Finale / I Can't Recall Song Lyrics

---

Seamstress
You are not afraid.
All the others just pretend.
It's as if you would embrace
The very end.
You're an angel, sir.
You were sent to me by god.

Carton
And perhaps it's you that god has sent to me.

Seamstress
When i hold your hand; all my fears are in the past.
But when i let go do you promise they'll be fast?

Carton
Like a lightning flash
All your suffering will cease

Seamstress
Will i find you again?

Carton
There can be no farewells.
We will meet where the weary find peace
**** i can't recall a sky so clear

All
The heavens seem an inch away and not unfriendly after all
If life was never quite this sweet i can't recall




Carton
I can't recall a sky so clear
All the heavens seem an inch away and not unfriendly after

All
If life was never quite this sweet i can't recall

Carton
It is a far far better thing i do than i have ever done

It is a far better rest i go to than i have ever known

All
I can't recall



SYDNEY CARTON
[speaking]
What was that?
And where did all those stars come from?
Carton, you are drunk, aren't you?

[sings]
I can't recall a night so clear
The heavens seem an inch away
Not cold and empty like before
A night as sweet as this tonight
I can't recall

I can't recall the taste of wine
Have I been drinking down my days
A crippled wretch content to call
If I have been that man right now
I can't recall

I can't recall my sense of shame
Was failure borne inside my heart
Or dead the many years of waste?
Leave it there
Did I just feel it disappear because you care?

The choice is mine
Tomorrow's at my feet
All yesterdays a haze
I pray that I will not repeat

I can't recall a night so clear
The heavens seem an inch away
And not unfriendly after all
After all
If life was ever quite this sweet
I can't recall
