"Your hot water service runs on fuel." "It's just like the one in my parents' home." "You have to keep putting the fuel in." "Didn't you know that?" " I'd like to pay you." " For what?" "For the work you've done and to go away." "I don't want to go away." "I want to help you." " How much?" " Very much." " Dirk, you better get back inside." " Don't touch me." "Barry, the attorney, has men out there waiting to detain you." "He wasn't specific about the detaining but I don't think it involves giving you a cup of tea." "Did you know that they want to turn your home into a tribute museum?" "We have one in Chicago for Al Capone." "It's a disgrace to his memory." "If such a thing is possible." "Now, my husband ex-husband husband, is a lawyer, and he says you need proof of your relationship with Victor." "Love letters, a joint bank account." "Look, I'm asking you nicely even though you are a psychotic, please leave." "Let me grieve in peace without you in my kitchen or my woodpile." "Get back inside right now or I'm gonna give you a great big hug." "Look if Victor was here, do you know what he'd do?" "He'd have you arrested." "Victor Fox hated women." "How do you know what he felt?" "Haven't you worked it out yet?" " Leave before he hurts your feelings." " He can be vicious." "Victor was gay!" "Sissy!" "A "friend of Dorothy"!" "A "nelly"!" "But his whole life he had to pretend he was this heterosexual lover boy just so he could sell his music to sad, lonely, middle-aged housewives like you and he hated it." "He hated all of you." "He hated his life of lies." "The only thing he ever loved was me." "You make great pancakes." "You shouldn't have done that." "She wasn't like the others, Dirk." "She was like a real mother." "She could cook." "How will you get through the funeral without us?" "I'm not going to the funeral." "But you have to go to the funeral." "How can we prove you had a relationship if you don't go to the funeral?" "You have to make a scene throw yourself onto the coffin." "Dirk...?" "Dirk!" "You'll end up with nothing." "No house, no money nothing." "It'll be like you never existed." "You're a loser, Dirk." "Nothing!" "We had the case won." "Sewn up, we had it won." "Wanker." "Hello boys." "Do you fancy a cup of tea?" "Yeah, that'd be great." "Thanks very much." "I'd offer you wine but I've already drunk it." " Cough mixture?" " No." "Cherry flavor." "No, thank you." " What's your name?" " Grace Beasley." " From Chicago?" " Yes." "Sorry." "Brace yourself." "Victor's mother's room." "Victor and his sisters were never allowed in here." "This is where mummy Fox came to be alone... with her dolls." "Mummy's wardrobe." "Now, in here... is mummy's pink chiffon robe... with fake diamond tiara." "Victor used to sneak in here when mummy was out, dress up in her clothes and play with her dolls." "He told her he was gay when he was 16." "She blamed herself, and then committed him to a mental institution." "After he was "cured" he came back home waited until his parents were out slipped in here and smashed every doll he could get his little gay hands on." "Victor's boyhood bedroom." "After the doll incident, mummy threw him out." "She got all his toys out of the attic and then redecorated his room." "Set it back it time to when he was eight years old." "She just reinvented his memory." "The family, more or less, pretended he was dead." "Never mentioned him again." "Victor never went to her funeral, but she left him the house all the same." "And he kept it just as it was in memory of mummy." "He used to sit in that chair smoking his pipe... wearing her pink chiffon robe and fake diamond tiara." " No!" " Oh yes." "Somehow I don't think that'll be making it into the tribute museum, do you?" "People say I was a loser... but really, it was Victor." "He was gonna come out on an American talk show." "Imagine, 55 years old and he suddenly gets the courage to tell the world who he really is... and... he's shot through the heart with a crossbow." "There's no justice." "How did you meet?" "His voice." "I wanted him to sing my songs." "I'm a I was a songwriter." "And, well I stalked him." "I tracked him down to his recording studio." "Forced him to listen to them." "He told me I had no talent whatsoever, but he asked me out." " That's what Max said to me." " What?" "On our second date," "I told him that I wanted to be a singer." "Really?" "And he said he didn't think that was very realistic... because I was "too ordinary" to succeed." "It's