The Secret Singer

Chapter 26

Put your heart in it.
You can go the distance.
Me And You Against The World.
Sky is the limit.
Push to the finish.
Me And You Against The World.
We did it for love.
We tried and we won.
We'll never give up.
It's Me And You Against The World.

Put your heart in it.
You can go the distance.
Me And You Against The World.
Sky is the limit.
Push to the finish.
Me And You Against The World.
We did it for love.
We tried and we won.
We'll never give up.
It's Me And You Against The World

We finish strongly with our hands raised together along with Amy and Noah's hands. The crowd goes crazy, and we laugh taking bow after bow. Just as we're about to leave, though, we hear the crowd chanting all together: "ENCORE! ENCORE!"

We wave goodbye, intending to leave, but Cruella comes out with a blindingly fake smile and brings us back stage while the crowd keeps chanting.

"Please do one more," she pleads. "All I ask is that you each sing one more song separately so the crowd can get something extra before we bring out the girls who will do hoola hoops for a talent."

I wince at the thought of bringing girls doing hoola hoops to the expectant crowd and look into Collin's eyes. He smiles and hugs me to his side.

"I have no problem with it bambi, but it's your call in the end." He says, tucking a stray curl of my hair in back of my ear. I look into the desperate eyes of Cruella, hear the cries of the crowd behind the stage curtain, and finally sigh.

"Oh alright," I acquiesce. Cruella gives me a genuine smile of gratitude, and ushers Collin out first.

I watch from the wings as he quiets down the excited crowd with his expertise, and then begins to sing a song that he says he wrote a few months ago.

Ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhhh

[Verse 1:]
Oh, her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Yeah

I know, I know
When I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me, "Do I look okay?"
I say,

[Chorus:]
When I see your face (face, face...)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile (smile, smile...)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are).
Yeah

[Verse 2:]
Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday,

Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say,

[Chorus:]
When I see your face (face, face...)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile (smile, smile...)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
