Lyrics of 'Finale: There's Always a Tomorrow' by Dracula (The Musical)

Mina (singing):
I hear you before you speak;
I’m with you wherever you are.

Dracula (singing):
When you sleep i’m in your dreams,
I can read your thoughts from afar.

Mina:
I hear you before you speak;
I’m with you wherever you are.

Dracula (overlapping with above):
The first time i saw your face
I knew i would make you mine. i felt a quickening of the pulse;
I felt a shiver down my spine.
Mina you’re the chosen one, o
Ut of all the loves
I’ve known in all my centuries alone.

Mina:
Ever since i saw your face,
I’ve been trying to deny
That i was hopelessly in love,
That i could ever say goodbye.
Now i know that can’t be done,
Now i’ll turn away from light
And embrace your endless night.

Dracula (overlapping with above):
When you sleep i’m in your dreams,
I can read your thoughts from afar.

Dracula:
But every time i see your face,
I’m tormented by this doubt;
Can i deprive you of your death,
Can i condemn you to live out this dark circle of despair.
Or should i not set you free
And let you do the same for me.
(speaking)
I’m beginning to understand why from the start
You had an effect on me no one else has ever had.

Mina:
Because we are soul mates.

Dracula:
Not only that.
It is because you are here on earth to give me
The one sensation i have never experienced.

Mina:
What is that?
No! (singing)
I was born to love you,
I was born to need you,
These are simple truths
That i tried to betray.

Dracula (singing):
If you truly love me,
Prove to me you love me,
Free me and go back to the beauties of day.

(we hear vampire brides screaming off-stage).

Dracula: you want me to risk that happening to you?

Mina: i am prepared to take my chances.

Dracula: the hunted animal’s only
Luxury is to choose the hour of his death.

(we hear a second off-stage scream.)

Mina: let’s escape together.

Dracula:
Dawn is breaking.
(singing)
I can’t poison your life,
I can’t drive you insane, i
Can’t drag you into my world of bloodlust and pain.

(we hear third off-stage scream).

Dracula (singing):
My life is no life at all,
It’s bleak and unforgiving.
Feeding on a stranger’s blood, imprisoned by the night.
What’s the use prolonging life
If life is not worth living?
If you love me, set me free,
And let me touch the light.

Mina:
Please don’t make me end this before it’s begun.

Dracula:
Give me a true nightfall.
Give me back to darkness.
Give me back my soul and step into the sun.

Mina and dracula:
I was born to love you.

Dracula:
Lived and died to love you.

Mina and dracula:
I was born to love you and
Need you and let you go free.
