耐聽好聽一再返聽.

Thanks for posting, I had been looking for this with the original lyrics 'it's her or me..."

機遇 像天空繁星忽現忽隱， 像水面浮萍飄流不停， 人生的機遇稍縱即逝， 切莫等待切莫遲延切莫因循。 像晴空白雲連綿不盡， 像江上帆影迎向光明， 美妙的人生永無窮盡， 我心嚮往我靈渴羨我願追尋。

Goosebumps perios

I wish the new chorus was "Its her or me, now". Adding the extra word now at the end, allows the same syllables as "Now that I've seen her", meaning the final note of the chorus can be sung as well. Without it, as "Its her or me", it just feels like a part of the song is missing. I get that Now is also the next word of many of the versus. But, it still feels like a part of the song is missing.

I love this version along with Now that I have seen her. Superior to current version from 25th anniversary show which was released on DVD

I’ve never heard Lea emotionally go to town more than in this song. 😱Absolutely heartbreaking!!!

我印象中，這首歌的背景畫面是浩翰的星空星雲

Listened to this double tape deck since I was young- it’s my wish to go to watch it on stage in London- hopefully soon. Sun 17 Dec 2023 @ 22.44.

Thank you so much for posting this, i've been looking for it for years

I always thought that "it's alright now" was a line of Kim and "with you" was a line of Ellen

THERE IS A DIFFERENT VERSION OF THIS SONG. THEY CHANGED THE NAME FROM "HER OR ME" TO "NOW THAT I'VE SEEN HER"

This song gives me the chills. IT'S EXTRAORDINARILY WELL MADE!!!!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!!!!!!

小學時對著電視第一次學會的歌曲，已忘了是怎樣的節目，但這首歌在我腦海已傳誦了快一甲子。

小時候聽這ㄧ首歌是要成長的時侯，現在聽這首歌卻是人生的末班車了，無限感慨 。

This is BY FAR, *THE* most gut-wrenching song of the entire musical. Listening to John describe the twisting dagger in his chest that is Kim's reaction: elation and sheer relief knowing Chris is finally in the same city as she and her son at long last, all the while knowing the tragic truth. Ugh.

This version is awesome

小時侯的記憶

By far the best version of this song. When it changed to Now that I’ve seen her it took away the real dilemma that Ellen faced. To then replace even that with the awful Maybe is a desecration and I’m surprised the powers that be can’t see that. Maybe just makes Ellen weak

Finally the version i have on CD

Selling his mother.... The Engineer is such a very interesting character. Why do I suddenly picture Freddie Mercury performing this? LOL

I like this one. Gee, Simon's voice, nailed this one so flawlessly!!! Always a fan of the original cast...

I thought this is the correct title, the one I've known for years. I just learned in other links its title is "Now That I've Seen Her", but I know if it's Claire Moore's voice or other's.

This was literally my music assignment

What many people don't know is that there was also another version of this song used in really early productions called "Who says I'm hurt?"; which in my opinion is the best version of the song because it really shows Ellen as a victim of war. These are the lyrics I was able to transcribe from a recording of one of the first productions of the show: What did I do? Why did I come here? What other things Has he not told me? I'm such a fool To think I'd trust her I want to leave This awful city How can I leave And know he's with her? I take it back I give up hope I feel like this is near the end There are days There are days when I think I'm crazy I lose touch It's all wrong You love a man so much it blinds your eyes In the night When I lie awide awake for hours And the man who's by my side Is a man who lies Is a disguise Who says it hurts? He's the one man I want Now this girl in love Comes to call Who says I'm hurt? Just cause I just woke up In the arms of a man that I dont know at all When we met In the night He'd be locked I'd hear him groan Day and night Can't he grow? He would take me for his long lost bride (Very incoherent; best guess: Taking him by his young adulterous pride (?)) But it worked Because I'm his wife Who says it hurts? He's the one man I want Now this girl in love Comes to call Who says I'm hurt? Just cause I just woke up In the arms of a man that I don't Maybe I wont ever know at all

Oceane Otoishi brought me here.

1:00, last piano note. It’s a broken note but perfect

This is exactly what Ellen had to see

Also, love how this is not in chronological order in the play. What a genius move

… seen her shot with my gun.

I love his slip back and forth from American to British "R" sounds :)

This is my favorite song of this musical. Both ladies are singing with so much emotion. It's so touching

I will never understand how people blame Ellen for anything. She married a man who didn't tell her he was married another woman! I would say that everyone in the story has some guilt and some responsibility but Ellen probably has the least! She didn't know about Tam and she didn't know Chris was married. Chris should have told her what happened even though his actions are understandable and he did try to locate Kim when he got back to the states. John shouldn't have been thinking of women as meat and a thrill even though he sees the error of his ways and tries to do something about it through the Bui-Doi Foundation. Kim literally kills herself, deprives her son of his mother and decides it is better to die than to allow her son to be taken care of in another way. Again, her pain is real and understandable but her actions are no less damaging to her son, Claire and Chris. The story is about tragedy, choices and responsibility. Claire did almost nothing wrong and people call her names. Some have let their compassion for Kim to cloud their own thinking. I'm sure most people WOULD NOT do anything different than Claire if they found themselves in her place. Get real! Rant over!

