Aida - A Step Too Far and Easy As Life

A STEP TOO FAR LYRICS:
AMNERIS
It's so strange he doesn't show me
more affection than he needs
Almost formal too respectful
never takes romantic leads
There are times when I imagine
I'm not always on his mind
He's not thinking what I'm thinking
Always half a step behind
Always half a step behind
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Oh,oh,oh,oh
RADAMES
I'm in every kind of trouble
Can't you tell, just look at me
Half ecstatic, half dejected
All in all I'm all at sea
Easy terms I thought I wanted
Fill me now with chilling dread
You could never know the chaos
Of a life turned on its head
Of a life turned on its head
Oh,oh,oh,oh
RADAMES & AMNERIS
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Oh,oh,oh,oh
AIDA
I am certain that I love him
But a love can be misplaced
Have I compromised my people
In my passion and my haste?
I could be his life companion
Anywhere but where we are
Am I leader? Am I traitor?
Did I take a step too far?
AMNERIS
It's so strange he doesn't show me
more affection than he needs
Almost formal too respectful
never takes romantic leads
There are times when I imagine
I'm not always on his mind
He's not thinking what I'm thinking
Always half a step behind
Always half a step behind
RADAMES
I'm in every kind of trouble
Can't you tell, just look at me
Half ecstatic,half dejected
All in all I'm all at sea
Easy terms I thought I wanted
Fill me now with chilling dread
You could never know the chaos
Of a life turned on it's head
Of a life turned on it's head
AIDA
I am certain that I love him
But a love can be misplaced
Have I compromised my people
In my passion and my haste?
I could be his life companion
Anywhere but where we are
Am I leader? Am I traitor?
AIDA
Oh,oh,oh,oh
AIDA & RADAMES
Oh,oh,oh,oh
AIDA, RADAMES & AMNERIS
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Did I take a step too far!
EASY AS LIFE LYRICS:
Aida:
This is the moment when the gods expect me
To beg for help but I won't even try
I want nothing in this world but myself to protect me
But I won't lie down, roll over and die
All I have to do is to forget how much I love him
All I have to do is put my longing to one side
Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation
Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died
It's easy, it's easy
All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him
On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart
Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding
Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start
It's easy, It's easy
Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him
And how he would have been were I to be with him today
Those very rare occasions don't let up they keep on coming
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away
It's easy, it's easy as life
But then I saw the faces of a worn , defeated people
A father and a nation who won't let a coward run
is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages ?
Forcing us to prove the hardest thing we've done
Are easy
So easy
And though I'll think about him til the earth draws in around me
And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love
There is no denial, no betrayal but redemption
Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above
It's easy
It's easy as life
It's easy as life
It's easy as life

Very good work of music! When I was 24 yrs old, I did listen to these songs.

[@batchohoney]

THIS WAS THE BEST MUSICAL EVER! it made me cry and a production that can make me cry is always a GREAT ONE

[@marissa09098]

she stuns me with her voice...its easy, its easy.... oh wow it certainly is not!

[@cdbaldwin18]

I so love this song, I sang Aida (Heather H.) part my senior year in high school, shout out to Centennial High Madrigals!!!!!

[@sanmakke1]

Such a beautiful chasing of voices. So lonely and so intertwined at the same time.

[@skd162220]

i saw this play when i was 5 and i learned all the songs..i love them all!!

[@MissMcAwesome]

pretty much the best songs... Love them so much. So beautiful...

[@TurtleMooseKitty]

I love Amneris so much in this song.

[@LiveYaLife10]

A Step Too Far makes me excited to be doing this musical next year!!!

[@1920jenny]

[@bambilover26]

[@kamejinlover16]

i just saw this show today (i saw before in 8th grade) and it was amazing! It's my favorite musical! Awesome story with amazing music to go with it!

[@Lisa246861]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Aida and Adam...but I agree, when I first saw this on Broadway, I thought the very same thing. I actually didn't start liking Adam until I heard him sing the song that he wrote for his wife Cybele back in 2007. And then I saw him in the movie version of "Rent" and thought his voice fit perfectly.

[@YeonahBean]

This song is so amazing! me and my friends are doing this for a Cabaret show at our school!

[@bobbybillymiller]

Heather Headley, an amazing singer. An amazing performer. She is parallel to Whitney Houston. Same level performer. Heather took my breath away when I sang with her. She is one of broadways greatest secrets.. She is show stopping. I loved her the moment I sang with her and that connection we felt together...I cried after the audition... it was so beautiful. I will never forget that moment. It was me and Adam at the call backs. My life was headed into TV and film and I choose to do a soap opera called All My Children for 9 months. It was Aida or All My Children. I choose the later. And I so wanted to do this the musical because Elton writes like no other .. and all of the songs are brilliant. There are no weak links in this musical. You are moved from beginning to it's hard and very sad real impassion'd ending.

[@LlamaSensei]

My exact thoughts. Thanks; it's nice to know that someone agrees with me. ^_^

[@jellogirl2010]

All in all, I'm out of sea. . . LOVE those lyrics.

[@peppercasperocean4240]

[@LlamaSensei]

Aida's voice is so fabulous...Radames' sort of bothers me, but Aida sounds so powerful.

[@briannagurl10888]

[@RedKingCommandz]

[@CreativeCas]

@kinli1 She says the Gods expect her to beg them for help

[@RedKingCommandz]

@leocharlotte what a coincidence, i'm singing radames' part :P hey charlotte lol

[@jellogirl2010]

@flinstonegiggles right, I knew that.

[@leocharlotte]

@RedKingCommandz heyy this is ruari right? xD

[@kinli1]

I am confused what does mean the guards expect me to beg for her?

[@caprimeeks86]

Luv7wana17 that's cuz it IS the guy from RENT lol!

[@kinli1]

I am confused what does she mean the guards expect me to beg for her?

[@MezzoSoprano01]

Is that Adam Pascal??

[@LIsann1971]

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHO THE SINGER IS FOR EASY AS LIFE?

[@skd162220]

shit!!1there gonna be on it????

[@marissa09098]

is it just me or does it almost sound like she sings " its easy as a lie"? i know its "life", because its in the title, i just think that the word "lie" would have fit in too

[@LaBreaaa]

Who won't let a COWARD ruuun!(:

[@RoosSzZ]

Sory, but is this Indina Menzel? Does sound like her.

[@illcoverit]

If anyone is interested in singing Aida's or Radames' part in "A Step Too Far", please go to my channel for more information, I'm doing a fandub of this amazing song :D

[@Treegona]

I thought the title of this song was 'easy as a lie'...

[@todaydream]

Hm... it's not bad but I had expected a bit more of it. I like the Dutch version (Te Ver Gegaan) much more!

[@peppercasperocean4240]

I am not saying I go to that school

[@LlamaSensei]

I wouldn't know...but that's cool, I guess? (I just feel that his voice isn't quite strong enough for the part.)

[@LlamaSensei]

Well, to each his own. I think his voice is wonderful, I just feel that it doesn't really fit the part...that's all.

[@wickedgurl5696]

totally disagree with you. Heather is amazing, but so is Adam.
