FOR ONE SHE LOVES
00:00 / 06:56

JERRY CRUNCHER: Now upon hearing this story, the jury condemned Mr. Charles Darnay Saint Evremonde for the crimes of his ancestors and sentenced him to die within twenty-four hours.

     The next day, Mr. Lorry and I hid in the wine shop from the madness in the streets. We overheard some other revolutionaries talking’ about Madame Defarge’s plan to accuse the Manette's of spying, and to accuse Lucy’s little baby as well. Madame Defarge was out of control she was. The doors open and in walks Mr. Carton who had just returned to Paris to try and help free Charles. He took travel papers from his coat that would allow Lucy, the doctor, and the child to leave the city and gave them to Mr. Lorry and then he gave him his own papers, but he refused to explain why. All he told Mr. Lorry is that time is of the essence! The family must leave tomorrow! Later that night, I saw Mr. Carton enter a chemist's shop and there he bought a flask of ether. When he came back outside he saw Miss Lucy standing beneath the prison window hoping to catch a glimpse of her doomed husband. Now I watched from a distance but I heard Mr. Carton utter a final goodbye and blessing to Miss Lucy. Poor Mr. Carton.

 

(SYDNEY CARTON)

TWO THINGS IN EVERYONE'S LIFE
ALWAYS REMAIN THE SAME
ONE OF THEM IS THE NEED FOR LOVE
THE OTHER IS THE NEED FOR CHANGE

 

BOTH OF THEM HAVE PASSED ME BY
JUST WHY I CAN'T EXPLAIN
BUT NOW THE CHANCE HAS COME MY WAY
AND I WON'T LET IT PASS AGAIN

 

I'LL GIVE MY LIFE FOR THE ONE SHE LOVES
IT'S THE ONLY THING TO DO
MY LIFE FOR THE ONE SHE LOVES
I'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE

THE ASHES OF MY MEMORY
KEEP FALLING IN MY WINE
FUNNY, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FORGET
THAT BITTER TASTE OF TIME

SOMETIMES I CAN'T SLOW THINGS DOWN
TO SEE MY OWN MINDS HASTE
AND AFTER THOUGHT HAS COME AND GONE
IT SEEMS LIKE SUCH A WASTE.


I'LL GIVE MY LIFE FOR THE ONE SHE LOVES
IT'S THE ONLY THING TO DO
MY LIFE FOR THE ONE SHE LOVES
I'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE


(INSTRUMENTAL)


TIME AND TIME AGAIN
I THOUGHT LOVES JUST A GAME
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD LOSE
BUT NOW IT'S TIME FOR ME

IT'S TIME FOR ME

TO FIND THE BETTER MAN

I'LL GIVE MY LIFE FOR THE ONE SHE LOVES
IT'S THE ONLY THING TO DO
MY LIFE FOR THE ONE SHE LOVES
I'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE

I'LL GIVE MY LIFE FOR THE ONE SHE LOVES
IT'S THE ONLY THING TO DO
MY LIFE FOR THE ONE SHE LOVES
AND HE'LL BE BACK WITH YOU
HE'LL BE BACK WITH YOU

HE'LL BE BACK WITH YOU

HE'LL BE BACK WITH YOU

I'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE

NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
