theme from "valley of the dolls" - dory previn lyrics

[introduction (spoken): barbara parkins]
you’ve got to climb mount everest to reach the valley of the dolls. it’s a brutal climb to reach that peak. you stand there, waiting for the rush of exhilaration, but it doesn’t come. you’re alone. and the feeling of loneliness is overpowering. i never meant to start that climb. i took the first step when i left new england and headed for new york. it wasn’t easy to leave that wonderful house. i wanted a marriage like mom and dad’s, but not yet. first i wanted new experiences, new faces, new surroundings. lawrenceville would be there forever…

[verse 1]
got to get off, gonna get
have to get off all alone
got to found out, gonna find
need to find life on my own

[verse 2]
when will i know, where will i
how will i know what i’ll be?
if i don’t go, if i can’t
if i don’t go where i’m free?

[bridge]
somewhere ahead, waits a hope, waits a heart
that will know how i yearn, know how i yearn
yearn for a dream, for a face with a smile
and a look of concern, what will i learn?

[verse 3]
tell me, what will i know? what will i see?
when will i return?
