Practice, practice

Our house is now a specific musical, not just any and all musicals. It is currently Les Miserables. Kiki is practicing one of the songs (On My Own) for Play Production tryouts and is REALLY practicing...all the time. I personally love it and it starts the whole soundtrack running in my head and I see the stage in my head and I love it, and it's just the perfect pitch for her, not too high. Chris...not so much. He walks around with his death stare on, not even hiding how much he would rather be ANY WHERE but in the same house with the singing, all the singing, and the piano playing, too, oh the HORROR, kill him, kill him now. Poor guy, guess you shouldn't have all these daughters, it's a really long time before Vee is out of the house and you only get to hear me singing. Just thinking about me singing should give him a whole new LOVE for the way our kids sing.

Is the play going to be Les Miserables or is that just for tryouts?

I LOVE IT!!! SING IT KIKI SING IT!

And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to.
Without a home, without a friend
without a face to say hello to
But now the night is near
And I can make-believe he's here

Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him 'til morning
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me

In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say there's a way for us

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers

I love him
But every day I'm lonely
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me, his world will go on turning
The world is full of happiness that I have never known

I love him
I love him
I love him...
But only on my own...
(sniffle)
