[JULIA, spoken]
I just want to know what happened.

[MRS. ADAMS, spoken]
And what do you think that will get you?

[JULIA, spoken]
Sleeping through the night. Closing a chapter.

[JULIA]
You know what I want even more
Is to be just who I was before
Self-assured, future all secured
That was Julia
Quick to trust, saw the world as just
That was Julia
Full of promise and full of poise
Hardly any of which this shop girl now employs
But I muddled through

Easy smile, avid cinephile
That was Julia
That was Julia
Before being branded a gold star wife
A distinction that's redefining my whole life
Well it feels like it does
I feel guilty because
There are days when I just want to be who I was
I'm not saying I'd trade the life that I had with him for a minute
That was once in a lifetime love
And know I was lucky to win it
And I'm told to be proud
All the newsreels and magazines practically shout it
But I'm never allowed to admit
There is nothing remotely heroic about it
And you know I would never be able to say that
Away from this dining room table

Not a doubt how her life plays out
That was Julia
All the details of who I am
Made irrelevant with one single telegram
That's what widowhood does
I resent it because
There are days when I just want to be momentarily free
And happily who I was
