from the broadway concert..

enjoy!

Long ago, In someone else's lifetime

Someone with my name

Who looked a lot like me

Came to know

A man and made a promise

He only had to say

And that's where she would be

Lately although the feelings

Run just as deep, the promise she made

Has grown impossible to keep

And yet I wish it wasn't so

Will he miss me if I go?

In a way, It's someone else's story

I don't see myself

As taking part at all

Yesterday, A girl that I was fond of

Finally could see

The writing on the wall

Sadly, she realized she'd left him behind

And sadder than that

She knew he wouldn't even mind

And though there's nothing left to say

Would he listen if I stay?

It's all very well to say

You fool it's now or never

I could be choosing

No choices whatsoever.

I could be in someone else's story

In someone else's life

And he could be in mine

I don't see a reason to be lonely

I could take my chances

Further down the line

And if that girl I know

Should ask my advice

Oh I wouldn't hesitate she

Needn't ask me twice

Go now!

I'd tell him that for free

Trouble is, the girl is me

The story is, the girl is me.

今日,把朋友之前一直約,卻沒時間赴約的承諾實現接受朋友的關心,規勸,打氣,祝福帶著些許醉意,在夜空中,漫步回家今夜餐敘最後一場,在紅酒乾杯,與好友深談近日的人生體悟,彼此發現到,對於生命中的任何事情,只希望能做到『當來到時珍惜它/他, 離別時祝福它/他』在每件事情上,慢慢地練習幾年後,希望當我跟別人分享起某個傻姑娘的人生故事時,會是個笑中帶淚的溫馨喜劇我想,我會用自己的人生,寫出曠世佳作

I wish people would stop comparing all these wonderful singers! They each bring something unique to the song and each perform it beautifully

I love all her performances; the music, the voice, the soul/emotions are all there.She is truly a multi-talented singer/stage performer/actress etc. Don't forget she won a Laurence Olivier Award as Best Actress in London, England and won a Tony Best Actress Award for her performance in Miss Saigon. She is UP THERE.

The grave mistake you've done was saying she's Not There Yet without knowing the artist's background

bandilang .

but to other native English speaking countries they might also think that when an artist or a singer is a native English individual, they might be perfect to sing an English song of two but to their great dismay together with the first world country they might even think that a singer from a third world country would sing more beautifully and gloriously uplifting than to their respective artists.

devestatingly correct.hihihihi. its an envy thing or a state of severe shock of ignorance to other region's ability to sing quite similar and with the same beautiful articulation of words and their harmonies.hihihihi

Interesting discussion. I admit I did not and still do not know much about Lea. But even more interesting is the attitude of my "oponents". They seem to think that any artist that (by some people) can be labeled Broadway or Westend star automatically outshines anyone else. This kind of unawareness of ones own cultural bias is so very typical of the English speaking world. I still think Helen outshines Lea by far, but I´m very much aware that this is a result of MY cultural bias.

I wanted to say keep easy on him but then he's asking for it.. Comparing her to broadway stars even saying she's not there yet , without knowing she spent half of her life in theater .. A broadway star through and through!

for me leah did an amazing job here. relaying the best emotions for this song. and she dont need to exaggerate the emotions just to please the audience

sorry, but looks like you didnt understand the song itself. If u internalize he song. the singer (broadway actress/singer) is relaying someone else's story. in my opinion, Lea's facial expression is like shes wondering and confused (like shes just observant from the first part) from the first part of the song (which truly complements the song), and then slowly she knew it was her.

It's your opinion alrght but its an embarrassing one.. at least do some research.. Lea is a broadway & west end legend & is one of musical theatres premier vocalist...are you living in a cave? Ms.Helen is only known in your country & you love her nothing wrong w/that but if you're comparing her to a multi awarded artist at least back up your opinion w/some facts. Now this is MY opinion... may i now respectfully request that u go back to your cave...thank you!

Youtube her singing "I'd Give my Life for You" from MISS SAIGON. Looks for a stage version.. its from over 20 years ago.

Ok, thank you for that information. For me she was totally unknown, and my comment was based entirely on this clip. To me she sounded very nice but very much lacking in emotion and intepretation in comparison even with a very young Helen Sjöholm. But again, this is MY opinion, and I am off course influenced by my cultural evironment here in Sweden, just as you are of yours.
