Now that I've Seen Her (from Miss Saigon)

It's alright
It's alright when you just imagine
There's no face
She's not real
And you can tell yourself it's all okay
But she's here
And my heart cries, "this isn't happening"
But the truth is cold and real
And I know this storm won't go away

Now that I've seen her
There's no way to hide
She is not some fling from long ago
Now that I've seen her
I know why he lied
And I think it was better when I didn't know...

In her eyes
In her voice
In the heat that filled the air
Part of him still lingers there
I know what pain her life today must be
But if it all comes down to her or me
I don't care
I swear I'll fight.

Now that I've seen her
she's more than a name
I don't hate this girl
Even so
Now that I've seen her
I can't stay the same
Who's the man that I always trusted
Now I have to know...


...and it's so ironic that the GI should be named Chris.... I hate these parallels.. >;(
