Someone Else's Story Lyrics - Lea Salonga

1 Long ago

2 In someone else's lifetime

3 Someone with my name

4 Who looked a lot like me

5 Came to know

6 A man and made a promise

7 He only had to say

8 And that's where she would be

9 Lately

10 Although the feelings run just as deep

11 The promise she made has grown impossible to keep

12 And yet I wish it wasn't so

13 Will he miss me if I go?

14 In a way

15 It's someone else's story

16 I don't see myself

17 As taking part at all

18 Yesterday

19 A girl that I was fond of

20 Finally could see

21 The writing on the wall

22 Sadly

23 She realized she'd left him behind

24 And sadder than that she knew he wouldn't even mind

25 And though there's nothing left to say

26 Would he listen if I stay?

27 It's all very well to say you fool it's now or never

28 I could be choosing

29 No choices whatsoever.

30 I could be

31 In someone else's story

32 In someone else's life

33 And he could be in mine

34 I don't see

35 A reason to be lonely

36 I could take my chances

37 Further down the line

38 And if

39 That girl I knew should ask my advice

40 Oh I wouldn't hesitate she needn't ask me twice

41 Go now!

42 I'd tell her that for free

43 Trouble is, the girl is me

44 The story is, the girl is me.