the flattery that reels you, isn't it?" "I was 25." "He was 45." "He was funny." "Generous, drunken, manic-depressive, self-centered, unfaithful," "terribly unfaithful." "Did I say funny?" "Yes." "Funny, unfaithful bastard." "You know... a week wouldn't go by without him cheating on me." "But he'd say, "Dirk," "I have sex with other men... but I sleep with you."" ""Unconditional Love."" "What?" "Your poem." "It's cruel." "I was drunk when I wrote that." "I should have written, "Unconditional Masochism."" "That's what it was." "I don't believe in unconditional love." "What is it?" ""Cut off my ears, steal my money and I'll love you anyway"?" " Yes." "And more." " More?" ""You don't have to love me back."" "God, what I wouldn't give to get out of here and have a drink." "Been cooped up in here for days." "Ow!" "Shine that thing down." "They'll see it." "Ow!" "I can't find my hole." "What hole?" "The hole I made in your hedge." "That's how I broke in." "Do they really have singalongs in English pubs?" "No, that's something you read about in guidebooks." "ln real life, they're bashing up queers." " Maybe we shouldn't go." " Why?" " I forgot how much they hate me." " That's because you're rude." ""Rude"?" "Excuse me." "Do you know what it's like to be gay in a small village?" "Yes, I do." "My daughter-in-law is a dwarf." "Ow!" "What?" "She's a dwarf." "She's different." "She's more different than you." "People stare at her wherever she goes." "All right." "I lose, the dwarf wins." "Better luck next time." "You've got to be kidding." "I'm not getting on that." "Come on, Dirk." "It's too far to walk." "My little brother and I used to ride double all the time when we were kids." " He never fell off the handlebars." " Handlebars?" "Live a little." "We'll sit by the fire." "We'll toast Victor." "Nobody will even notice us come in." "This doesn't mean I trust you." "It'll be just like that movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"" "when they go bicycling together." "I'll be Paul Newman and you'll be "the lovely Katharine Ross."" "Whatever happened to "the lovely Katharine Ross"?" "She fell off the bike and broke her bloody neck." " Raindrops keep falling on my head..." " Keep it steady!" "And that doesn't mean my eyes are too big for my bed" "Hold on, it's a hill." " No!" "Put on the brakes!" " Climb every mountain" "Ford every stream..." " Isn't it wonderful?" " Slow down!" " Oh dear." " What do you mean, "Oh dear"?" " The brakes aren't working." " No!" "Now she's laughing!" "We're going to die and the mad bitch is laughing!" "One who loves nobody else but you..." "Listen, they are singing." " To Victor." " To Victor." "Shh." "You're not normally like this, are you?" "I mean..." "I'm getting to know someone even you don't recognize." "Right?" "If somebody told me Friday where I'd be on Sunday," "I'd never have believed them." "But where will you be tomorrow?" "And who will you be?" "I don't know." "The problem is you do." "You'll be in Chicago waiting for your husband to come back." "You'll be Grace Beasley again "frump without a life."" "Grace, I think this little adventure of yours means something." "Or it's just another story you'll tell in the old people's home." "Does it mean something, Grace?" "Hm?" "Does it?" " I don't know what it means." " I do." "I knew what it meant the moment you broke into my home and forced meals upon me." "You're intending to matter, Grace." "You're returning to life, only this isn't enough." "One trip to England never brought anyone back to life." "This is only the beginning." "I want us to go to Chicago, hunt down the Crossbow Killer and bring him to justice." "There's more." "The ugly sisters." "I want justice there, too." "I want them to suffer." "Vengeance." " Anyway, it's all your fault." " My fault?" "You inspired me, Grace." "With your bravery." "You refused to let everyone's rejection of you define what you could probably become if you had a bit more courage." " Thank you." " You showed me the way." "I can't hide in that house anymore." "I have to be Dirk Simpson again and I have to be proud of him." " Vengeance won't bring Victor back." " But it will bring us back." " How?" " We'll matter again." " But there are other ways we can matter." " Grace..." "If I was the valet and you were the wife, neither of us has existed for some time." "I'm sorry." "Are you the valet?" "No." "Yes." "I mean, no." "I was his boyfriend... for over 1 0 years." " Dirk" " No" "I washed his underwear