Laila's Time to Sing

Guest

I walk into the Amphitheater. I look down and I start singing "Rose's Turn" from the musical Gypsy.

"Why did I do it?
What did it get me?
Scrapbooks full of me in the background.
Give 'em love and what does it get ya?
What does it get ya?
One quick look as each of 'em leaves you.
All your life and what does it get ya?
Thanks a lot and out with the garbage,
They take bows and you're battin' zero.

I had a dream.
I dreamed it for you, Mom.
It wasn't for me, Mom.
And if it wasn't for me
then where would you be,
Miss Gypsy Rose Lee?

Well, someone tell me, when is it my turn?
Don't I get a dream for myself?
Starting now it's gonna be my turn.
Gangway, world, get off of my runway!
Starting now I bat a thousand!
This time, boys, I'm taking the bows and

everything's coming up Rose!
Everything's coming up roses!
Everything's coming up roses
this time for me!
For me! For me! For me! For me! For me!
For me! Yeah!"

I finish and I fall to the ground and breathe heavily.

I sniffle and try to wipe away my tears, "I don't know. I'm exhausted though. You wouldn't happen to have any water would you?"

Guest

I came onto the stage and clapped."Brava,I love that movie,great song."I said excitedly.

Guest

"Thanks," I say smiling after taking Jesabelle's water and catching my breath. "It speaks to me you know?"

"What do ya mean." I say.

Guest

"If you really know me, or if your really know my story. And if you read the lyrics, you would understand," I say remembering the good and the bad memories. I sit down and break down crying. "I'm sorry, don't mind me."

"It's okay" I say.

Guest

"It's just...my mom." I blurt out, not being careful with what I was saying.

"I kinda heard that in the lyrics." I say.

Guest

I laugh, "Sorry, I'm being stupid. Of course you did."

"No you aren't." I say.

Guest

"Enough about me, what did you want to do today?" I ask.

"Let's hang out in the cabin today." I say.

Guest

I lay down on my bed wanting to sleep, but I keep tossing and turning. Having strange daydreams. Hoping to put me to sleep, I take out my guitar and play a little tune.

"Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper, "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
"Dream a little dream of me"

Say "nighty-night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading, but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss,
I'm longing to linger 'till dawn, dear
Just saying this
"Sweet dreams, 'till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me"

(Instrumental break)

Stars fading, but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss,
I'm longing to linger 'till dawn, dear
Just saying this
"Sweet dreams, 'till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me"
Da-da-da-da-da-daaaa-daaa-da-da-dada
(whistling)

Just as I thought, singing my favorite song and hopefully my wedding song put me right to slumber.

"That's a beautiful song," I say thinkiing about my biggest dream since I was 5. Then I stop thinking about it and think about something else!

Guest

"Thanks, it's my favorite song," I add.

"Cool," I say grabbing another strawberry from my hands and eating it. "This is a song I wrote...
"I walk to the premeire of my debuting movie,
It's somethin' I can not beleive.
I look through the crowd,
It makes me so proud.
Suddenly I'm surrounded.

I see an actor who says hi,
We dance and I almost si-i-i-igh.
Oh how I love dancing,
It feels like prancing.
There's also the spinning,
It keeps me grinning.

I see my roomie,
They start the movie.
It starts with a peaceful song.
Everyone sings along.
Everyone starts to dance,
While watching my big performance.

I see an actor who says hi,
We dance and I almost si-i-i-gh.
Oh how I love dancing,
It feels like prancing.
There's also the spinning,
It keeps me grinning.

Everyone stops there dance,
Its like I'm in a trance.
dadadadadadadada
I can't beleive this,
Theres nothing here that I won't miss.

I see an actor who says hi,
We dance and I almost si-i-i-igh.
Oh how I love dancing,
It feels like prancing.
There's also the spinning,
It keeps me grinning.

I love dancin'
I love dancin'

"Mmmm," I contemplate.

"What is it?" I say wondering what is she thinking about...

Guest

"Nothing," I say not giving a straight answer.

Subject: Re: Laila's Time to Sing Thu Aug 05, 2010 8:04 pm

"Okay?" I say thinking she is lying, but probally for a good reason!
