Quotes from Moulin Rouge

Come What May

Christian :
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Satine:
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace

Both:
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste

Satine:
It all revolves around you

Both:
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide

Christian: But I love you

Satine: I love you

Christian: until the end (Satine: Until the end) Both: of time

Chorus

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you

Satine:
I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Chorus

Elephant Love Medley

Christian:
Love is a many splendid thing
Love lifts us up where we belong
All you need is love

Satine:
Please don't start that again

Christian:
All you need is love

Satine:
A girl has got to eat

Christian:
All you need is love

Satine:
She'll end up on the street

Satine:
Uhh

Christian:
All you need is love

Satine:
Love is just a game

Christian:
I was made for loving you baby
You were made for loving me

Satine:
The only way of loving me baby
Is to pay a lovely fee

Christian:
Just one night
Just one night

Satine:
There's no way
Cause you can't pay

Christian:
In the name of love
One night in the name of love

Satine:
You crazy fool
I won't give in to you

Christian:
Don't leave me this way
I can't survive without your sweet love
Oh baby don't leave me this way

Satine:
You think that people would've had enough of silly love songs

Christian:
I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no

Satine:
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs

Christian:
Well what's wrong with that
I like to know
Cause here I go again
Love lifts us up where we belong
Where the eagles fly
On a mountain high

Satine:
Love makes us act like we are fools
Throw our lives away
For one happy day

Christian:
We could be heroes
Just for one day

Satine:
You, you will be mean

Christian:
No I won't

Satine:
And I...I'll drink all the time!

Christian:
We should be lovers

Satine:
We can't do that

Christian:
We should be lovers
And that's a fact

Satine:
Though nothing would keep us together

Christian:
We could steal time

Christian and Satine:
Just for one day
We could be heroes
Forever and ever
We could be heroes
Forever and ever
We could be heroes

Christian:
Just because I, and I will always love you

Satine:
I can't help

Christian and Satine:
Loving You

Satine:
How wonderful life is now

Christian and Satine:
You're in the world  

One Day I'll Fly Away

Satine:
I...follow...the night...
Can't stand the light
When will I begin...
To live...again

One day I'll fly away
Leave all this to yesterday
What more could your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream?
And dread the day when dreaming ends

One day I'll fly away
Leave all this to yesterday
Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day that dreaming ends

One day I'll fly away...
Fly...fly...away...

Gorecki

Satine:
If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I have never known completeness
Like being here

Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you

Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day when dreaming ends

Your Song

Christian:
My gift is my song
And this one's for you
And you can tell everybody
That this is your song
It maybe quite simple
But now that it's done
Hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

Sat on the roof
And I kicked off the moss
Well some of these verses well they
They got me quite cross
But the sun's been kind
While I wrote this song
It's for people like you that
Keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting
But these things I do
You see I've forgotten
If they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple
But now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words  

How wonderful life is now you're in the world
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

Christian: Love? Love. Above all things I believe in love. Love is like oxygen. Love is a many splendored thing. Love lifts us up to where we belong. All you need is love!

Christian: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

Christian: Then I'll write a song. And-and we'll but it in the show and no matter how bad things get, or whatever happens, whenever you hear it or when you sing it or whistle it or hum it, it will then you'll know it, it will mean-it'll mean we love one another. I won't get jealous I promise.
Satin: Things don't work that way Christian. We have to end it.

Satine: I couldn't, I couldn't go through with it. I saw you there and I felt terribly. I couldn't pretend. And the Duke he saw, he saw. Christian, I love you.
Christian: It's okay
Satine: And I couldn't do it, I didn't want to pretend anymore. I don't want to lie. And he knows! He knows, he saw.
Christian: Your right, you don't have to pretend anymore. We'll leave; we'll leave tonight.
Satine: Leave? But-what-- the show?
Christian: I don't care, I don't care about the show. We love each other, and that's all that matters.
Satine: Yes, yes as long as we have each other.  

Satine: I was a fool to believe. A fool to believe. It all ends today, yes it all ends today.
