When You Were Mine [SEQUEL TO THE GIRL IS MINE]

New Year, New Album (1999)

955: INT. NEVERLAND RANCH (STUDIO) DAY FADE IN: 

The next day, January 1st, 1999. Rachael records a new album. 

RACHAEL: (recording)
They tell me
Somewhere this life isn't crazy
But I've traveled the world far and wide
And I say they're wrong
Don't selll me stories that music's a lady
It's not when the singer's alone
At the end of a song
At the end of a song there's no one
After the last note is played
Only the memory stays
And even that fades away And there is nothing so hard
As convincing your heart
That you should start singing again
You told me
Nothing could change perfect lovers
But like every promise you've made
It broke before long
It's lonely
Falling away from each other
But we've come to the last of our words
And the end of our song
At the end of a song there's no one
After the last note is played
Only the memory stays
And even that fades away
And there is nothing so hard
As convincing your heart
That you should start singing again
That you should start singing again... 

MICHAEL: That sounded great honey. 

RACHAEL: Thank you. (to herself) "For the next album I decided to let Michael produce it to avoid any awkwardness between Prince and Mayte. Prince didn't seem to mind, as he was already working on multiple projects of his own." 

MICHAEL: Let's keep going. (plays the next track) 

RACHAEL: (starts singing)
To say I'm romantic would be quite semantically true
But make-believe passion has fallen from fashion's milieu
It's understandable why we're a little confused
It's asking for trouble just watching the six o'clock news
But for a moment, all things aside, look to yourself somewhere inside
Look to your dream
Don't they still seem worthwhile?
Don't they still seem in style?
Aren't you glad they're still there?
Look to your dreams
There's a need for them now
When the world has us down
Aren't you glad they're around?
Once conceived, once believed fantasy's reality's childhood
And like a seed, visions need constant care like a child would, we should
Look to your dreams
We can still make the stars
We can still break the bars
We have built here on earth
Look to your dreams
And tomorrow may be better for you and me
The future may say
Blame blind yesterday for taking dreams away
They could mean more than they seem
And like a seed, visions need constant care like a child would, we should
Look to your dreams
We can still make the stars
We can still break the bars
We have built here on earth
Look to your dreams
And tomorrow may be better for you and me
The future may say
Blame blind yesterday for taking dreams away
They could mean more than they seem... 

MICHAEL: (plays the next track) 

RACHAEL: (starts singing)
As a child I was known for make believin'
All alone I created fantasies
As I grew people called it self-deceiving
But my heart helped me hold the memories
As I walk through the world I find around me
Something new yet familiar's in the air
I feel it everywhere
Like a child's eyes on a Christmas night
I'm looking at you now
Findin' answers to my prayers
It's a new day for those good old dreams
One by one it seems they're comin' true
Here's the morning that my heart had seen
Here's the morning that just had to come through
Same old stage but what a change of scene
No more dark horizons, only blue
It's a new day for those good old dreams
All my life I've dreamed of lovin' you
You're a spark of a long forgotten fire
You're a touch of a slowly growin' wind
You're a taste of the ever-changing seasons
Tellin' me there are some things that don't end
We have left all the darkness far behind us (behind us)
All those hopes that we had along the way
Have made it to this day
Like an old love song gone for much too long
You hear it once again
And it carries you away
It's a new day for those good old dreams
One by one it seems they're comin' true
Here's the morning that my heart had seen
Here's the morning that just had to come through
Same old stage but what a change of scene
No more dark horizons, only blue
It's a new day for those good old dreams
All my life I've dreamed of you
I've dreamed of you
It's a new day for those good old dreams
And it's all because of you...
