Patti Labelle: “Why me?”
Michael Crawford: “Why you?”

Labelle: “Well, you still make me laugh.
Not as often maybe as in the past.
Still enough for me to hang around”

Crawford: “Don't you ever question—”

Labelle: “I don't question what I've found…”

Together: “With your hand upon my heart…
You make me stronger than I thought I could be!
When the world desires to tear us apart,
I put my hand upon your heart!”

Crawford: “Sometimes we're forced to sail…”

Labelle: “In troubled waters, if the wind does prevail.”

Crawford: “Hmm, it's not good enough, no, not good enough, you see—”

Labelle: “Oh, but it's good enough for me…”

Together: “With your hand upon my heart…
You make me stronger than I thought I could be!
When the world desires to tear us apart,
I put my hand upon your heart!”

Crawford: “And if we lose the light?”

Labelle: “Well, do we have to see?”

Together: “For in perpetual night, I feel you here with me!”

Crawford: “I feel your hand upon my heart!”
Labelle: (echoed) “I feel your hand, I feel you hand!”
Crawford: “You make me stronger than I thought I could be…”
Labelle: (echoed) “You make me strong…”

Crawford: “And if the world would dare—”

Together: “to tear us apart, I'd be right here!
I feel your hand upon my heart!”
Crawford: You hand...
Labelle: I feel...
Together: ...your hand upon my heart