and ironed his shirts occasionally." "But in between all that I was his boyfriend." "Go on... what do you want to say?" "It's him." "To the memory of Victor Fox." "Victor Fox." "To Victor." "Who am I if I'm not Max's wife?" "What am I supposed to be?" "Did I disappoint you, Grace?" "Oh, no, Victor." "Well, mummy's room was a bit of a shock." "Do you know, if we had met..." "I think I'd have liked you very much." "Victor..." "you were gay." "Ah, yes." "There was that." "Still... you're a damn fine-looking woman, Grace." "Oh, Victor." "I always imagined you'd say something like that." "Not even a smile, Dirk?" "I can't." "I'm too angry with you." "What were you doing down there under the city anyhow?" "You know why I was there." "I was looking for someone to help me through the night." "You found yourself a maniac in your fucking glittering suit." "He didn't choose me for my suit." "I'm scared without you, Victor, even though you were a shit." "Dirk..." "I had sex with other men... but I slept with you." "I need to see Victor Fox." "It's an emergency." "He's dead." "He doesn't have emergencies." "funeral's in 1 2 hours." "I'm Victor Fox's loyal valet." "Show him the clipping." "See what it says?" ""Victor Fox's loyal valet."" "That's me." "I'm here to see that he's dressed appropriately." "He is dressed appropriately." "His sisters picked out a nice beige suit." "Beige?" "He was an entertainer, not an accountant." " He was funny." " Outrageous." "Gay and very particular about his burial garments." "He hated beige." "Who's she?" "Oh, this is my lawyer, Perry Mason." "Pleased to meet you." "I hope I don't have to see you in court." "Welcome to Chicago O'Hare International airport." "Please remember smoking is not allowed inside the terminal." "Members of Her Majesty's Royal Fusiliers lead the casket towards the altar, followed by the family who demonstrate remarkable composure on this saddest of days." "Thank you so much for coming." "Victor loved you since he was a little boy." "Me, too." "I'm so very sorry." "My deepest condolences." "The casket's at the altar now." "And in accordance with the wishes of the family, it will be opened, giving the world a final glimpse of Victor Fox" ""the Lark from Lark. "" "The Fox sisters seem overcome with grief," "Nola Fox rising to her feet now, moving to her brother's casket." "No!" "This is outrageous." "Getting to know you" "Getting to feel free and easy" "You pervert!" "When I am with you" "Getting to know what to say" " Smile for "The Enquirer."" " Oh, bugger off." "Haven't you noticed?" "Suddenly I'm bright and breezy ...All the beautiful and new" "Things I'm learning about you" "Day by day." "Well, this is roomy." "Where was Victor killed?" "Can you see from here?" "No." "It's under the city." "We should sleep tonight and start tomorrow." "What's that sound?" "The wind." "I used to have a noisemaker to block out the sound" ""Bubbling Brook"..." ""Tropical Surf"..." ""Frogs."" "I love you, Grace." "I love you too, Dirk." "Grace?" "The strangest dream" "I was sleeping with my mother while being watched by a dwarf." "Maudey." "It's not how it looks." "Maudey!" "Maudey, wait." "Grace has got a boyfriend!" "He's not He's not my boyfriend." "Is he a stud?" "A hustler?" "Can I try him?" "Ooh." "Look at him." "He's gorgeous." "All I was expecting you to bring back from England was a picture of Big Ben." "Maudey, Dirk is gay." " What?" " He's gay." "This gets better and better." "Welcome to Chicago, Dirk." "You naughty confused boy." "Maudey, we need your advice." "Follow your heart." "Don't let other people's definition of normal cramp your love life." "Love a young, gay, tall British man if that's what you want." "No, we need a gun." "A gun?" "Why?" "Well..." "Dirk was Victor Fox's longtime companion, and... we've decided to hunt down the Crossbow Killer and bring him to justice." "I thought it best to tell it to you straight." " You've changed, Grace." " We need it by tonight." "Something small that would fit in my purse." "You mean... something like this?" "Oh my God!" "Where did you get that?" "Does Andrew know you have that?" "Oh get real, Grace." "You know how paranoid he is." "He gave it to me after Pokey was born." " Along with diapers." " Can I see it?" "Have either of you ever fired a gun before?" "Why are you wearing that ridiculous coat?" ""Don't Look Now."" "It's a disgusting offensive movie about a psychotic dwarf in a red raincoat who cuts people's throats." " Never heard of