Prologue by Original Broadway Cast of Amlie Lyrics

[YOUNG AMÉLIE]
My parents tell me all the time
That times are hard for dreamers
And then I'm told
That I'm not old enough to disagree

But when I'm looking out my window
I can see the world I'm dreaming
All around me

It's when I'm dreaming that my house becomes a giant snowglobe
And when I shake it I'm a snowflake floating down the street
And as I'm falling to the ground the world is reaching out to catch me
Though we've yet to really meet

[MEN]
Rafael Poulain
Likes giving salutes

[LUCIEN]
In his army doctor uniform
[COLLIGNON]
Always liked the idea of a daughter

[RAPHAEL]
But not so sure now that I've got one

[BLIND BEGGAR]
He likes to swim
But dislikes wet swimming suits

[JOSEPH]
Likes to clean
And organize his tools

[HIPOLITO]
He likes his daughter in theory

[MEN]
But doesn't really like it when he

[RAPHAEL]
Has to touch her
