As Long As You Need Me

AS LONG AS YOU NEED ME

KATIE

THERE WAS A TIME
I WASN’T SURE
LIFE WAS A GAME
BUT NOT ANYMORE
I FINALLY UNDERSTAND
THE WAY IT ALL SHOULD BE
BUT ONLY WHEN IT’S JUST TOO LATE FOR ME

BUT AS LONG AS YOU NEED ME
I’LL BE THERE
I’LL BE IN YOUR HEART
AS LONG AS YOU CARE
AND WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS LIFE
THEN I WILL MEET YOU THERE
AND AS LONG AS YOU NEED ME
I’LL BE THERE

NICK

Are you sure you have to go?

KATIE

I wish I didn’t.

NICK

Well, I’ll never forget you.

KATIE

Nor I you.

NICK

YOU’LL BE IN ALL MY DREAMS

I’LL GUIDE YOU EVERYWHERE

AND AS LONG AS YOU NEED ME

AND AS LONG AS YOU NEED ME

I’LL BE THERE

I’LL BE THERE

KATIE

I have to leave now.

NICK

No Katie, wait –

KATIE

Goodbye, Nick.

LISA

Oh, Nick! Oh my God, Nick! Oh my God!

NICK

What’s the matter?

LISA

She did it, Nick. She jumped. Katie’s dead.

NICK

Dead?

LISA

What are you looking for?

NICK

I don’t know.

LISA

She’s dead, Nick, and it’s all my fault! If I hadn’t told her all of that about tomorrow mornings and hopeful futures she’d still be here.

NICK

Don’t blame yourself.

LISA

But who else is there to blame, Nick? It’s all my fault.

NICK

I’m sure if Katie were here she’d say otherwise. Nothing was your fault. She chose to do what she did. And it hurts us all. But we can’t blame ourselves.

LISA

But I feel so –

NICK

And there’s one other thing I’m sure she’d tell you.

LISA

What’s that?

NICK

That she’s still a part of you, and whenever you feel like hearing her voice you can close your eyes and there she’ll be, like none of this had ever happened.

AS LONG AS YOU NEED HER
SHE’LL BE THERE
SHE’LL BE IN YOUR HEART
AS LONG AS YOU CARE
SHE’LL GUIDE YOU ALL YOUR LIFE
UNTIL YOU JOIN HER THERE
BUT AS LONG AS YOU NEED HER
