There’s no significantly new melody in this piece. It’s a “transition” song meant to advance the plot and merely takes its melody from 2 other songs – Caron’s “Don’t Give In” and Jacques and John’s “With You As A Friend”. The full versions of both pieces haven’t been completed, although Caron provides a refrain in Jacques’ “A Million Pictures“.
Don’t Give In / With You As A Friend (Reprise)
(Dawn and Jacques)
Dawn:
Don’t give in to the harshest light of day,
Don’t give in, for we’ll always find a way,
Don’t give in, I am sure there’ll come the time
The truth will appear,
We’ll clear him of this crime.
Jacques:
Don’t give in? How can I when hope is far?
Don’t give in? But the proofs stay where they are.
Don’t give in? Yet all things remain the same.
Our hopes disappear,
We’ll never clear his name.
Dawn:
Don’t give in, even when the journey’s long,
Jacques:
Even when all things stay wrong,
Dawn:
Don’t give in, I will help you go along.
Jacques:
Why must their pain still prolong?
Dawn:
Don’t give in, I’ll be here to keep you strong,
We must have some faith,
For then can we be brave.
Jacques:
With you as a friend,
I will not break, I will not bend.
With you as a friend,
This bond I could have never planned.
Dawn:
With you as a friend,
The truth I finally understand.
With you as a friend.
Jacques:
With you as a friend.
Dawn:
With you as a friend.
Jacques:
With you as a friend.
Dawn:
With you as a friend.
Both:
To the end.
