"Dream On" Lyrics from Carrie the Musical (1988 Stratford Production)

SUE
Silver lace with a blue gray bodice

CHRIS
Broke his heart and I'm glad I did

MADDY
Almost three in the morning

SHELLY
Don't you hate, when you hate your body?

JAMIE
Treating me like I'm still a kid

CATHY
Touching me without warning

MARY-ANN
Fixing me up cuz he's got this friend

ROSEMARY
Promised me maybe he taking me to the prom

GROUP 1
Dream on

GROUP 2
Dream on

GROUP 1
Dream on

GROUP 2
Dream on

JAMIE
Told him "no" but he keeps insisting
I said "no" but he doesn't hear

KELLY AND MADDY
I don't know why he tries

SUE
Tommy told me he loves me

SHELLY
You could die from his eyes

MARY-ANN
I said "yes" but he keeps resisting
So I go "do you want a beer?"

DE VERNEY / NELSON / SQUEEZIE
With your parents at home?

SUE
Tommy told me he loves me

CHRIS
Dream on

CATHY
I was his first

ROSEMARY
He told me that too

CATHY
I've got his ring

ROSEMARY
Well he's taking me to the prom

SHELLY
But he says if I stop eating sweets
I can lose twenty-pounds by June

GROUP 1
Dream on

GROUP 2
Dream on

GROUP 1
Dream on

GROUP 2
Dream on

CARRIE
Why'd they laugh when they know I'm trying
Momma says "every body sins"
Saints and angels above me
I would die if they caught me crying
I would love if I had a twin
Someone tell me you love me
Something in pink with orchids to wear
Someone to care and maybe I'd finally belong

GROUP 1
Dream on

GROUP 2
Dream on

GROUP 1
Dream on

GROUP 2
Dream on

SUE                                      SHELLY
Silver lace,                            So I told him
with a blue gray bodice                he doesn't deserve

MADDY                                                
Braces suck                                                
but I'm almost done                          me                  

CHRIS / SUE
I got dresses to burn

MARY-ANN / JAMIE / M. NELSON
Why me

KELLY / SHELLY / SQUEEZIE
Billy Nolan is so hot!

ROSEMARY
He's got so much to learn

CHRIS / SUE
So what?

MARY-ANN
Six foot three

MADDY
What a snob

SHELLY / SQUEEZIE
and he's in his forties

JAMIE
He's got his nerve

JAMIE / HELEN
He called me!

DE VERNEY / NELSON / SQUEEZIE
Get a job

KATE
But it's never fun

JAMIE / MARY-ANN / SHELLY
fun
fun

SUE / CHRIS
We were just having fun

SUE
Tommy told me he loves me

NELSON / SQUEEZIE / DE VERNEY
Loves me

SUE / ROSEMARY / KATHY / MADDY
He always says that he's mine

CHRIS / MARY-ANN / JAMIE / SHELLY
You're wasting your time

SUE / KATHY / MADDY / ROSEMARY
Well, he should make up his mind if

SUE / KATHY / MADDY / ROSEMARY / CHRIS / KELLY / DE VERNEY / SQUEEZIE / NELSON
He's taking me to the prom

MARY-ANN / JAMIE / SHELLY
He turned me down but he'll come around
