The song describes the bargirls' hopeless dream of escaping their hard life in Vietnam by marrying an American soldier. But every time I take one in my arms. And in a strong G.I's embrace. The Movie in My Mind is the song sung by Gigi, Kim and the Bargirls. It starts. The dream they leave behind.


A scene I can't erase.
Flee this place. Flee this life.

Who'll fight for me instead He'll keep us safe all day So no one comes at night To blow the dream away Dream The dream I have to find The movie in my mind

The movie in my mind they kill like men, they die like boys The dream that fills my head they give their cash, they keep their hearts A man who will not kill but every night again it starts. “Movie in My Mind” from Miss Saigon offers us a sad but true reality that many women faced in their colonized and war-ridden world: a forced hope … The movie in my mind.
