Micaela Diamond - The Soldier's Dream Lyrics

[FRITZ]
Oh my God
That soldier—

[COLONEL MARTIN, spoken]
That lieutenant—

[FRITZ]
—That lieutenant is so—

[MARIANNE]
Soulful

[CLAUDIA]
Gorgeous

[RAFFAEL]
Dreamy

[COLONEL MARTIN, spoken]
Funny you should say dreamy
You see, my soulful, gorgeous lieutenant had a fascinating dream last night
At ease, lieutenant
Tell us your dream

[SOLDIER]
I was in a café
Which looked somewhat like this
Sitting next to a girl
Who looked something like you
And she whispered her name
I've forgotten her name
But the name was like music—

[FRITZ, spoken]
"Fritz"

[SOLDIER, spoken]
That was it!
That was it!

[SOLDIER]
And you and you were there
And you and you and you—
All wearing shrouds

[ITALIAN WAITER, spoken]
A shroud, anyonе? A shroud?

[SOLDIER]
And then I noticed that you'd all been dead for yеars

[ITALIAN WAITER, spoken]
A shroud, signora?

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
Shh!

[SOLDIER]
Except for the girl with a name like a rainbow...

[FRITZ, spoken]
"Fritz"

[SOLDIER]
Oh, my God!

[FRITZ]
Oh, my God!

[LEO, spoken]
That was it? That's the dream?

[SOLDIER]
Then my mother came in—

[PAUL, spoken]
Of course

[SOLDIER]
She was holding a sheep

[PAUL, spoken]
What else?

[SOLDIER]
And she said to me:

[SOLDIER'S MOTHER]
Honey, stop dreaming!

[SOLDIER]
So I started to wake
But the girl with the name
Took a hold of my hand and said—

[FRITZ]
"Never forget me"

[SOLDIER]
Though how could I forget her
When we never had met?
Then I looked in her eyes
And I thought:
Oh my God

[FRITZ]
Oh my God

[SOLDIER]
It's the end of the world
There is nothing but you
I've been looking for love all my life
I've no farther to go
I want only to be with you
Live with you
Die with you
That much I know
Then my mother came in

[PAUL, spoken]
Again?

[SOLDIER]
And I saw that the sheep was stuffed
And the sky was cloth
And the clouds were just paint
And the food was just rubber...

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
He's right! It is rubber!

[LEO, spoken]
This isn't wine, it's goddamn cherry soda!

[RAFFAEL, spoken]
It's too bad
I was rather enjoying the Brie

[SOLDIER]
Then a curtain went up
And I realized we were all in a play
On a stage
In a theater

[The house lights suddenly turn on with a thunk.]

[MARIANNE, spoken]
Who are those people?

[LEO, spoken]
What the f*ck?

[PAUL, spoken]
I don't know my lines

[SOLDIER]
Then I looked in her eyes
And I thought:
If it's only a play—

[FRITZ]
Oh my God
Oh my God, oh my God

[SOLDIER]
—Still, it's given me you

[FRITZ]
Oh my God

[SOLDIER]
I've been looking so long...

[FRITZ]
This is not what I need—

[SOLDIER]
You are all that I need—

[FRITZ]
Not yet—

[SOLDIER]
In my life—

[FRITZ]
Not now

[SOLDIER]
Only you—

[FRITZ & SOLDIER]
I don't have any room
In my life— And me—

[SOLDIER]
For now—

[FRITZ]
For this—
For you—

[SOLDIER & FRITZ]
Forever!
All I need is to be with you
Live with you
Die with you I've got
That much I know Too much to do

[FRITZ]
There's just not enough time—
Then I look in your eyes
And I think, "Holy crap
It's the end of the—"

[SOLDIER]
Then a train passed through

[A train passes through.]

[SOLDIER]
And I suddenly knew
It was not just the end of the world
But the end of the play

[SOLDIER, spoken]
And the end of my dream

[FRITZ]
Oh my God
Oh my God
