1991 Broadway The Secret Garden the Musical - Quartet Lyrics
(spoken) I dreamed I walked through the maze to Lily's garden, and saw Lily and Mary standing there. Mary, standing right there in Lily’s garden. I turned away... I couldn't watch ... I was afraid.
DR. CRAVEN: Why won't he say what he wants, Why must he speak in dreams? Why can't he see what he wants? To disappear, it seems.
He should send this haunted girl far away, Leave the house and lands to me ...
ARCHIBALD: I watched them walk around the garden She stood tall, grown strong and bold Then they turned, and asked my pardon I couldn't speak, my heart grown cold.
DR. CRAVEN: Why can't he see what he wants? He wants the past undone. Why can't he know what he wants? His losing battles won. To have never loved her, never known, How complete a loss can be.
If she could disappear he'd start again, And live like other men. He could be happy then.
If she would disappear he could be free, Cut off from pain and loss, a bit like me.
ROSE: (spoken) You can't marry this Archibald. He's a gloomy miserable cripple who hides himself away in that horrible house. You've said it yourself, he can't believe you love him. And neither can I!
LILY: (spoken) No one is asking for your approval, Rose.
ROSE: (spoken) If you don't care what happens to you, think about your children. Do you want your children to be crippled as well?
LILY: (spoken) I will marry him.
DR. CRAVEN ROSE: I can arrange What he wants. Don't do this. He's left it all To me. Don't wed him. Now he can have What he wants. Don't bed him. Unfettered He will be. Don't do this. Set him free set him free...
To wander Through the through the World world Let him go his let him go his Lonely way. Lonely way.
ARCHIBALD LILY: And then I longed To join them, know The peace they feel, now that I love him Their journey done Then I woke, once I will live for him More without her, Knew I must live just to love him. Wander on and...
ROSE: On I go. I won't Forgive you, Won't see you Live there. Life to find Lily, I swear, I'll never see you.
DR. CRAVEN ROSE ARCHIBALD LILY: Just to do what you Disappear will Is to be free, then, I'll Cut off cut off cut off from never leave From pain from pain him Pain Cut off From pain I'll help him cut off cut off from cut Off From pain from pain Pain Disappear now you disappear How can I Must leave And start leave him Him? Again,
And live like yes, you I'll never Must leave him Leave him. Other men, you must leave loss Nor e'er Believe deceive Me. Him
He could be Happy then lily behind me Rose, I Promise. Promised. Just to now you live unseen, never to Disappear must leave Him Leave Him Is to be free. You must no, I won't Believe disappear leave Him Me. Disappear I am disappear I am Thinking thinking
ROSE & LILY: Of the children I am thinking of the children I am thinking of the children
