All my life I've always wanted To have one day just for me, Nothing to do And for once no where I need to be.
With no lessons, Lords, or luncheons Or to-do list in the way, No one to say when to eat or read or leave or stay. That would be the day.
[Erica:] All my life I've always wanted To have one day for myself Not waking up with a pile of work On every shelf.
With no hems in need of pressing And no sleeves in disarray, No wedding gown with a thousand stitches to crochet. And no debt to pay.
[Erica:] What would it be like to be?
[Anneliese:] What would it be like to be?
[Anneliese:] Free.
[Erica:] Free.
[Anneliese:] Free to try crazy things.
[Erica:] Free from endless IOUs.
[Anneliese:] Free to fly.
[Erica:] Free to sing.
[Anneliese:] And marry whom I choose.
You would think that I'm so lucky That I have so many things I'm realizing that every present Comes with strings.
[Erica:] Though I know I have so little My determination's strong, People will gather around the world To hear my song.
[Anneliese:] Now I fear I'll never be
[Erica:] Soon I will forever be
[Both:] Free.
I close my eyes and feel myself Fly a thousand miles away, I could take flight But would it be right, My conscious tells me stay.
[Anneliese:] I'll remain forever royal.
[Erica:] I'll repay my parent's debt.
[Both:] Duty means doing the things Your heart may well regret.
[Anneliese:] But I'll never stop believing.
[Erica:] She can never stop my schemes.
[Both:] There's more to living than Gloves and gowns and hems and seams. In my dreams I'll be free. Всю свою жизнь я всегда хотел Иметь один день только для меня, Нечего делать И на этот раз нет, где мне нужно быть.
При отсутствии уроков, лорды или завтраках Или список дел в пути, Никто не сказать, когда есть или читать или уйти или остаться. Это было бы на следующий день.
[Erica:] Всю свою жизнь я всегда хотел Иметь один день для себя Не просыпаясь с кучей работы На каждой полке.
При отсутствии необходимости в подолы прессования И без рукавов в беспорядке, Ни одна свадьба платье с тысячами стежков, чтобы вязание крючком. И ни один долг не платить.
