FACE TO FACE
00:00 / 05:14

JERRY CRUNCHER: After a long sleepless night, Mr. Carton and I went to the gates of the Bastille where we approached John Barsad who had become the gatekeeper at the prison. Barsad, turns out to be Solomon Pross, the long-lost brother of Miss Pross though none of us recognized him. Sydney threatened to expose Barsad as an English spy if he failed to cooperate. He told him that he had been seen conversing with Roger Cly, a known English spy. When Barsad said that Roger Cly was dead and presented the certificate of burial, that’s when I stepped in! I was beyond excited! It was easy for me to disprove his story because I, being a resurrection man and all, knew that Cly’s coffin contained only stones and dirt and I said so! Mr. Carton once again threatened to expose Barsad as an enemy of the Republic and this time Barsad agreed to help being the spineless scum he was. Now John Barsad, reluctantly opened the gates to the prison to let Mr. Carton into the tower to Mr. Darnay’s cell. Sydney then told me, "a human being who has not secured the love of another has wasted his life". Then he told me to wait right here for im, so I did. 

(SYDNEY CARTON)

 

I'VE BEEN WAITING

FOR A DREAM TO COME TRUE

ONE WHERE I WOULD HAVE RESPECT

WITHOUT THE NEED FOR PROOF

BUT EVERY TIME I GET REAL CLOSE

I WAKE UP MUCH TOO SOON

AND EVERYTHING IS STILL THE SAME

AND I AM JUST A FOOL

 

FACE-TO-FACE I CAN SEE

IT'S THE ONLY THING TO DO

DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKES

YOU BE ME AND I'LL BE YOU

 

(CHARLES DARNAY)

 

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT HERE

THIS IS MY PLIGHT GO BACK HOME

MY HONOR WON'T BE TAKEN AWAY

I PAY MY DEBTS ALONE

 

(SYDNEY CARTON)

 

I DIDN'T COME

ALL THIS WAY

JUST TO HESITATE AND LOSE

YOU ARE MY ONLY HOPE

IN THE QUEST FOR MY TRUTH

 

FACE-TO-FACE I CAN SEE

 

(CHARLES DARNAY)

 

NO, THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO

 

(SYDNEY CARTON)

 

DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKES

 

(CHARLES DARNAY)

 

DON'T YOU BREAK MY RULES

 

(SYDNEY CARTON)

 

FACE TO FACE FORGIVE ME

THIS TIME YOU LOSE

 

LUCY, IF IT COULD HAVE BEEN

ANY OTHER WAY

MAYBE YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN IN ME

ANOTHER KIND OF MAN

BUT I KNOW NOW THAT EVERYTHING

YES, EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE

BUT IN MY HEART, THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY

FOR LOVE TO MAKE A STAND

FOREVER YOURS

FOREVER YOURS

 

(INSTRUMENTAL)

FOREVER YOURS

 

(SYDNEY CARTON)

 

FACE-TO-FACE I CAN SEE

IT'S THE ONLY THING TO DO

IN THE FACE OF LOVE, I AM FREE

AND SHE IS BACK WITH YOU

 

FACE-TO-FACE I COULD SEE

IT WAS THE ONLY THING TO DO

IN THE FACE OF LOVE, I AM FINALLY FREE

AND SHE IS BACK WITH YOU

FACE-TO-FACE
