Musical clip(s): First You Dream

Lyrics:
BILL:
FIRST YOU DREAM,
DREAM ABOUT INCREDIBLE THINGS
THEN YOU LOOK
AND SUDDENLY YOU HAVE WINGS.
YOU CAN FLY YOU CAN FLY
BUT FIRST YOU DREAM

Now close your eyes- come on. Close your eyes.
Now imagine this: a glorious nighttime sky... a crescent moon...
and the earth is far below as we fly in our plane.

FIRST YOU DREAM,
DREAM ABOUT REMARKABLE TIMES
CLOSE YOUR EYES
AND SEE HOW YOUR SPIRIT CLIMBS.
YOU CAN FLY

BILL:
YOU CAN SOAR
FEEL THE WIND
HEAR IT ROAR
IT'S EASY NOW
IMAGINE THAT
BUT FIRST YOU DREAM

Now open your eyes.

RITA:
Oh, my God, what's the trick?

BILL:
No trick. Just don't took back. Whenever you're flying, you can never look
back where you've been. You can only look where you're going. Ever see a
bird look over its shoulder? No. There's only one way to go. Straight ahead.

HERE WE ARE
HIGH ABOVE THE ROOFTOPS
THERE'S A BARN
THERE'S A FIELD OF CORN
AND THAT LITTLE WHITE HOUSE
WHERE ANOTHER YOU WAS BORN
ISN'T IT FINE?
ISN'T IT FAIR
BEING UP HERE
LOOKING DOWN THERE?

BILL:
TAKE MY HAND
I PROMISE THAT I WON'T LET YOU FALL
DON'T LOOK BACK
THE LOOKING BACK COULD END IT ALL
OFF WE GO TO THE SKY
STRAIGHT AHEAD
YOU AND I
TOGETHER NOW
TOGETHER NOW
BUT FIRST THINGS FIRST
FIRST YOU DREAM

(They kiss.)

RITA and BILL:
OFF WE GO
TO THE SKY
STRAIGHT AHEAD
YOU AND I

BILL:
TOGETHER NOW

RITA and BILL:
TOGETHER NOW
BUT FIRST THINGS FIRST

RITA and BlLL:
FIRST YOU DREAM
FIRST YOU DREAM

Random facts: This program was the first duet that Kurt and Sonia skated together, done at the first Gotta Skate show in Vancouver. Sonia wore a beautiful red dress while Kurt wore an all black outfit. Jason Dungjen and Lloyd Eisler helped to bring Sonia out on the ice with Kurt, lifting her in a variety of dance/pair lifts so that she virtually flew over the ice, before passing her into Kurt's arms for them to skate together.
