Anneliese: 
        C                 F 
All my life I've always wanted 
         C               F 
To have one day just for me 
   G                   C              F      G 
Nothing to do and for once nowhere I need to be 
          C                  F 
With no lessons, lords, or lunches 
     C                F 
Or to-do list in the way 
G                     C                F        G 
No one to say when to eat or read or leave or stay 
                   C 
That would be the day 

Erika: 
        C                 F 
All my life I've always wanted 
         C            F 
To have one day for myself 
G                     C               F      G 
Not waking up with a pile of work on every shelf 
         C                F 
With no hems in need of pressing 
          C          F 
And no sleeves in disarray 
      G                   C              F     G 
No wedding gown with a thousand stitches to crochet 
               C 
And no debt to pay 

Erika: 
 F 
What would it be like to be 

Anneliese: 
 G

You would think that I'm so lucky 
         C            F 
That I have so many things 
G                   C             F           G 
I'm realizing that every present comes with strings 

Erika: 
  C                       F 
Though I know I have so little 
      C              F 
My determination's strong

Asus        Am            F             Dm             Am 
I close my eyes and feel myself fly a thousand miles away 
Asus          Am          F 
I could take flight but would it be right? 
       G                E

Duty means doing the things your heart may well regret 

Anneliese: 
           C           F 
But I'll never stop believing 

Erika: 
          C             F 
She can never stop my schemes 

Both: 
  G                           C                    F          G 
There's more to living than gloves and gowns and threads and seams 
In my dreams 
         C 
I'll be free
