Here We Are - Lon Hoyt, Original Broadway Cast of On Your Feet: The Musical

Here we are, face to face

We forget time and place

Hold me now, don’t let go

Though it may hurt and we both know

The time we spend together’s gonna fly

And everything you do to me

Is gonna feel so right

Baby, when you’re loving me

I feel like I could cry

And there’s nothing I can do

To keep from loving you

Are you listening to me?

What?

Yes or no?

I don’t know what you were saying.

I asked you if you would dance with me.

Yes.

(Gloria and Emilio start dancing.)

There’s nothing I can do

I’m helpless in your arms

Oh baby, what you do

I’m in love and this is it

There’s no turning back this time

No, no, no

Here we are, all alone

Trembling hearts beating strong

Reaching out, breathless kiss

I never thought could feel like this

I wanna stop the time from passing by

I wanna close my eyes and feel

Your lips are touching mine

Baby, when you’re close to me

I want you more each time

'Cause there’s nothing I can do

To keep from loving you

(Fireworks start going off in the distance.)

There’s nothing I can do

There’s nothing I can do

There’s nothing I can do

There’s nothing I can do

There’s nothing I can do

There’s nothing I can do

And there’s nothing I can do

To keep from loving you

(Fireworks get louder. Gloria and Emilio kiss. Cut to Gloria at home,

taking care of her father.)

Isn’t it crazy, Papi?

It’s happening so fast.

And do you wanna hear something

really-- The other day we’re driving by the beach and, I don’t know,

talking about a lyric or something, and just out of the clear blue sky he

turns to me and says, (Gloria mimics Emilio’s accent.) «You know,

if we got married, I bet we’d get along really well.»

What the hell is that?!

I mean, who brings it up that way, you know?

I love him.

And you should hear

how crazy he gets when he talks about the music and our future!

That passion is

so-- Got any advice?