it." " Doesn't matter." "Nobody messes with a dwarf in a red raincoat." "What time is it?" "It's 3:30." "We should stop for a while." "Coffee?" "Grace." "I smell coffee." " Would you like some?" " Grace!" "Grace." "Oh, hello." "Coffee?" "Come here often?" " Ham and cheese?" " Everyone" "Everyone!" "Can I ask you fine people a question?" "Do any of you know the whereabouts or the identity of the Crossbow Killer?" "That bastard!" "That bastard!" "That bastard!" "That bastard!" "Bastard!" "That bastard!" "That bastard!" "Why you bring him up?" "That bastard killed Bill." "And he killed Alice." "Sweet old Alice..." " singing all the time." " Singing all the time." "It wasn't Alice who sang." "It was Bill." " It was Alice." " It was Bill!" " It was Alice!" " Maybe they both sang." " You don't know!" " We're gonna catch the Crossbow Killer." "He comes quietly, or we blow him away." "No." "Mmm." "Some vigilantes." "Officially sanctioned by the homeless." "I saw something." "What is that?" " It's the cops." " Oh my God." " Dirk, kiss Grace passionately." " What?" "I have a gun in my jacket." "We're vigilantes." "They'll think you're lovers." "Kiss her." " No." " Then kiss me." "I'm not kissing anyone." "Did you see that?" "What?" "Did you ever see a movie called "Don't Look Now"?" "What are you doing down here?" "Um..." "I was necking with my boyfriend." "Dirk!" "Good evening, officers." "You this young lady's boyfriend?" "I am." "What are you doing?" "I was watching them." "You know these people?" " Yes." " No." "Oops." "Don't worry." "Nothing terrible." "Carrying a concealed weapon." "And if you brought Pokey here to shame me, it didn't work." "It was my first offense so they knocked it down to a misdemeanor." "Oh, Mommy missed you." "What are you doing?" "There's a court appearance next week." "There'll be a significant fine to pay." "They didn't charge you, Grace, or, um" "Dirk." "That's Dirk?" "Mm-hm." "Thank you for coming, Max." "Oh, no." "We need to talk, Grace." "You sold our furniture." "Oh, no, no." "I was angry." "It's really back in my place." "Oh." "Uh, look." "Why don't I take you to breakfast?" "Well, you're not dull anymore, Grace." "I was the one who wanted to do dangerous things." "Look at you in the last two weeks." "You've been to England." "Tracked a serial killer." "Been arrested." "Made new friends." "All I've done is changed apartments." "I haven't even managed to unpack my things." "I don't want a divorce." "Dirk, Grace is my wife, and I am going to fight you for her." "I realize I've been a complete fool." "And I guess what I'm asking is that you give up Dirk here." "But Max, darling, I'm afraid you're ow!" "Yeah, but then again, Max." "Look here, Max..." "Grace is my woman now." "Grace, I know he's young." "And handsome." "Oh, thanks." "But we've put in a lot of years together, kid." "And when you've got two people like us, with all the good stuff behind us and good stuff that could be, it just doesn't make sense to discard it, right?" "I mean, it" "First time we met, how cold it was." "You lent me your scarf." "And then that silly little apartment in Milwaukee my first job." "How far would I travel to be where you are?" "What is the distance from here to a star?" "And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?" "How deep is the ocean..." "Ah... you don't want to take me back." "It's over." "Max!" "Max!" "He needs me." "He fought for me." "Nobody's ever fought for me." "Here's the key to my apartment." "It was staring us in the face all the time." "What was?" "The reason he chose Victor, and the tramps." "There wasn't a reason." "I want you to stay as long as you like." "Off you go." "I'm British and I need a gun." "Oh!" "It's..." "Nice, Max." "It..." "It doesn't feel like home." "Do you know what I'd like to do?" " What's that?" " I'd like to sing." " Why don't you?" " You mean it?" "I missed your singing." "It always drove me crazy but... when it wasn't there I really missed it." "Oh, no." "I don't mean around the house." "I mean, sing to people." "You mean in public?" "Yeah." "I'd be scared, but yeah." "ln a bar." "You want to be a lounge singer?" "Well, at first." "And then, who knows?" "I mean, anything's possible." "Well, I agree that anything's possible but it's not very realistic, is it?" "I mean, shouldn't you have... explored this line of work earlier... when you were younger?" "So that you might have had the opportunity and the time to to fail?" "But what about dangerous things, Max?" "Oh, I