Miss Saigon soundtrack – Now That I've Seen Her lyrics

INTRO: [ELLEN] I don't want this.
I don't want to fight her.
What did I do?
I didn't come here to meet a girl who loves my husband.
Chris has a son, he has to see him.
If he does she'll be there with him.
I came here to help but what do I do? Now, after this, what can I do?

ACTUAL SONG:
There are days.
There are day when your life clouds over
And the world gets so dark
That all at once you can't tell night from day.

There are times.
When your heart cries this isn't happening.
But the truth is cold and real
And I know this storm won't go away.

Now that I've seen her
There's no way to hide.
She is not some fling from long ago.
Now that I've seen her
I know why he lied.
And I think it was better when I didn't know.

In her eyes, in her voice
In the heat that filled the air
Part of him still lingers there.
I know what pain her life today must be,
But if it all comes down to her or me
I won't wait, I swear
I'll fight.

Now that I've seen her
She's more than a name.
She is not some fling from long ago.
Now that I've seen her
I can't stay the same.
Who's the man that I always trusted?
Now I have to know.
