He Could Be a Star Billy Elliot Original Cast

[BILLY'S DAD]
I couldn't take it anymore son
It was tearing me apart
We're lost, we're finished man, we're through
I need to give the kid a future
I need to look him in the eye
Believe me son I'd do the same for you

[TONY]
But you can't give in now Dad
We've all been out a year
I can never talk to you again
You can't do this to me Dad
You can't do it to yourself
He's just a kid, he's only just a bairn

[BILLY'S DAD]
He could be a star for all we know
We don't know how far he can go
And no one else can give what I can give
And no one else can give what I can give
He could go and he could shine
Not just stay here counting time
Son we've got the chance to let him live
Yes, we've got the chance to let him live
