Titanic - A New Musical

I have had one song stuck in my head for days. It is a catchy little number from the first Broadway show I ever saw, Titanic.

Now that I think about it, one of the first questions Ben asked when I met him was 'What cd are you listening to in your car?' I was too busy thinking 'only someone who was really interested in talking with me would ask such a lame question' to come up with something cool so I told him I was listening to Titanic, A New Musical. And that didn't scare him away! Score!

Here is the song that is echoing in my brain right now:

I Have Danced

ALICE BEANE
I have danced with the first class, Edgar
It was oh, such a dream come true!

EDGAR BEANE
That class isn't for our kind, Alice...

ALICE BEANE
That won't do!

There are hotels on islands, Edgar!
Great resorts on a sandy beach...

EDGAR BEANE
That's a world that's beyond our income
And our reach...

ALICE BEANE
Please don't tell me never
I'll want this forever...ever...

There's a new world around us, Edgar

EDGAR BEANE
Won't you ever give up that view?

ALICE BEANE
I want more than we've got now, Edgar
Why don't you?
