I'M NOTHING WITHOUT YOU
(from "City of Angels")
Cy Coleman /David Zippel


Mel Torme and Cleo Laine




I'm nothing without you
Without you i lack what it takes
Unless we're combined
I have half a mind
To blow all my chances and breaks


(STINE hands STONE the gun; STONE hands STINE a pencil)


Without you i'm bupkis
A flop who keeps dropping the ball
It's time to stop quaking
Start taking the lead
And you are the singular buddy i need


I'm nothing without you
Without you i'm nothing...


(STONE gestures "Wait!," X's to the desk, sits at the typewriter)


STONE:
(Spoken, to STINE)
Let's give this a Hollywood ending!


(HE strikes a few keys on the typewriter
and the giant doors at the back of the sound stage open to admit GABBY,
who joins them, to the delight of the COMPANY, now unfrozen)


STINE, STONE & GABBY:
(Sing)
I'm nothing without you


STONE:
No hero


STINE:
A zero


STINE & STONE:
That's me


GABBY:
With you by my side


STONE:
There's no better guide


ALL THREE:
On how to be all i can be


I'm nowhere without you
To doubt you is where i went wrong


The script calls for fusing and using our smarts
(As STINE, STONE and GABBY get on the crane platform:)
And greatness can come from the sum of our parts
(The ENTIRE COMPANY joins in)


ALL:
>From now and with on i'm with you
You is where i belong