think we've done our dangerous things." "I mean, I've had enough danger to last a lifetime." "So... you want it the way it was?" "No." "Similar, but different." ""Hello, you've reached Andrew and Maudey." "That's right, we're back together." "So for those of you who doubted that this was a marriage made in heaven," "Fuck you!"" "No, too bitter." ""Hello, I'm a goddess." "He got down on his knees and begged me."" "Hello." " Maudey?" " Grace?" "Why do you think the Crossbow Killer chose Victor?" "Grace, remember closure?" "Well, we closed." "But Dirk said there was a reason." "He said it was staring us in the face." "The reason is he met a psycho." "It could have been anyone." "But it wasn't anyone." "It was Victor Fox." " And two tramps." " We got what we wanted." "I got Andrew, you got Max." "We should be happy and getting on with our new lives." "What about Dirk?" "No matter what I do..." "Go back to bed, Grace." "Whatever happened between you and Dirk is over." "Doesn't matter where you go or what you do" "I want to spend each day of my life with you..." "You're right." "I got what I wanted." "Didn't I?" " Now listen, honey..." " It's singing." " What?" " Remember what the tramp said?" "The ones who were killed were singing all the time." " What if Victor was singing too?" " He kills anyone who sings." "Grace!" "Grace!" "What are you doing?" "I'm trying to attract the Crossbow Killer." "We thought you were going to sing." " Were did you get that gun?" " What are you wearing?" "It's Victor's." "He wore a suit like this on the night he died." "Dirk, you're gonna get yourself killed." "You know what Victor used to say?" ""A life lived in fear isn't a life worth living."" " No he didn't." " What do you mean, "No he didn't"?" "He said, "A life lived in fear..." "isn't much fun."" " "lsn't much fun"?" " Yes, worth living but not much fun." " Come off it." "Victor would never say that." " Can we get out of here?" "I happen to know he did." "A bartender told me." "Does Max love you?" "It's a simple question." "Did he tell you he loved you?" "ln his way." "Good." "Now piss off." "Unlike the two of you, I have fears to face." " Dirk, you did it." " Now what?" "I don't know." "I didn't think it would work." "Don't move." "Far as I know he can only shoot one of us at a time." " Which one?" " You're the one in the glitter suit." "Stay together." "Maybe you shouldn't stay too close to Dirk, Grace." "God, I think I just got us all killed." "No!" "You I know you." "Who?" "You're her in the room with the baby." "You mean Pokey?" "You saw me with my grandson?" "Who are you?" "I do know you." "You clean my windows." "Seeing you and that baby dancing... reminded me of my mother... and her love." "For God's sake, say something." "Yes" "You're not gonna be loved pointing a crossbow at people." "You!" " You're just like everybody else!" " No, we're not!" "Look at us." "Do we look like everybody else?" "We're not." "We're like you." "We're unloved, unnoticed." "I am not unnoticed." "Don't you read the papers?" "Yes you're very famous." "Even I've heard of you, and I'm British." "I know that jacket." "No, you don't." "Everyone's wearing them in Britain" "They're all the rage." "The streets are a-glitter." "What were you and the baby dancing to?" "What was that song?" "It was a song by Victor Fox." "Oh." "I didn't mean to hurt him." "My mother had a lot of his records." "But he was walking alone and he was singing and when they sing it makes me think of my mother and I get sad." "I have to make them stop." "What was that song you were singing to the baby?" "What?" "Was it..." "Was it "I Can't Smile Without You"?" "My mother used to sing that to me when I was little." " No..." " Yes, it was." "Yes, it was." "Yes, it was." "How does that go again?" "Huh?" "All right, sing it for me!" "You know I..." "Can't smile without you" "I can't smile without you" "I can't laugh and I can't sing" "I'm finding it hard to do anything" "You see, I feel sad" "When you're sad" "Feel glad when you're glad" "If you only knew" "What I'm going through" "I just can't smile" "Without you" "You came along" "Just like a song" "And brightened my day" "Who'd have believed that you were part of a dream?" "Now it all seems" "Light-years away" "Now you know I can't smile without you" "I can't smile without you" "I can't laugh" "I can't sing" "I'm finding it hard to do anything" "You see, I feel sad when you're sad" "I feel glad when you're glad" "If you only knew" "What I'm going through" "I just can't smile" "Without you." "Oh, God." "I'm sorry." "I'm sor..." ""V.F."