Why Should I Wake Up?

[SALLY, spoken]
Maybe you should write for films.
Oh, and I'll star in them!
Oh, Cliff, wouldn't that be heaven?
There must be something to write about.

[CLIFF, spoken]
Or someone. Sally Bowles.
Who would ever believe it?

[SALLY, spoken]
You're right. I'm much too strange and extraordinary. Much.
And much too distracting.

[CLIFF, spoken]
Distracting? Nonsense.
What about Venice? What about Rome?
There was no Sally Bowles there. I was just drifting.

[SALLY, spoken]
And now you're sleepwalking. Is that better?

[CLIFF, spoken]
Sleepwalking? Who said that?

[SALLY, spoken]
You did, last night.

[CLIFF, spoken]
I was drunk last night.
Anyway, I said it was possible I was sleepwalking.
Then, if I am, who cares? What's the point of opening my eyes?

[CLIFF]
Why should I wake up?
This dream is going so well
When you're enchanted
Why break the spell?
Drifting in this euphoric state
Morning can wait
Let it come late

Why should I wake up?
Why waste a drop of the wine?
Don't I adore you
And aren't you mine?
Maybe I'll someday be lonely again
But why should I wake up 'til then?

[SALLY, spoken]
Even so, Cliff, I've always said, when you want me to go, I'll go.
Even this very minute.
I've never stayed so long with anyone.

[CLIFF, spoken]
Let's not talk about that.

[CLIFF]
Drifting in this euphoric state
Morning can wait
Let it come late

Why should I wake up?
Why waste a drop of the wine?
Don't I adore you
And aren't you mine?
Maybe I'll someday be lonely again
But why should I wake up?
Why should I wake up 'til then?
