Light My Candle

Broadways

Roger


What'd you forget?


Mimi


Got a light?


Roger


I know you? -- you're --


You're shivering


Mimi


It's nothing


They turned off my heat


And i'm just a little


Weak on my feet


Would you light my candle?


What are you staring at?


Roger


Nothing


Your hair in the moonlight


You look familiar


Can you make it?


Mimi


Just haven't eaten much today


At least the room stopped spinning


Anyway, what?


Roger


Nothing

Roger


I know i've seen you out and about


When i used to go out


Your candle's out


Mimi

It was pure -

Roger

But i'm sure i've seen you somewhere


Else--
