39.Without You (Mimi's Apartment)

(Three beds appear downstage. One, a hospital bed, is occupied
by
ANGEL. ROGER sits on another, JOANNE on the third. MIMI
approaches ROGER, and then appears to be in a hurry.)

ROGER
Where were you？

MIMI
I'm sorry I'm late...

ROGER (interrupting)
I know. You lost your keys. No, you went for a walk; you had to
help
your mother. (As he picks up the guitar) And how's Benny？ I'm
gonna
work upstairs tonight.

MIMI
Wait...
I should tell you
I should ...
Never mind...

ROGER
Happy Spring

(ROGER exits. MIMI pulls out a just-purchased stash and angrily
flings
it across the room. As she sings the following, a stylized
'musical
beds' is choreographed around her; during the bridge of the
song,
COLLINS carries ANGEL from the hospital bed and ROGER takes his
place. By the end of the song, MAUREEN and JOANNE are reunited,
as are ROGER and MIMI. COLLINS and ANGEL have lain down
together, where ANGEL dies.)

MIMI
Without you
The ground thaws
The rain falls
The grass grows

Without you
The seeds root
The flowers bloom
The children play

The stars gleam
The poets dream
The eagles fly
Without you

The earth turns
The sun burns
But I die
Without you

Without you
The breeze warms
The girl smiles
The cloud moves

Without you
The tides change
The boys run
The oceans crash

The crowds roar
The days soar
The babies cry
Without you

The moon glows
The river flows
But I die
Without you

ROGER
The world revives

MIMI
Colors renew

BOTH
But I know blue
Only blue
Lonely blue
Within me, blue
Without you

MIMI
Without you
The hand gropes
The ear hears
The pulse beats

ROGER
Without you
The eyes gaze
The legs walk
The lungs breathe

BOTH
The mind churns
The heart yearns
The tears dry
Without you

Life goes on
But I'm gone
Cause I die

ROGER
Without you

MIMI
Without you

ROGER
Without you

BOTH
Without you