No I'm not crying! Shut up!

對這首歌曲有印象的相信都耳順之年了。人生路上或多或少總有些遺憾！改變不了的就別想了認真過每一天吧！

Yes, I know that this was years ago, But when moonlight fills my room I know You are here, still. I still- I still believe You will return. I know you will. My heart against all odds Holds still. Yes, still, I still believe. I know as long as I can keep believing, I'll live. I'll live, Love cannot die. You will return, you will return, And I alone know why... Last night I watched you sleeping. Once more the nightmare came. I heard you cry out something, A word that sounded like a name. And it hurts me more than I can bear Knowing part of you I'll never share, Never know. But still- I still believe The time will come When nothing keeps us apart. My heart forever more holds still. It's all over I'm here, There is nothing to fear! Chris, what's haunting you? Won't you let me inside What you so want to hide. I need you too! Ellen: Kim: I will Hold you all night for still I will make it all right You are safe with me I still believe And I wish you could tell As long as I What you don't want to tell Can keep believing You can sleep now I'll Live... I'll live You can cry now You will return I'm your wife now And I know why For life I'm yours Until we die

The fall of Saigon. Big strong Americans were beaten by peasants.

They are not nice, they're mostly noise They swear like men, they screw like boys I know there's nothing in their hearts But every time I take one in my arms It starts The movie in my mind The dream they leave behind A scene I can't erase And in a strong GI's embrace Flee this life Flee this place The movie plays and plays I'll find my true romance He takes me to a place Where I don't have to dance Our children laugh all day But all that I've been through Can't make my dream come true Dream The dream I long to find The movie in my mind I will not cry, I will not think I'll do my dance, I'll make them drink When I make love, it won't be me And if they hurt me, I'll just close my eyes And see (They are not nice, they're mostly noise) The movie in my mind (They kill like men, they die like boys) The dream that fills my head (They give their cash, they keep their hearts) A man who will not kill (But every night again it starts) Who'll fight for me instead He'll keep the fear at bay So no one comes at night To blow the dream away Dream The dream I have to find The movie in my mind And in a strong GI's embrace Flee this life Flee this place A world that's far away Where life is not unkind The movie in my mind

KIM now Tam, my brave boy our long wait has ended smile Tam for you have a father at last he has come to take you home all I dreamed for you he'll do you're still mine but I can't go along don't be sad though I'm far away I'll be watching you this is the hour I swore I'd see I alone can tell now what the end will be they think they'll decide your life no, it will be me look at me one last time don't forget what you see one more kiss and then say goodbye CHRIS Kim! Kim! CHRIS what have you done, Kim? Why? KIM the gods have guided you to your son CHRIS please don't die KIM hold me one more time KIM how in one night have we come... so far?

(In KIM's room she has dressed TAM in his best clothes. She lights candles at her family shrine, then picks up the photo of her parents.) [KIM] From this picture I keep You, my parents, look out And you smiles show no scorn I am happy today For I know what to do And my heart is not torn Spirits know when to fly When it's time There's no reson to mourn For the great sacred bird is reborn From the ashes he'll rise And upon his wide wings I'll watch you from above I will never be far But my son, it's your turn To know your father's love I know now why I came To this earth It's so you find your place But for that I must leave your embrace You will be with Your father now Give all your love to him When I am gone Take one last look at me Don't forget what you see For now you must move on You will be who you want to be - you Can choose whatever heaven grants As long as you can have your chance I swear I'll give my life for you No one will stop what I mjst do My son, I'll give my life for you (She kisses TAM, prays before the shrine, hears people approching, blows out the candles. She checks to see that it is CHRIS comming. She gives TAM a toy, and disappears behond the bed curtain)

This is lovely. Both performers shine here. Lea was great at all times. Simon Bowman was great in the duets.

This is excellent simply by being slow and giving time for the contents to sink in. Most versions rush though at a ridiculous pace. I don't know why. The acting is mostly quite good except for the part where Chris goes into a rant. Both Chris and Ellen generally sing well, but both have one or two off moments. Simon Bowman thankfully keeps his vibrato in check here.

And just to confuse you even more, 'Her or Me' isn't on the highlights album pictured!

Thank you so much for these!

Now That I've Seen Her and Her or Me are the exact same song with different emphases(plural). Her or Me: Chris has to choose regardless of how it hurts Ellen. Now That I've Seen Her: Kim forces Ellen realize there was a time before her. Same conversation, different emphasis.

I was surprised of how low was the line "I would rather die" in the original arrangement, and she nailed it. I had goosebumps😬🥶

Tell me you are lying He said he'd come to get me Please tell me you're not married Love that motif underscoring this scene
