Doctor Zhivago - It Comes as no Surprise Lyrics |
Broadway production 2015 Doctor Zhivago the Musical - It Comes as no Surprise Lyrics
"It Comes As No Surprise" from musical "Doctor Zhivago" starring Tam Mutu and Kelli Barrett.
This song is a duet sung by Yurii Zhivago's wife, Tonia Gromeko, and his star-crossed lover, the mysterious Lara Guishar. Tonia is played by Lora Lee Gayer (Follies 2011 revival- Young Sally), and Lara is played by the amazingly talented Kelli Barrett (Wicked- Nessarose Thropp). It is in the key of A major until Lara sings, "Shouldn't I be calm and distant?" Then, it is sung in a sort of F major with a slight texture chage until they both finally sing "And it comes as no surprise/There's forgiveness in her eyes." From there the song is sung in B flat major with the regular texture. Enjoy!!!
TONIA (Lora): Here we are Face to face Now my heart begins to race Suddenly there's no escape From what I'm feeling
LARA (Kelli): All at odds
TONIA: Shy and scared
LARA: Lost for words
TONIA: Unprepared
BOTH: And an anguish that I dare not risk revealing
And it comes as no surprise
TONIA: She is gracious
LARA: She is kind
BOTH: More than I would be if I were in her place
TONIA: When I dreamed about this day I was sure what I would say
BOTH: But it's not at all the way that I imagined Face to face
TONIA: Has she heard Where he is If he's hurt If he lives
BOTH: I pray my darkest fear isn't showing So the words stay inside
LARA: Like my hope
TONIA: Like my pride
BOTH: And a moral strain I'm asking her is knowing
But it comes as no surprise
TONIA: She's his passion
LARA: She's his wife
BOTH: And I know that I could never interfere
And a little of me dies When I look into her eyes
TONIA: Is it anger
LARA: Is it sadness
BOTH: Is it madness That brings us here
LARA: Shouldn't I be calm and distant?
TONIA: Shouldn't I be cold and proud?
BOTH: And I know that it's the wiser thing to stay restrained But still I want to speak Still I want to scream Still I want to cry out loud
And it comes as no surprise
LARA: There's forgiveness in her eyes
BOTH: And it's taking all my strength to hide the tears
And it comes as no surprise
LARA: That he needs her in his life
But it comes as a surprise
BOTH: I feel him closer When she is near
I feel him closer When she is near
