          Vanessa Lee Carlton(born August 16, 1980) is an American singer-songwriter and pianist. Upon completion of her education at the School of American Ballet, Carlton chose to pursue singing instead, performing in New York City bars and clubs while attending college. Three months after recording a demo with producer Peter Zizzo, she signed with A&M Records. She began recording her album, which was initially unsuccessful until Ron Fair took over.

         Her debut single, "A Thousand Miles," reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2002. Her debut album, Be Not Nobody, followed and received a platinum certification in the United States. Her subsequent albums, Harmonium(2004) and Heroes & Thieves(2007), failed to match the commercial success of the first. She produced a fourth album, Rabbits on the Run(2011), independently before seeking a record label to release it. Carlton released a Christmas EP titled Hear the Bells in November 2012, and released her fifth studio album, Liberman, on October 23, 2015.

    Legally Blonde: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack album to the 2001 film Legally Blonde, starring Reese Witherspoon, Selma Blair, Luke Wilson and Victor Garber. It was released on July 13, 2001, by A&M Records.

       The album was nominated for the Satellite Award for Best Original Score.

Making my way downtown

Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound

 

Staring blankly ahead

Just making my way

Making a way through the crowd

 

And I need you

And I miss you

And now I wonder

 

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass me by?

'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you tonight

 

It's always times like these when I think of you

And wonder if you ever think of me

'Cause everything's so wrong, and I don't belong

Living in your precious memory

 

'Cause I need you

And I miss you

And now I wonder

 

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass me by?

Oh, 'cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you tonight

 

And I, I don't wanna let you know

I, I drown in your memory

I, I don't wanna let this go

I, I don't

 

Making my way downtown

Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound

 

Staring blankly ahead, just making my way

Making a way through the crowd

 

And I still need you

And I still miss you

And now I wonder

 

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass us by?

'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you, oh-oh

 

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass me by?

'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you

If I could just hold you tonight.
