Lyrics
I closed my eyes
Drew back the curtain
To see for certain
What I thought I knew

Far, far away
Someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do

I wore my coat (I wore my coat)
With golden lining
Bright colors shining
Wonderful and new

And in the east (and in the east)
The dawn was breaking
And the world was waking
Any dream will do

A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colors faded into darkness
I was left alone

May I return (may I return)
To the beginning
The light is dimming
And the dream is too

The world and I (the world and I)
We are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do

A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colors faded into darkness
I was left alone

May I return (may I return)
To the beginning
The light is dimming
And the dream is too

The world and I (the world and I)
We are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do

Any dream will do
(Any dream, any dream, any dream)
Any dream will do
(Any dream, any dream, any dream)
Any dream will do
(Any dream, any dream, any dream)

In the summer of 1967, Andrew Lloyd Webber was asked by Alan Doggett, head of the Music Department at Colet court, St Paul’s Junior School who taught his younger brother, Julian, to write a ‘pop cantata’ for the school choir to sing at their Easter end of term concert.
Andrew immediately approached his friend Tim Rice to ask if he would write lyrics for the project. After toying with ideas about spies, 007′s and the like, Tim suggested the story of Joseph.

The first performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was on a cold winter afternoon on 1st March 1968 at the Old Assembly Hall, Colet Court, Hammersmith.
Accompanied by the School orchestra and conducted by Alan Doggett, the performance was only 15 minutes long.

It was such a success that a second performance was arranged on 12th May 1968 at Central Hall, Westminster, where Andrew’s father was the organist. Julian Lloyd Webber gave a classical recital in the first half, along with Bill Lloyd Webber. The audience of approximately 2,500 consisted mainly of parents of the Colet Court boys. To Andrew and Tim’s surprise, Derek Jewell, Jazz and Pop Critic for The Sunday Times, saw the show and wrote a favourable review of Joseph, which appeared on 19th May 1968. A third performance took place on 9th November 1968 at St Paul’s Cathedral, where Joseph was expanded to include songs such as ‘Potiphar’ for the first time.

who cutting onions Donny is the best Joseph i have even seen he is the only Joseph i will ever watched

[enencycruz]

I love how in this video.instead of the color of his coat it is the ones around him that are his color.

[TheHManShow]

Donny said he knew this would the last time he’d ever play Joseph and that makes this performance all the more meaningful

[inglesita]

Watched this on VHS when I was little, just bought the DVD! My love for it hasn’t changed one bit!

[creepylookingballoon]

I get the feeling from this scene that the narrator could also represent Joseph's Mom. She died before this story happened, and her spirit is seeing her son and his struggles. In this song Joseph is able to feel her spirit watching over him.

[scarlettx]

It’s 2020 Im a teenager and this is the best musical I have ever watched it will always be my favourite 💓

[s_vlog]

This gets me really emotional. Aww I can’t get enough of Donny Osmond xx 😘

[lizzielane]

I think the part where the Narrator joins is a lot more romantic than it was meant to be. I mean, they look at each other with so much love! I ship 💗💗💗

[martinpatrick]

Saw in the north American touring company of Joseph when the musical was here, Donny was awsome in the role of Joseph.his voice was awsome.

[Lol_]

Jonny osmond has the voice of a real angel :3

[s_vlog]

Once again Donny has a voice of an angel in this song and I absolutely love it xx 😘

[sophiecebula]

this song is so touching and great reprise

[alicehenderson]

Donny Osmond has the most amazing voice, he is an absolute star.

[shaunamcgowan]

this is my favorite song out of all of it

[sophie-jnwz]

Insane Theory. The Narrator is Joesph’s Mother watching from above and God gave Joseph the chance to see her

[michael.angelofeduska]

I watched this movie for the first time when I was 5 years old, and I still love it as much

[emilydiveley]

It makes me cry in the end and it’s beautiful

[musicaltheatrefank]

I FINALLY WATCHED THE RE-LIVESTREAM ON THE SHOWS MUST GO ON, while singing along. I had so much fun, that I sang Elphaba's Defying Graviity end riff on 3:40. I immediately went "HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! GLORY TO YOUR FATHER! THANK YOU, JESUS!!!"

[martinpatrick]

2019 would have been the anniversary of the film version of Joseph with Donny Osmond.

[laurenjoyner]

This song part always makes me tear up!
