You Shine
Carrie: The Musical Ensemble
TOMMY (spoken)
Now, I’ve just pulled up in my dad’s car-
(mimics breaks squealing and a horn honking)
-and you’re in your pink dress-

SUE (spoken)
Blue-

TOMMY (spoken)
Oooh, you always look great in blue. And I’m wearing my rental tux, looking like a total dork. The whole thing’s kinda cheesy, but… nice. Then you drag me onto the dance floor, and of course I hate dancing, but it’s the last dance of Senior Year. And I’m with the most incredible person I know

SUE (spoken)
Me? Yeah right. All I do lately is mess up

TOMMY (spoken)
I mean it- You don’t give yourself enough credit

TOMMY
If you could see the
Way that you look to me
I bet that you'd be amazed at the sight
You'd see a heart that's
Fearless and true
From my point of view
Oh, you shine
SUE (spoken)
What about you? Why is everything so easy for you?

TOMMY (spoken)
Man, if you only knew. Half the time I'm just faking it, hoping that no one will discover I'm a complete fraud

SUE
I think you hide so much you feel inside
But I know deep down there's
A fire burning bright
From where you stand
It might not be clear
But you shine from here

BOTH
No doubts, no more fears
I see you shine and the dark disappears

TOMMY
Then I know everything is gonna be fine
Because you shine, oh how you shine
You shine

SUE (spoken)
What a surprise, gazing into your eyes
I swear that I still
Get lost in the light
No photograph could possibly show
The you I know
BOTH
No doubts, no more fears
I see you shine and the dark disappears
I'll be your mirror and you can be mine
Look to me and you'll see
Just how you shine

TOMMY (spoken)
Oh, damn! I have to go pick up my tux before they close

SUE (spoken)
Tommy? Thank you

TOMMY (spoken)
I love you

SUE (spoken)
I love you. He'd never said that before
That's what I remember
Most about that day

SUE
No doubts, no more fears
I see you shine and the dark disappears
Then I know everything is gonna be fine
Because you're mine
You shine
