Friends of Jim Scallan – Where I Am

((this song is from the play "Greek Sex", as sung by the characters of Chris and Brittany!))

*scene: Brittany escapes from the Flyshowers, and ends up walking around Absecon, where her love Chris comes to her in a vision...*

CHRIS
Oh baby..you warm me just like a tropic breeze.
Your dulcet voice keeps me at ease
Like the siren's mystic song
I..can't help but feel a void inside my heart
And it makes me fall apart
Whenever you're gone

But where you are..is too far away
I love you more than I can say...every night I pray

Love separated..takes all of my strength
The power to have, the power to love..every night I pray to the heavens up above
Be..where I am..tonight.
Like the sound of a choir, set my soul afire...just where I am

BRITTANY
But..

CHRIS
(silences her)
Shh. (continues in song)
Tonight..I'm wandering the halls of my heart
Why are we so far apart..
Thats what I want to know
If you were here, I would kiss away your tears
Keep you warm through all the years
And never let you go

But where you are..is too far away
I love you more than I can say..every night I pray

Love separated..takes all of my strength
The power to have, the power to love..every night I pray to the heavens up above
Be..where I am ..tonight.
Like the sound of a choir, set my soul afire..just where I am
BRITTANY: (singing) But you're here with me right now
CHRIS: It's taking all of my strength..
BRITTANY: Don't leave me now..
CHRIS: For you I'd go to any length..
BRITTANY: Just stay..
CHRIS: I love you more than I can say..
BRITTANY: So be with me everyday..
CHRIS: Until then I'll pray
BRITTANY AND CHRIS: Be where I am..
