jon cypher & katharine hepburn - medley: gabrielle / coco lyrics

[part i: gabrielle]

[coco, spoken]
the one thing i have never regretted is independence
i began to yearn for it when i was a child
when i was eight years old
i lived with two cold gray aunts in a cold gray house
my mother died when i was two
my father, my father was a champagne salesman
and he was exactly like his product
just as irresistible, and if you’re poor, just as hard to find
i adored him
and i lived for his occasional visit
six weeks before my first communion
he came for the afternoon
i pleadеd with him to take me away with him

[papa, spoken]
but gabriellе, where would i take you?
i live nowhere, i travel
but i will not be away for a year this time
i’m coming back for your communion in seven weeks

[coco, spoken]
six
[papa, spoken]
even better
and you’re not going to wear that hideous bedspread
that your aunt selected for you
i’m going to buy you a communion dress fit for a princess

[coco, spoken]
could it be red?

[papa, spoken]
a red communion dress?
why not?
bright red
now, what do you say to that?

[coco, spoken]
take me with you, papa

[papa, spoken]
next time, gabrielle
after your communion
we will go away together
and you will always be happy

[papa]
gabrielle
there’s a new and happy you
not far away
gabrielle
what became of what’s+her+name
the world will say
gabrielle
will be never seen again
amen
gabrielle
will be known as merry
mimi?

[coco, spoken]
no

[papa]
momo?

[coco, spoken]
no

[papa]
kiki?

[coco, spoken]
uh uh

[papa]
coco?

[coco, spoken]
coco!
[papa]
fare thee well
little drab unhappy
gabrielle, farewell
fare thee well
from that wild, delicious child
coco, farewell
gabrielle
dream away a little
play a little
pray a little
make the hours fly
’til we tell
gabrielle
goodbye

[coco, spoken]
take me with you, papa

[papa, spoken]
six weeks is not a long time, coco

[coco, spoken]
five, five

[papa, spoken]
just keep thinking about that bright red communion dress

[papa]
gabrielle
dream away a little
play a little
pray a little
make the hours fly

[coco, spoken]
papa!

[papa]
’til we tell
gabrielle
goodbye

[part ii: coco]

[coco, spoken]
i never saw him again
for weeks after my communion
i sat by the road watching for him
and then, one day
i began to hear that small, clear voice
of that other person we carry inside
and it was saying

[coco]
coco, coco
hoping too high
fell down from the sky
and started to cry

it’s the end of coco
coco
where is a friend
to trust and depend upon?

scan the hills
rake the sky
but your searching
won’t end ’til you try
to
learn to turn to
someone who’s called
coco, coco, coco

[coco, spoken]
slowly my self+pity turned to bitterness
and my bitterness to resolve
that one day i would never lean on anyone
count on anyone
or place my fate in anyone’s hands but mine
ever again

[coco]
scan the hills
rake the sky
but your searching
won’t end ’til you try
to

[coco & ensemble]
learn to turn to
someone who’s called
coco, coco, coco
