Notes: This song is to the tune "Going Through The Motions" but is sung by Cordelia. I wanted to redo the whole musical but it is too time consuming.
Longing To Be With You
*Cordy is leaning on the counter (in the hotel) looking at Angel who can't hear her.*
CORDELIA
Every single night
The same devotion
We go out and fight the fight
Strange, I start to feel a new emotion
Something here is real
Something here is right.
I've been making jokes and treading toes
Just hoping it won't show
That I've been longing to be with you
Wishing for a start
How did I allow you in my heart?
*Cordy moves around the counter with a stack of books to put away.*
I am sometimes sad and kind of jealous
He will never notice me
Could it be I'm mad
He won't be happy with anyone but Buffy
WES
Don't be getting huffy
CORDELIA
Wes, you're so stuffy
*Fred, Gunn, and Wes sing to Angel while he is engrossed in a book.*
FRED, GUNN, & WES
She's hidden it fairly well when your around
But lately we have found
That she's just longing to be with you (Longing to be with you)
Facing you somehow
FRED
Your not even wondering how - wow!
CORDELIA
Will I feel this way forever?
Tiptoe round my hearts greatest pleasure?
ANGEL
Do you have a pen?
CORDELIA
Sure.
I want you to see I'm
Longing to be with you
Losing all my nerve
Even I can see
That this isn't really me
But I just want to be
Your love!I've Got A Headache
(I've Got A Theory)
CORDY
I've got a headache
A painful headache
The stupid vision
Ow, someone try to catch me.
GUNN
You've got a headache
A painful vision
And we're all waiting for the time when it could kill you
WES
She's got a headache
We should help her mend
WES, GUNN, AND FRED
She's getting weepy
When's this creepy vision gonna end?
FRED
We could try butter!
Some melted butter!
Which is ridiculous 'cause butter is just an old wives tale for burns and stuff and wouldn't help and rambling on and I'll be quiet now.
WES
You've got a headache!
The blasted vision!
(Silence as they look as Wesley. Water dripping.)
CORDELIA
I've got a - -
WES (belting)
Angel where are you when everybody needs you!
We can't help Cordy but you'll know just what to do!
So stop thinking about Buffy!
Why do you care when she doesn't want you anymore?
Angel!
Angel!
Where are you Angel!
(Pyrotechnics)
...sorry, that was rude.
GUNN
She's got a headache we should help her mend--
FRED AND WES
Because I'd hate for her to come to an untimely end.
CORDY
I've got a headache--
ANGEL
I hate this singing...
Hold my hand we're in this together
What would I do if you surrender?
Cordelia?
You wouldn't dare
I will heal ya
Oh how I care!
ANGEL, FRED, WES, AND GUNN
What will we do if your not with us?
What should we do? We'd put up a fuss
You have to try
Do what we must
I's do or die
ANGEL
That ain't no lie.
ANGEL
Hold my hand we're in this together
WES, FRED, AND GUNN
In this together
WES, GUNN, AND FRED
What would we do if you surrender?
ANGEL
What would I do...
CORDY
You'd do what you must.
ANGEL
...You've come back to us. (spoken)Grateful To You
(Under Your Spell)
*Fred has just come out of her room and is walking along the balcony looking down into the lobby where Wesley and Angel are working. She sings to Angel first.*
FRED
I lived in worlds gone crazy
Stuck in that Pylea place
My mind was kind of hazy
Figured that was my fate
Then you came to me
Somehow you set me free
I'm grateful to you
What else can I say
You showed up and saved the day
There's nothing I can do
To show you how I feel
Grateful that you've helped me heal
*Fred now sings to Wesley.*
It took me quite awhile
Angel was the only one there
It only took one smile
For me to see how you cared
And your kindness shown
Now I'm no longer alone
I'm grateful to you
How come you can't see
You're the only one for me
You are my dream come true
I'm holding out my hand
Will you come and be my man
Come to me, Wesley!
GUNN AND CORDY
Ahhhh, ahhh, ahhh. (etc...)
FRED
The pain in your heart
It will break you apart
Let me help you heal
Wesley, don't you see
You need me so desperately
I can help you feel
You've done nothing wrong
Join me in this lonely song
Come to me, Wesley!
Come to me, Wesley
Come to me, Wesley
Come to me...
End.
