Here are the lyrics to some of the songs from the movie Anastasia. Thanks Matthew (UAFC #34) & Melissa (UAFC #029)! Thanks to Amy (visit her site) for the Midi Arrangements!
At the Beginning We were strangers, starting out on a journey Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing At the beginning with you No one told me I was going to find you Unexpected, what you did to my heart When I lost hope, you were there to remind me This is the start Chorus And life is a road that I wanna keep going Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey I'll be there when the world stops turning I'll be there when the storm is through In the end I wanna be standing At the beginning with you We were strangers, on a crazy adventure Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true Now here we stand, unafraid of the future At the beginning with you Back to Chorus Knew there was somebody, somewhere A new love in the dark Now I know my dream will live on I've been waiting so long Nothing's gonna tear us apart Back to Chorus In the end I want to be standing At the beginning with you... "A RUMOUR IN ST. PETERSBURG"Male Factory Worker: St. Petersburg is gloomy. Female Factory Worker: St. Petersburg is bleak. Another Male FW: My underwear got frozen standing here all week.

Have you heard What they're saying on the street? Newspaper vendor: Although the Czar did not survive, One daughter may be still alive. All: The Princess Anastasia! Vendor: But please do not repeat!

Don't turn back Now that we're here. People always say Life is full of choices. No one ever mentions Fear. Or how the world can seem so vast On a journey To the past. Somewhere down this road I know someone's waiting. Years of dreams Just can't be wrong. Arms will open wide. I'll be safe and wanted. Finally home where I belong. Well, starting now, I'm learning fast! On this journey To the past. Home, Love, Family. There was once a time I must have had them too. Home, Love, Family. I will never be complete until I find you. One step at a time. One hope, then another. Who knows where this road may go? Back to who I was, On to find my future. Things my heart Still needs to know. Yes! Let this be a sign! Let this road be mine! Let it lead me to my past. And bring me home At last! "ONCE UPON A DECEMBER"Anya: Dancing bears, Painted wings, Things I almost remember, And a song Someone sings Once upon a December. Someone holds me safe and warm Horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully Across my memory. (choral section) Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully Across my memory. Far away, Long ago, Glowing dim as an ember. Things my heart Used to know. Things it yearns to remember. And a song Someone sings Once upon a December. "IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT"Rasputin: In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning. And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be. It scared me out of my wits. A corpse falling to bits! Then I opened my eyes and the nightmare was me! I was once the most mystical man in all Russia. When the royals betrayed me, they made a mistake! My curse made each of them pay. But one little girl got away. Little Anya beware, Rasputin's awake! Bugs: In the dark of the night, evil will find her! In the dark of the night, just before dawn. Rasputin: Revenge will be sweet. All: When the curse is complete. Bugs: In the dark of the night, Rasputin: She'll be *gone!* I can feel that my powers are slowly returning. Tie my sash and a dash of cologne for that smell. As the pieces fall into place, I'll see her crawl into place. Das vidanya, Anya, Your Grace Farewell! Bugs: In the dark of the night, terror will strike her! Rasputin: (spoken) Terror's the *least* I can do! Bugs: In the dark of the night, evil will brew. All: Soon she will feel That her nightmares are real! Bugs: In the dark of the night, Rasputin: She'll be through! Bugs: In the dark of the night evil will find her! (Find her) In the dark of the night terror comes true! (Doom her) Rasputin: My dear, here's a sign. It's the end of the line! Bugs: In the dark of the night. In the dark of the night. Rasputin: Come, my minions Rise for your master Let your evil shine. Bugs: In the dark of the night, In the dark of the night. Rasputin: Find her now, yes, Fly ever faster. Bugs: In the dark of the night, In the dark of the night, In the dark of the night, Rasputin: SHE'LL BE MINE! "LEARN TO DO IT"Vlad: You were born in a palace by the sea. Anya: A palace by the sea? Could it be? Vlad: Yes, that's right. You rode horseback when you were only three. Anya: Horseback riding? Me? Vlad: And the horse... Dmitri: He was white. Vlad: You made faces and terrorized the cook. Dmitri: Threw him in the brook. Anya: Was I wild? Dmitri: Wrote the book. Vlad: But you'd behave when your father gave that look. Dmitri: Imagine how it was. Vlad: Your long-forgotten past. Both: We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is going fast. Anya: (spoken) Alright, I'm ready. Vlad: Now, shoulders back and stand up tall. Dmitri: And do not walk, but try to float. Anya: I feel a little foolish Am I floating? Vlad: Like a little boat! Dmitri: You give a bow. Anya: What happens now? Vlad: Your hand recieves a kiss. Vlad, Dmitri: Most of all, remember this. Vlad: If I can learn to do it, You can learn to do it. Dmitri: Something in you knows it. Both: There's nothing to it. Vlad: Follow in my footsteps Shoe by shoe. Both: You can learn to do it too! Vlad: Now, elbows in and sit up straight. Dmitri: And never slurp your stroganoff. Anya: (airily) I never cared for stroganoff. Vlad: She said that like a Romanov! Dmitri: The samovar! Vlad: The caviar! Anya: Dessert and then good night? Dmitri, Vlad: Not until you get this right! Vlad: If I can learn to do it, Dmitri: (echo) If he can learn to do it Vlad: You can learn to do it. Dmitri: (echo) You can learn to do it. Vlad: Pull yourself together. Both: And you'll pull through it. Vlad: Tell yourself it's easy. Both: And it's true, You can learn to do it too! Vlad: (spoken) Next, we memorize the names of the royalty. Now, here we have Kropotkin. Dmitri: Shot Potemkin. Vlad: In the Botkin. And dear old Uncle Vanya Loved his vodka. Dmitri: Got it, Anya? Vlad: The Baron Porshkin. Anya: He was...? Dmitri: Short. Vlad: Count Anatoly! Anya: Had a--? Dmitri: Wart. Vlad: Count Sergei Dmitri: Wore a feathered hat. Vlad: I hear he's gotten very fat. Anya: And I recall his yellow cat! (cutoff) Vlad: I don't believe we told her that. Anya: If you can learn to do it, I can learn to do it. Vlad: Don't know how you knew it. Anya: I simply knew it! Suddenly I feel like Someone new. Vlad, Dmitri: Anya, you're a dream come true! If I can learn to do it, Anya: (echo) If you can learn to do it, Vlad, Dmitri: You can learn to do it. Anya: (echo) I can learn to do it. Vlad: Pull yourself together, All: And you'll pull through it. Vlad: Tell yourself it's easy. All: And it's true. You can learn to do it... Anya: Nothing to it! All: You can learn to do It Too! "LEARN TO DO IT"-Reprise Vlad: It's one, two, three And suddenly I see it at a glance. She's radiant And confident And born to take this chance.
