"Too Much For One Heart" (LYRICS)

 In celebration of the start (of the registration) of the Miss Saigon 2012 Auditions here in Manila, I decided to share with you the lyrics of Too Much For One Heart, a song from the show that didn't make the cut. For any Miss Saigon (or Lea Salonga) fan, this may seem useless (since you probably all know the lyrics already), but I noticed that there isn't one available online so here; I transcribed the song for anyone who doesn't know the lyrics yet (and is looking for one):

"Too Much For One Heart"
by: Lea Salonga (Miss Saigon)

Outside there is a war
In here the night is still.
The jasmine buds have bloomed
The way the jasmine will.
And I have given birth to a speckle of dust
To a sparkle of light
To a small hint of life.

Frail as a flower in the morning
Is this tiny work of art.
When I see his face before me
This is too much for one heart.

Here, like a seedling in a garden
Is a world about to start.
How I need you here to share it
This is too much for one heart.

Yours, half of all of this is yours
And I swear upon the moon.

Soon you will see the best of you and me
And the smile that is shining
On the face of your son.

All alone in my arms I hold such beauty
I want time to stop right here
Make perfection last forever
In which I could disappear...
Disappear.

Yours, half of all of this is yours
And now I feel you coming near.

Here, you will see the best of you and me
Both our stories combining
In this life we begun.

I have been living with such wonder
That my soul could burst apart.
Knowing soon we'll be together,
This is too much for one heart.
