At the end of “What Have We Got to Lose?”, it is alluded to that Vivian was having problems becoming pregnant. According to the libretto, Vivian sings “A Thousand Stars” standing next to a never-used crib. She expresses her deep sorrow and disappointment over losing her child, who died shortly after...
[VIVIAN]
You walk, you work, you sleep, you cook
You pay a bill, you read a book
You sing, you write, and every night
You wish on a thousand stars
You hold your nieces on your knee
You know the best is yet to be
You count your blessings — one, two, three
And wish on a thousand stars
One plus one is two, sky is blue, the world is round
There are no monsters hiding underneath your bed
No, you can't have fudge for dinner
Honey, hold your father's hand
Where does it hurt?
Tell me, where does it hurt?
You hold him close, you hope, you weep
And till that dream is yours to keep
You learn to rock yourselves to sleep
And wish on a thousand stars
You bake a cake, you sew a cuff
And think of Jack, and Jill, and Puff
And just in case one's not enough
You wish on a thousand stars
You wish on a thousand stars
A Thousand Stars was written by Marcy Heisler & Zina Goldrich.
