Joel: It wasn't killing that padded out the film. Only love pads the film! (lights dim, music swells)

(singing) When stories were young
And dreams were not done
And sorrow was so far away
A story book scene
With songs to be sung
And life, life was just for today

Tom: (spoken, dreamily) Oh, Joel!

Joel: (singing) But nothing lasts forever
Only love pads the film
Of all the dreams you'll treasure
Only love love pads the film

Tom: (spoken) Joel, may I?

Joel: (spoken) Please

Tom: (singing) The love that you make
With two hearts as one
All told, will still flow in the wind. (spoken) Crow?

Crow: (singing) You give all you take
A day in the sun
But even the sun must descend. La-la!

Joel: (spoken) Everybody now! (Tom, Crow and Joel sing chorus, Gypsy tries to help)

All: (singing) But nothing lasts forever

Gypsy: (singing just behind them) Forever!

All: Only love

Gypsy: Only love!

All: Pads the film

Gypsy: Pads the film!

All: Of all the dreams you'll treasure

Gypsy: Treasure!

All: Only love

Gypsy: Only love!

All: Pads the film

Gypsy: Pads the film!

Joel: (still singing) But now the scientists are calling. And now we better get going. Hmmm-hm....
