Original Broadway Cast of Amélie
Prologue
[YOUNG AMÉLIE]
My parents tell me all the time
That times are hard for dreamers
And then I'm told
That I'm not old enough to disagree

But when I'm looking out my window
I can see the world I'm dreaming
All around me

It's when I'm dreaming that my house becomes a giant snowglobe
And when I shake it I'm a snowflake floating down the street
And as I'm falling to the ground the world is reaching out to catch me
Though we've yet to really meet
