A CHORUS LINE
complete lyrics - Edward Kleban
(Page Two)
ONE
MIKE, AL, DON AND MAGGIE
Singular sensation
Ev'ry little step she takes.
One thrilling combination
Ev'ry move that she makes.
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do.
You know you'll never be lonely with you know who.
One moment in her presence
And you can forget the rest.
For the girl is second best to none, son.
Ooh! Sigh!
Give her your attention.
Do I
Really have to mention
She's the one?

WHAT I DID FOR LOVE
DIANA
Kiss today goodbye,
The sweetness and the sorrow.
Wish me luck, the same to you,
But I can't regret
What I did for love, what I did for love.
Look, my eyes are dry.
The gift was ours to borrow.
It's as if we always knew,
And I won't regret what I did for love,
What I did for love.
Gone,
Love is never gone.
As we travel on,
Love's what we'll remember.
Kiss today goodbye,
And point me t'ward tomorrow.
We did what we had to do.
Won't forget, can't regret GROUP
What I did for love. Love.
