The Fall Of Saigon

The Fall Of Saigon (Original London Cast Recording/1989) - Peter Polycarpou/Lea Salonga/Simon Bowman

Written by：Claude/Michel Schönberg

Sorry sergeant we must accelerate

State department says we evacuate

The word is we must be out by dawn

Christ

Sorry sergeant it's straight from Washington

No one leaves the grounds now not anyone

As fast as we load the planes we're gone

But my girl's out there

Ok keep quiet don't shout

The ambassador won't leave till everyone's out

The choppers on their way there's room for you all

Their climbing over the wall

Get back

Get back I tell you don't shout

The ambassador won't leave till everyone's out

The ambassador just sent an order to freeze

That's it

No more Vietnamese

Get in

But my girl's out there

I'm the wife of a soldier

Please let me through

Help me who must I pay

Tell me what I must do

Let me out I got to go back for my bride

Listen someone

My husband is waiting inside

Please Kim hear the phone

I can't get there please be home

Please Chris no one sees

I am lost here

Find me please

Please get me through

I don't care how

Don't take my love away not now

Oh Chris oh Kim

I can't get free

Please get free

Still I'm with you

Wait for me

Sorry sergeant inside the embassy

We are pulling out now and there will be

No more reprives

I got till the old man leaves

Chris don't be a schmuck

The ambassador is leaving now

Take me with you

Take my children

I have a letter from

I helped the C I A

They'll kill who they find here

Don't leave us behind here

I've a wife who left already

I've an aunt in New York

I have gold I can pay

There is no one left to find here

They have left us all behind here

I must get in there

Listen anyone

Please tell my husband

Look I have his gun

Out of my way if that's all you've got

If I am here when they come I'll be shot

Let me go John

I can't leave her

Why in the world should I be saved

Instead of her

They'll kill who they find here

Don't leave us behind here

It's not you

It's war that cruel

And if some dreams get smashed

Perhaps it's best if they were

There's no one to find here

They have left us behind here

Wake up my friend

Your mercy trip has failed

There's nothing you can do

That ship has sailed

She's not the only one

We'll have betrayed

Get to the roof

Or else we are betrayed

Oh Chris

I still believe

The heart of you

Is here with me

My heart against all odds

Holds still
