Candide - You Were Dead, You Know Lyrics

1956 Broadway
Candide the Musical - You Were Dead, You Know Lyrics


CANDIDE:
Oh.
Is it true?
Cunegonde! Cunegonde! Cunegonde!

CUNEGONDE:
Oh.
Is it you?
Candide! Candide! Can...

CANDIDE:
Oh.
Is it true?
Cunegonde!
Oh my love, dear love!

CUNEGONDE:
Oh.
Is it you?
Candide!
Dear, my love!

CANDIDE:
Dearest, how can this be so?
You were dead, you know.
You were shot and bayoneted, too.

CUNEGONDE:
That is very true.
Ah, but love will find a way.

CANDIDE:
Then what did you do?

CUNEGONDE:
We'll go into that another day.
Now let's talk of you.
You are looking very well.
Weren't you clever, dear, to survive?

CANDIDE:
I've a sorry tale to tell;
I escaped more dead than alive.

CUNEGONDE:
Love of mine, where did you go?

CANDIDE:
Oh, I wandered to and fro...

CUNEGONDE:
Oh, what torture, oh, what pain...

CANDIDE:
Holland, Portugal and Spain...

CUNEGONDE:
Ah, what torture...

CANDIDE:
Holland, Portu...

CUNEGONDE:
Ah, what torture...

CANDIDE:
I would do it all again
To find you at last!

CANDIDE, CUNEGONDE:
Reunited after so much pain;
But the pain is past.
We are one again!
We are one at last!
One again, one at last!
