A Step Too Far - Elton John, Heather Headley, Sherie Scott

Amneris:

It’s so strange he doesn’t show me More affection than he needs

Almost formal, too respectful

Never takes romantic leads

There are times when I imagine

I’m not always on his mind

He’s not thinking what I’m thinking

Always half a step behind

Always half a step behind.

Radames:

I’m in every kind of trouble

Can’t you tell, just look at me Half ecstatic, half dejected

All in all I’m all at sea

Easy turns I thought I wanted

Fill me now with chilling dread

You can never know the chaos

Of a life turned on it’s head

Of a life turned on it’s head.

Aida:

I am certain that I love him

But a love can be misplaced

Have I compromised my people

In my passion and my haste

I could be his life companion

Anywhere but where we are

Am I leader, am I traitor

Did I take a step too far

Did I take a step too far?

(All three then sing their part together)

All:

Did I take a step too far?
