The Fall Of Saigon Lyrics - Miss Saigon

(KIM overwhelmed at the prospect of finally being reunited with CHRIS, 

recalls the horrifying moments when they were seperated during The Fall of Saigon) 

[AN OFFICER] 

Sorry, Sergeant, we must accelerate 

State department says we evacuate 

The word is, we must be out 

By dawn 

[CHRIS] 

I have to get my girl! 

[ANOTHER OFFICER] 

Sorry, Sergent, it's sraight from 

Washington 

No one leaves the grounds now, not 

Anyone 

A fast as we load the planes 

We're gone 

[CHRIS] 

(But my girl is in there!) 

(A huge CROWD OF VIETNAMESE is pushing at the Embassy gates.) 

[A MARINE CAPTAIN] 

(to the crowd) 

Okay! Keep quiet! Don't shout! 

The Ambassador won't leave till 

Everyone's out 

The choppers're on there way there's 

Room for you all 

[ANOTHER MARINE] 

They're climbing over the wall! 

(GET BACK!) 

[MORE MARINES] 

Get Back! Tell you, don't shout! 

The Ambassador won't leave till 

Everyone's out 

[A MARINE] 

(entering) 

Th' Ambassador just sent an order to 

Freeze 

[THE MARINE CAPTAIN] 

That's it! No more Vietnamese! 

Get in! 

[CHRIS] 

But my girl's out there! 

(In the street outside the Embasst, KIM can't get through the grounds) 

[KIM] 

I'm the wife of a soldier 

Oh please let me through 

Help me, who must I pay? 

Tell me what I must do 

[CHRIS] 

(To an OFFICER) 

Let me out, I got to 

Go back for my bride 

[KIM] 

Listen someone! My husband 

Is waiting inside 

[CHRIS] 

(telephoning, inside the Embassy yard) 

Please Kim, hear the phone! 

I can't get there 

Please be home 

[KIM] 

(in the street) 

Please Chris, no one sees! 

I am lost here 

Find me please! 

[BOTH] 

Please, get me through - I don't care 

How 

Don't take my love away, Not now! 

[KIM] 

Oh Chris, 

[CHRIS] 

Oh Kim, 

[KIM] 

I can't get free 

[CHRIS] 

Please get free 

[KIM] [CHRIS] 

Still I'm with you I am with you 

Wait for Wait for me 

[THE MARINE CAPTAIN] 

(to CHRIS) 

Sorry Sergent, inside the Embassy! 

We are pulling out now and there will 

Be 

No more reprives 

[CHRIS] 

I got till the old man leaves 

(CHRIS is forced inside the Ebassy, whose doors are then barricaded 

The VIETNAMESE are now yelling through the Ebassy gates) 

[ONE VIETNAMESE] 

Take me with you! 

Take my children 

[ANOTHER] 

I have a letter from...! 

[ANOTHER] 

I helped the C.I.A.! 

[CROWD] 

They'll kill who they find here! 

Don't leave us behind here! 

[A VIETNAMESE] 

I've a wife who left already 

[ANOTHER] 

I've an aunt in New York! 

[ANOTHER] 

I have gold, I can pay! 

[CROWD] 

There is no one to find here! 

They have left us behind here! 

(KIM has pushed her way through the gate) 

[KIM] 

I must get in there - Listen, anyone! 

Please tell my husband...look, I have 

his gun! 

[A VIETNAMESE] 

Out of my way, if that's all you've 

got 

[CROWD] 

If I am here when they come, I'll be shot! 

(Inside the compound: MARINES guard the roof 

helipad) 

[CHRIS] 

Let me go John, 

I can't leave her 

Why in the world should I be saved 

Instead of her? 

[CROWD] 

They'll kill who they find here 

Don't leave us behind here! 

[JOHN] 

It's not you 

It's war that's cruel 

And if some dreams get smashed 

Perhaps it's best they were 

[CROWD] and [KIM] 

There is no one to find here! 

They have left us behind here! 

[JOHN] 

Wake up, my friend 

Your mercy trip has failed 

There's nothing you can do, 

That ship has sailed 

She's not the only one we'll have 

Betrayed 

[CROWD] 

Get to the roof, or els we are betrayed! 

(The CROWD tries to vatter down the fences) 

[KIM] 

(in the yard) 

Oh Chris- 

I still believe! 

The heart of you 

Is here with me 

My heart, against all odds, 

Holds Still 

(On the Embassy roof, the last helicopter lands, 

CHRIS runs up and down the wall, shouting for KIM. 

Finally he is forced to board the helicopter 

- which takes off. The nightmare passes - KIM is in her little room with TAM)
