Miss Saigon Soundtrack Finale lyrics

Miss Saigon Soundtrack
Miscellaneous
Finale
(In KIM'S room she has dressed TAM in his best clothes.)

KIM
now Tam, my brave boy
our long wait has ended
smile Tam
for you have a father at last

he has come
to take you home
all I dreamed for you
he'll do
you're still mine
but I can't go along
don't be sad
though I'm far away
I'll be watching you

this is the hour
I swore I'd see
I alone can tell now
what the end will be
they think they'll decide your life
no, it will be me

look at me one last time
don't forget what you see
one more kiss

and then say goodbye

(THE ENGINEER comes in and takes TAM to CHRIS. KIM prays before the shrine of her parents, blows out the candles and disappears behind the bed curtain. A gunshot. KIM's body falls to the floor.)

CHRIS
Kim! Kim!

(CHRIS picks up KIM and cradles her in his arms.)

CHRIS
what have you done, Kim? Why?

KIM
the gods have guided you to your son

CHRIS
please don't die

KIM
hold me one more time

(CHRIS holds her)

KIM
how in one night have we come... so far

(KIM'S embrace becomes lifeless. CHRIS sobs, holding her.)