?" ""V.F."!" "?" "Victor Fox!" "You knew him!" "Liars!" "Stinking liars!" "Run!" " Gun!" " Maudey, get the gun." "I got it." "Run!" "Maudey!" "Grace!" "Wait!" "Dirk!" "Run!" "Jump!" "Ugh!" "Christ!" "Grace!" "What are you doing?" "Are you crazy?" "Oop!" "Don't let me die in a glitter suit!" "My leg!" "Oh!" "Hold on!" "Maudey, grab onto something!" "Ah!" "Get off!" "Get off!" "Get off it!" "Get off!" "I don't want to die!" "Don't let go." "Maudey!" " Grace!" " Grace!" "No." "All right, that's it." "Don't come any closer, you freak." "I'm calling the police." "I can get a signal up here." "You're gonna wish you never met me." "You're in big trouble now." " Please...?" " You piece of shit." "Oh my God!" " Hello." " Max?" " Grace, where are you?" " I'm with Dirk." " Dirk?" " He's in emergency." "I can't talk long." " Which hospital?" "I'm on my way." " No." "Max... we need to discuss our marriage." "Our marriage?" "I'm sorry, Max." "I love you." "I always have." "But I never expected you to say it back." "That wasn't a condition" "Because I was too afraid of the answer." "Now it is a condition." "I don't want "similar but different."" "I need different." "Well, I... don't know if I know how to be different." "Find a way." "We've read about them and we've seen them on the news, but who are they really?" "Please help me to welcome" "Chicago's own Crossbow Killer heroes," "Grace Beasley..." "Maudey Beasley... and Dirk Simpson!" "Wow!" "Is that the way it felt these last few weeks?" "Whoo!" "Wow!" "Yeah, absolute wow, Sally." "All right!" "Maudey, facing death completely unarmed, you take out the Crossbow Killer with a mobile phone." "That must have been a "David-and-Goliath" moment for you." "Actually, Sally..." "I was really fed up with the phone." "Batteries always seem to die in the middle of your most important calls." "Haven't you noticed that?" "That's why I was so excited when Sprint PCS approached me with this new state-of-the-art digital phone." "With batteries that have five days' standby time," "I know if I'm ever cornered by another crossbow-wielding maniac my call will get through." "Dirk, you've lost the love of your life, and then you avenged his death." "You are one macho, take-charge kind of guy." "I love you, Dirk!" "Dirk, I love you!" "Is it over?" "Can you move on?" "Well, I'm lucky to have friends." "And, actually, the Fox sisters have been incredibly supportive since Victor died." "That's why I invited them here tonight." "Nola, Harriet, Lynette, please stand up so that we can see you." "The loving sisters of Victor Fox." "I couldn't have got through this ordeal without them." "ln fact, they have given me Victor's house." "No." " Yes." " Incredible." " Isn't it?" " Wonderful." "I want to make it into a hostel for gay youths who've been kicked out of their homes by their intolerant families." "I think Victor would have wanted it that way." "I know the Fox sisters want it that way." "We love gay youth." "Grace!" "It's been quite a journey." "We've read about you." "We've heard about you." "What is there left to say?" "Actually," "I have something I'd like to say." "Sir, what is your name?" "My name is Max Beasley and I'm Grace's husband ex-husband." "Yes, Max." "What would you like to tell us?" "Well, it's not much, really." "Just that..." "I'd like to hear Grace sing." "Come on, sing it, girl." "Sing it, baby." "Thank you, Max." "I think we have a surprise for you, Grace." "Oh my" "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Barry Manilow." "You know I can't smile without you" "I can't smile without you" "I can't laugh" " And I can't sing..." " I love you." "I'm finding it hard to do anything..." "Grace, may I accompany you?" "Oh, no, no." "Yes!" "Yes!" "You've got to do it." "Ladies and gentlemen, Grace Beasley." ""Amazing Grace.

"What I'm going through" "I just can't smile without you" "You came along just like a song" "And brightened my day" "Who'd have believed" " That you were part of a dream?" " Part of a dream..." " Now it all seems" " Now it all seems..." " Light-years away" " Light-years away...." "Now you know I can't smile without you" "I can't smile without you" "I can't laugh" "And I can't sing" "I'm finding it hard to do anything" "Now some people say" " Happiness takes..." " Go, Mom!" "...so very long to find" "Well, I'm finding it hard" " Leaving your love behind me..." " Everybody!"
