Forever Yours (Reprise)
PAPA GE
There were promises
Made in the darkness
Promises made in your sleep
Promises the gods demand you keep
You gave him love
Love he would soon betray
You gave him life
I am the price you'll pay
Sure as the grave
You must accept what is
Now your life is forever mine...
TI MOUNE
Don't! Please!
PAPA GE
Trade yours for his!
TI MOUNE
What?
PAPA GE
You loved him. You saved him. And he betrayed
you. Why should you die for him now?
Kill him, Ti Moune.
Kill the love you feel.
Prove that death is stronger than love and
you can have your own life again.
Just as if you had never loved at all.
PAPA GE
I am the road
Leading to no return
ERZULIE
The Courage of a dreamer
PAPA GE
Secret of life
Finally his to learn
ERZULIE
You are part
PAPA GE
I am the car racing toward distant shores
ERZULIE
Part of the human heart
PAPA GE
Now his life is forever mine
Forever...
STORYTELLERS
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah...
TI MOUNE
I can't!
Daniel, I love you.
STORYTELLER
And Ti Moune was cast out of the Hotel
Beauxhomme, and the gates slammed shut behind her.
TI MOUNE
The gods sent me. They want me to be with
him. Tell Daniel I'm here. Tell him. Tell him I'm waiting for him at the gate. Tell him Ti Moune is waiting for him
