What Happened To Us : SONG LYRICS

OUT IN THE BLUE


MIKE
As I stare out in the blue
I wonder what became of you
and ask why did we have that fight?

(Mike walks over to the couch and sits down)

SIERRA
As I gaze at the moonlit sky
I think of you and want to cry.
I can't bare a stormy night,

BOTH
Cause that's when we had that fight.

MIKE
It was me. I was wrong.
Alone now for so long.
What is there for me to do?

SIERRA
I was to blame.
Nothing is the same.
I don't think that I can go on,

BOTH
Now that you are gone.

MIKE
I remember holding hands
on the moonlit sands
on our first night together.

SIERRA
We walked along the shore
who could ask could for more
we were both in love.

BOTH
And I still am

MIKE
I know I'm still in love

SIERRA
It's all I can think of

BOTH
I need you back again


NEVER OUT OF FASHION


MIKE
Fads may come and fads may go
But I still love you so.

SIERRA
I loved you then like I love you now
though destiny didn't allow.

CHORUS - SIERRA
Every time I think of you,
on those empty sleepless nights
my heart fills with warmth and passion.
Darling, loving you will never go out of fashion.

MIKE
You said you loved me ages ago
I believed it then, but know I don't know.

SIERRA
Then I look at your photo in its silver frame
I know life will never be the same.

CHORUS - MIKE

MIKE
Memories, stained with age,
only bring pain and rage.

SIERRA
If you were here with me right now,
I'd make it work, that I vow.

BOTH
CHORUS, REPEAT 3x.


LOVE IS FOR A MATURE AUDIENCE

MIKE
When you're in love nothing else matters
People can hear your heart as it patters

SIERRA
But you're foolish, when you're young
You think all the songs have been sung

MIKE
You act like a jerk, when you come from work
Yelling and shouting, sulking and pouting

CHORUS - MIKE
Love is for a mature audience
No one under thirty admitted
without a broken heart

SIERRA
You think you know the way things go
acting like a fool, who's never been to school.

CHORUS - SIERRA

MIKE
If you've loved and lost please feel free
to join the club of misery
Young people just don't understand
what being in love demands

CHORUS - BOTH

SIERRA
Love is like a game played by fools
Once you get it right, they change the rules
Love is like a movie with a new ending every time
or like a lyric with out reason or rhyme.

CHORUS - BOTH - REPEAT


BABY CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED TO US?

MIKE:
Baby can you tell me what happened to us?
We used to be such a perfect pair.
Baby can you tell me what happened to us?
I cant go on knowing your not there.

SIERRA
My alarm clock screams
wakes me from dreams of you
I have no one to hold
the bed is so cold, its getting colder.

MIKE
I would lie there in bed
images in my head of both of us.
In my dreams you're there
I see your smile and smell your hair

SIERRA
BRIDGE I
Oh I can see you
I can feel you
I can touch you in my dreams

(both stand up)
CHORUS - BOTH
Baby can you tell me what happened to us?
We used to be such a perfect pair.
Baby can you tell me what happened to us?
I can't go on knowing you're not there.

MIKE
Bridge II
Oh I can see you
I can feel you
I can love you in my dreams

MIKE
But then my alarm clock screams
wakes me from my dreams of you
When I wake up,
my heart just breaks up
cause you're not there

Chorus, Bridge I, Chorus, Bridge II, Chorus,


LOVE IS SUCH A PAIN IN THE REAR


Love is such a pain in the rear.
Darling, honey, baby, dear.
Kissy poo my sweetie pie.
Gag me. I want to die.

See how their eyes meet.
Gosh isn't it sweet.
I think they may be in love,
smiled upon by angels above.

I rather sit home with a beer
Cause love is such a pain in the rear.

What's for dinner dear, I can't wait.
You should have called if you'd be late.
I'm sorry hon. I had things to do.
You'd have called if you loved me true.

Love is such a pain in the rear.
Darling, honey, baby, dear.
Kissy poo my sweetie pie
Gag me. I want to die.

I rather sit home with a beer
Cause love is such a pain in the rear.

Hey, I don't care, I won't give you any lip.
As long as you don't forget my tip!




SIERRA, OH MICHAEL


MIKE
Si - er - ra
You were the light
That shined in me.

Si - er - ra
I need you back
I've changed, you'll see.

I'm sincere,
look in my eyes

Si - er - ra
please let me apologize.

SIERRA

I can't it's not right
I'm the one who caused the fight

Michael, oh Michael
I was wrong, please forgive.
Being alone is no way to live.

Michael, oh Michael
We've wasted so many years.
I've shed so many tears.

Michael, Oh Michael
I need you to be with me.

Michael, oh Michael
Please accept my apology.

MIKE

Si - er - ra
I need you back, I can't go on.

Si - er - ra
please accept, my apology.


THESE ELECTRIC NIGHTS



OLD SIERRA
You've got me burning, I'm on fi-re.
This night's electric, you're a live wire.

OLD MIKE
Just hold me close as our passion ignites.
We'll be dancing together through these Electric nights.

(Young Mike and Sierra enter)

YOUNG MIKE
When you touch me, I feel surreal.
Can't imagine that this is real.

YOUNG SIERRA
Take my hand and hold on tight.
And we'll dance together all these electric nights.

OLD MIKE AND SIERRA
We have the future we learned from the past.
Now that you're back in my arms at last.
Just hold me close as our passion ignites.
We'll be dancing together through these electric nights.

(Jane and Gary enter)

ALL
You've got me burning, I'm on fire.
This night's electric, you're a live wire.
When you touch me, I feel surreal.
Can't imagine that this is real.
We have the future we learned from the past.
Now that you're back in my arms at last.
Take my hand and hold on tight.
And we'll dance together all these electric nights.
Just hold me close as our passion ignites.
We'll be dancing together through these electric nights.
We'll be dancing together through these electric nights.
We'll be dancing together through these electric nights.
