<br>

COALHOUSE<br>

What's your name?<br>

<br>

SARAH<br>

Sarah.<br>

<br>

COALHOUSE<br>

I'm Coalhouse.<br>

<br>

SARAH<br>

I know.<br>

<br>

COALHOUSE<br>

There was no music in my heart tonight.<br>

Melodies kept refusin' to flow<br>

One look at you, now every note feels right<br>

Comin' out all sweet and slow.<br>

<br>

SARAH<br>

You tell stories<br>

Like your hands play tunes<br>

<br>

COALHOUSE<br>

Sweetest tune I know<br>

Is Sarah Brown Eyes<br>

Don't be shy, now<br>

Sarah Brown Eyes<br>

Oughta take a chance<br>

The stars are silver notes<br>

Across that sky now<br>

Sarah Brown Eyes.<br>

Come, let's dance.<br>

<br>

SARAH<br>

I never heard no music<br>

Quite like yours<br>

Where'd you learn<br>

How to play it that way?<br>

Was I smart,<br>

I'd walk right out those doors.<br>

<br>

COALHOUSE<br>

Then I've got to make you stay. <br>

<br>

BOTH<br>

Nothin' for it but a Ragtime tune<br>

On that piano...<br>

Sarah Brown Eyes<br>

Don't be shy now<br>

Sarah Brown Eyes<br>

Oughta take a chance<br>

The stars are silver notes<br>

Across that sky now<br>

Sarah Brown Eyes.<br>

Come, let's dance.<br>

<br>

(They dance without touching.) <br>

<br>

BOTH<br>

Silver notes<br>

Across that sky now<br>

Sarah Brown Eyes.<br>

Come, let's <br>

<br>

SARAH<br>

Dance.<br>

<br>
