Original Broadway CastLight My Candle Lyrics:
ROGER
What'd you forget?
MIMI
Got a light?
ROGER
I know you?
--You're--
You're shivering
MIMI
It's nothing
They turned
off my heat
And I'm just a little
Weak on my feet
Would you light
my candle?
What are you
staring at?
ROGER
Nothing
Your hair in
the moonlight
You look familiar
Can you make it?
MIMI
Just haven't
eaten much today
At least the
room stopped
spinning.
Anyway, what?
ROGER
Nothing
Your smile
reminded me of-
MIMI
I always
remind people
of - Who is
she?
ROGER
She died. Her
name was April
MIMI
It's out again
Sorry about
your friend
Would you light
my candle?
ROGER
Well-
MIMI
Yeah, ow
ROGER
Oh. The wax - It's
MIMI
Dripping! I
like it -
between my --
ROGER
Fingers. I
figured. . .
Oh, well. Goodnight.
It blew out again?
MIMI
No - I think
that I dropped
my stash
ROGER
I know I've
seen you out
and about
When I used to go out
Your candle's out
MIMI
I'm illin' -
I had it when
I walked in
the door
It was pure -
Is it on the floor?
ROGER
The floor?
MIMI
They say I have
the best ass
Below 14th Street
Is it true?
ROGER
What?
MIMI
You're staring again.
ROGER
Oh no.
I mean you do
-- Have a nice
--
I mean -- You
look familiar
MIMI
Like your dead
girlfriend?
ROGER
Only when you smile.
But I'm sure
I've seen you
somewhere else
--
MIMI
Do you go to
the Cat
Scratch Club
That's where I
work - I
dance-
Help me look
ROGER
Yes!
They used to
tie you up -
MIMI
It's a living
ROGER
I didn't
recognize you
Without the handcuffs
MIMI
We could light
the candle
Oh won't you
light the candle
ROGER
Why don't you
forget that
stuff
You look like
you're sixteen
MIMI
I'm nineteen -
but I'm old
for my age
I'm just born
to be bad
ROGER
I once was born
to be bad
I used to
shiver like
that
MIMI
I have no heat -
I told you
ROGER
I used to sweat
MIMI
I got a cold
ROGER
Uh huh
I used to be a junkie
MIMI
But now and then
I like to --
ROGER
Uh huh
MIMI
Feel good
ROGER
Here it -- Um --
MIMI
What's that?
ROGER
Candy bar wrapper
MIMI
We could light
the candle
What'd you do
with my candle?
ROGER
That was my
last match
MIMI
Our eyes'll adjust.
Thank God for
the moon
ROGER
Maybe it's not
the moon at
all
I hear that
Spike Lee's
shooting down
The street
MIMI
Bah humbug. .
.Bah humbug
ROGER
Cold hands
MIMI
Yours too.
Big. Like my father's
You wanna dance?
ROGER
With you?
MIMI
No - with my father
ROGER
I'm Roger
MIMI
They call me
They call me Mimi
