Carrie: The Musical Ensemble
A Dreamer in Disguise (Reprise)
TOMMY (spoken)
Now it's time for that dance

CARRIE (spoken)
Tommy...

TOMMY (spoken)
No, come on. Take my hand
(CARRIE takes his hand, but stares at the floor)
No, no, no. Don't look down. Look in my eyes and forget about everything else
(Sung)
An eagle's just another bird
Until he can spread his wings
A river's just a sheet of ice
Till winter turns to spring

CARRIE (sung)
And though the clouds may block the sun
Don't mean that it's left the sky

TOMMY
Just when you think you've seen it all
There's more than meets the eye

CARRIE
Like, things I dream
TOMMY
And things I feel

CARRIE
There's more to me

BOTH
Than I reveal

TOMMY
And cause I shine in quiet ways
I'm someone you don't recognize

BOTH
I'm a diamond in the rough
A dreamer in disguise...

(TOMMY and CARRIE slow dance. A spotlight shines on SUE, who's snuck in and is unobserved by everyone else.)

SUE (spoken)
I couldn't stay home
I had to go to prom to see how it all worked out
I needed to see
Carrie looked so at ease - so happy

NORMA (spoken, glaring at CARRIE and TOMMY)
Well, will you get a load of them! Couldn't you just barf?
HELEN (spoken)
I can't believe Chris is missing this

NORMA (spoken)
Trust me, doll-
(winks at HELEN)
-she isn't missing a thing
