As Long as You're Mine--a Surprise

Most people are familiar with "Defying Gravity" and/or "Popular"
being the hit songs from "Wicked"--I heard "As Long As You're Mine" for the
first time on Thursday evening and it blew me away--give it a listen and then
read the words.

As You're Mine" Lyrics





Lyrics from the Broadway Musical Wicked -- "As
Long As You're Mine"


music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz


(Copyright by Stephen Schwartz. Used with permission.)
From the script:
ACT TWO, Scene 4: A clearing in the Great Gillikin Forest. Night. A
campfire.

Elphaba and Fiyero are
alone at last...

ELPHABA
KISS ME TOO
FIERCELY
HOLD ME TOO TIGHT
I NEED HELP BELIEVING
YOU'RE WITH ME
TONIGHT
MY WILDEST DREAMINGS
COULD NOT
FORESEE
LYING BESIDE YOU
WITH YOU WANTING ME

JUST FOR THIS MOMENT
AS LONG AS YOU'RE MINE
I'VE LOST ALL
RESISTANCE
AND CROSSED SOME BORDERLINE
AND IF IT TURNS OUT
IT'S OVER
TOO FAST
I'LL MAKE EV'RY LAST MOMENT LAST
AS LONG AS
YOU'RE MINE…

FIYERO
MAYBE I'M
BRAINLESS
MAYBE I'M WISE
BUT YOU'VE GOT ME SEEING
THROUGH DIFFERENT
EYES
SOMEHOW I'VE FALLEN
UNDER YOUR SPELL
AND SOMEHOW I'M
FEELING
IT'S "UP" THAT I FELL ...

BOTH
EVERY MOMENT
AS LONG AS YOU'RE
MINE
I'LL WAKE UP MY BODY
AND MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME...

FIYERO
SAY THERE'S
NO FUTURE
FOR US AS A PAIR ...

BOTH
AND
THOUGH I MAY KNOW
I DON'T CARE …

JUST FOR THIS MOMENT
AS LONG AS YOU'RE MINE
COME BE HOW YOU WANT TO

AND SEE HOW BRIGHT WE SHINE
BORROW THE MOONLIGHT
UNTIL IT IS
THROUGH
AND KNOW I'LL BE HERE HOLDING YOU
AS LONG AS YOU'RE MINE...

Fiyero studies her face.
FIYERO
What is
it?

ELPHABA
(beat)
It's
just-- for the first time, I feel wicked.
