Original Broadway Cast of Violet
Bring Me to Light
[FLICK]
If I ask you to be with me by and by
Will you meet me tonight, love?
If it's too dark to see with the naked eye
Will you bring me to light?
[FLICK & VIOLET]
If I happen to stagger and fall behind
Will you help me to fight, love?
Will you help me to walk, will you ease my mind?
[FLICK, VIOLET & EARL]
Will you bring me to light?
[FLICK, VIOLET, EARL & OLD LADY]
Will you bring me to light?
[FLICK, VIOLET, EARL, YOUNG VI & BUS DRIVER 4]
I know you will try
[FLICK, VIOLET, EARL, YOUNG VI, BUS DRIVER 4 & FATHER]
To help me find my way, love
[FLICK, VIOLET, EARL, YOUNG VI, BUS DRIVER 4, FATHER & MABEL]
I won't wonder why
[FLICK, VIOLET, EARL, YOUNG VI, BUS DRIVER 4, FATHER, MABEL & MONTY]
When nights are long
[FLICK, VIOLET, EARL, YOUNG VI, BUS DRIVER 4, FATHER, MABEL, MONTY & LULA]
If you'll hold me 'til it's light
[YOUNG VI & BUS DRIVER 4]
Like a comet that catches you by surprise
[EARL & MABEL]
Like a star in the night, love
[FATHER, OLD LADY & LULA]
Like a baby the first time she opens her eyes
[ALL]
Will you bring me to light?
Will you bring me to light?
Will you bring me to light?
To light, to light, to light, to light
Left my troubles
Back there when I climbed on board
Jordan River's where you'll find me
It's wide, but not too wide to ford
And as I go, and as I go along
I want you with me
If I tell you my heart has been opened wide
If I tell you I'm frightened
If I show you the darkness
[VIOLET, FLICK & MONTY]
I hold inside
[YOUNG VI & FATHER]
Will you bring me to light?
[YOUNG VI, FATHER, MABEL, OLD LADY & BUS DRIVER 4]
Will you bring me to light?
[ALL]
Will you bring me to light, light?
