Original Broadway Cast of On Your Feet
Don’t Wanna Lose You
[EMILIO]
Sometimes it's hard to make things clear
And know when you face the truth
And I know that that moment is here
I've opened my heart and showed you inside
My love has no pride, always
With you, I've had nothing to hide
So open your eyes and see who I am
I'm not who you want for me to be
I am only myself, myself
I don't wanna lose you now
We're gonna get through somehow
I don't wanna lose you now
Or ever
[REBECCA, spoken]
Is she okay?
[EMILIO, spoken]
For once, I'm not sure.
[REBECCA, spoken]
I'm gonna go home for the night. Do you guys need anything else?
[EMILIO, spoken]
No. No.
[REBECCA, spoken]
Okay, if you do, just call me.
[EMILIO, spoken]
Okay. Becky?
[REBECCA, spoken]
Hm?
[EMILIO, spoken]
Where are all the fan letters that we got after the accident?
[REBECCA, spoken]
They're at the office.
[EMILIO, spoken]
Can you have them here first thing in the morning?
[REBECCA, spoken]
Sure, but there are thousands of them. How many should I bring?
[EMILIO, spoken]
All of them.
(sung)
I don't wanna lose you now
We're gonna get through somehow
I said I don't wanna lose you now
Or ever, no, never
'Cause, baby, it's time you found
The courage to stand your ground
And if you want me
I'll be around forever

Now
[RACHEL, spoken]
Dear Gloria, I was at work when I heard about your accident. I told my boss I was going to the lady's room, but really I just went into the stairway and cried. I couldn't stop! I called my mother to see if there was any more news and she said she didn't hear any. She was crying too. It's impossible for you to know what you mean to both of us, but I want you to know that every night we hold hands and we pray for you! I hope you recover soon. We'll be praying until you do. Love and hugs, Rachel.
[MARCELLO, spoken]
When I heard what happened to you, I turned very sad. I don't want you to suffer. I do care for you. I care for you because you and your music give me a feeling like no other could do.
