Scene One<br>

<br>

Streetsinger: <br>

Once upon a time, a young American went to Paris with nothing but a guitar and a dream. <br>

His name was Taylor Collins.<br>

<br>

Taylor: <br>

I play Taylor Collins.<br>

<br>

Streetsinger: <br>

And he dreamed of being a singer, a poet, a writer of songs, <br>

he dreamed of fame....keep dreaming. <br>

It was June 1969, he was backpacking through France when he walked into this small, <br>

this little Parisian cafe right in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. <br>

And there he met a beautiful young waitress who had dreams of her own. <br>

Her name was Faith<br>

<br>

Faith: <br>

I play Faith<br>

<br>

Faith: <br>

And Faith would be a dancer and one day hope to play the New York stage. <br>

Oh, love was a song, life was a dance, <br>

why it was as if their very fate was sealed within the pages of a fairytale. <br>

And with every fairytale comes a lullabye, so Taylor<br>

was writing one, one that would follow these young lovers for the rest of their lives.<br>

<br>

Taylor: (singing)<br>

La la la la, la la, la la la la. La la la la, our love will stay strong. <br>

La la la la, la la, la la la la,<br>

Let our fate write words to this song. (spoken) That's all I got so far.<br>

<br>

Streetsinger: <br>

But even fairytales come to an end, <br>

and before the lullabye was finished he had to go back home. <br>

He kissed her goodbye. A kiss with a promise to love her for eternity. <br>

A kiss with a promise to bring Faith to America, <br>

a kiss with a promise to finish the unfinished lullabye. <br>

<br>

Taylor: I promise<br>

<br>

Streetsinger: <br>

But he never kept that promise. She never heard from him again. <br>

Faith had his child but Taylor, he never knew.<br>

And Faith named her little girl for Taylor's home far away. <br>

She named her Brooklyn. And she would rock baby Brooklyn to sleep<br>

with that simple unfinished lullabye<br>

<br>

Faith: (singing) <br>

La la la la, la la, la la la la. La la la, Our love will stay strong.<br>

<br>

Faith and Brooklyn: <br>

La la la la, la la, la la la la<br>

<br>

Brooklyn: <br>

Let our fate write words to this song.<br>

<br>

Streetsinger: <br>

And soon Faith became the dancer she'd hoped to be, <br>

know throughout the City of Lights as The Parisian Butterfly. <br>

And she played all the grand stages, her name on every marquee. <br>

Ah, but there was no joy in fame for this delicate young beauty, <br>

for the singer, the poet, the writer of songs never returned. <br>

And so for the next five years little Brooklyn would watch as her mother <br>

revealed her broken heart in dance.<br>

<br>

Paradice: <br>

Five minutes! Five minutes to show time!<br>

<br>

Brooklyn: <br>

Merry Christmas mommy!<br>

<br>

Faith: <br>

Thank you Brooklyn<br>

<br>
