MARY
I've been living to see you
Dying to see you, but it shouldn't be like this
This was unexpected
What do I do now?
Could we start again please?

I'd been very hopeful so far
Now for the first time I think we're going wrong
Hurry up and tell me
This is just a dream or
Could we start again please?

PETER
I think you've made your point now
You've even gone a bit too far to get the message home
Before it gets too frightening
We ought to call a halt so
Could we start again please?

ALL
I've been living to see you
Dying to see you, but it shouldn't be like this
This was unexpected
What do I do now?
Could we start again please?

I think you've made your point now
You've even gone a bit too far to get the message home
Before it gets too frightening
We ought to call a halt so
Could we start again please?
Could we start again please?
Could we start again please?
Could we start again please?
Could we start again?

    General Comment:First heard this song in the Norman Jewison film version of the musical. As far as I know it wasn't included in the original stage run, although I believe it has been used in more current productions.

    In any case, it is a beautiful and haunting song, even when taken out of the context of Jesus Christ Superstar.
