitri:
And never slurp the stroganoff

Anastasia:
I never cared for stroganoff

Vladimir:
She said that like a Romanov

Dimitri:
The Samovar

Vladimir:
The caviar

Anastasia:
Dessert and then good night?

Vladimir and Dimitri:
Not until you get this right

Vladimir:
If I can learn to do it

Dimitri:
If he can learn to do it

Vladimir:
You can learn to do it

Dimitri:
You can learn to do it

Vladimir:
Pull yourself together

Vladimir and Dimitri:
And you'll pull through it

Vladimir:
Tell yourself it's easy

Vladimir and Dimitri:
And it's true
You can learn to do it too

Vladimir:
Next we memorize the names of the royalty.
Now here we have Kropotkin

Dimitri:
Shot Potemkin

Vladimir:
In the Botkin
And dear old uncle Vanya loved his vodka

Dimitri:
Got it, Anya?

Anastasia:
No

Vladimir:
The Baron Pushkin

Anastasia:
He was?

Dimitri:
Short

Vladimir:
Count Anatoly

Anastasia:
Had a

Dimitri:
Wart

Vladimir:
Count Sergei

Dimitri:
Wore a feathered hat

Vladimir:
I hear he's gotten very fat

Anastasia:
And I recall his yellow cat

Vladimir:
I don't believe we told her that

Anastasia:
If you can learn to do it
I can learn to do it

Vladimir:
Don't know how you knew it

Anastasia:
I simply knew it
Suddenly I feel like someone new

Vladimir and Dimitri:
Anya, you're a dream come true
If I can learn to do it

Anastasia:
If I can learn to do it

Vladimir and Dimitri:
You can learn to do it

Anastasia:
You can learn to do it

Vladimir and Dimitri:
Pull yourself together

Vladimir, Dimitri and Anastasia:
And you'll pull through it

Vladimir:
Tell yourself it's easy

Vladimir, Dimitri and Anastasia:
And it's true

Vladimir and Dimitri:
You can learn to do it

Anastasia:
Nothing to it

Vladimir, Dimitri and Anastasia:
You can learn to do it too

Learn To Do It (Waltz Reprise)
Vladimir:
It's one, two, three
And suddenly
I see it at a glance
She's radiant
And confident
And born to take this chance
I taught her well
I planned it all
I just forgot romance
Vlad, how could you do this?
How will we get through this?
I never should have let them dance

At The Beginning
Richard Marx and Donna Lewis
We were strangers starting out on a journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start

Chorus:
And life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

(Chorus)

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

(Chorus)

Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Journey To The Past
Aaliyah
Heart, don't fail me now
Courage, don't desert me
Don't turn back now that we're here
People always say
Life is full of choices
No one ever mentions fear
Or how a road can seem so long
How the world can seem so vast
Courage, see me through
Heart, I'm trusting you
On this journey to the past

Somewhere down this road
I know someone's waiting
Years of dreams just can't be wrong
Arms will open wide
I'll be safe and wanted
Finally home where I belong
Well, starting here my life begins
Starting now I'm learning fast
Courage, see me through
Heart, I'm trusting you
On this journey to the past

Heart, don't fail me now
Courage, don't desert me

Home, love, family
There was once a time I must have had them too
Home, love, family
I will never be complete until I find you

One step at a time
One hope then another
Who knows where this road may go
Back to who I was
On to find my future
Things my heart still needs to know
Yes, let this be a sign
Let this road be mine
Let it lead me to my past
Courage, see me through
Heart, I'm trusting you
To bring me home at last, at last

Once Upon A December
Deana Carter
Dancing bears, painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember

And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

Viaje tiempo atrás (Journy To The Past)
Thalia
Anda, vamos ya
Corazón, no temas
No te vas a detener
Me parece que
Tengo mil opciones
No sé a quién volveré a ver
O que tan lejos llegaré
En un viaje tiempo atrás

En algún lugar
Alguien me recuerda
Sueño que será verdad
Me recibirán
Con gran bienvenida
Finalmente sin maldad
Y desde ahora aprenderás
En un viaje tiempo atrás

Con mi familia
Sé que alguna vez también estuve yo
A mis padres
Con amor los buscaré hasta encontrarlos

Paso a paso
Y sembrando mi esperanza
No sé en dónde iré a parar
Voy a un lugar
A formar mi vida
Cien misterios aclarar
Sí, ésta es mi señal
Hoy he de volver
A reunirme con mi paz
Y ver por fin mi hogar
