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.

whoa. def my fave performance of this song so far. im auditioning for eponine from les mis in my theatre companys production of it this spring, and im using someone elses story as my audition song. its been hard to try to get down the right facial expressions when singing the song, but im gunna study off of this video and steal a bit of technique from salonga. she does it perfectly imo. :)

@danicash80 SHE'S FILIPINO. FILIPINOS ARE AWESOME! FILIPINO PRIDE!

LEA SALONGA is AMAZING but Kerry Ellis' version was much more emotion filled and vibrant.
-
is this song available to buy on Itunes? It is so beautiful
-
Very difficult song to carry from Chess.. both in range and in emotion. Well done by Ms. Salonga@
-

I wish I had a quarter of Lea Salonga's talent.
simple perfection.

@mdiamse: LOL! Kerry Who? Sutton Who?

What I like about Salonga is that in addition to her powerful and very beautiful voice, when she sings, she tells a story. There's always something beneath the surface. Her singing touches you. So much unlike Kerry Who(TM) and Sutton Who(TM). You guys are so funny, @aaprato and @mdiamse!
