DIANA the Musical - An Officer's Wife Lyrics
Performed by Judy Kaye (Queen Elizabeth) and Cast
QUEEN ELIZABETH:
A long time ago, a princess like you
Was young and so scared of all she must do
She married a prince, a captain at sea
The King sent them away so the princess could be an officer's wife
Oh, just an officer's wife...
(spoken)
They were stationed at a naval base in Malta,
which was then part of the King's vast empire
(sung)
The day she arrived, she knew things had changed
She was one of the girls which seemed rather strange
She made her own plans, she wrote her own rules
She'd drive into town and leave home her jewels
An officer's wife
Oh, just an officer's wife...
(spoken)
And for a time,
Her life seemed just as ordinary as the other ones
At night, she would sleep so soundly
In the arms of her sailor prince
He loved her so profoundly;
They haven't felt such happiness since
She and her prince...
CAST:
But then the King died
QUEEN ELIZABETH:
And she was crowned Queen
Now, wherever she went, she caused quite a scene
Photographers snapped her every move
This frightened, young girl with so much to prove
CAST:
An officer's wife
QUEEN ELIZABETH:
Whatever became of that officer's wife?
(spoken)
All right, Diana - you and Charles are to be divorced.
And your plans now?
DIANA:
Once the boys are older, I'd like to go to America
QUEEN ELIZABETH:
A country unafraid to express it's every emotion...
You'll fit right in
DIANA:
And they don't have princesses,
So they'll allow me to be who I truly am.
And perhaps this Queen,
Perhaps one day she too may rediscover a bit of who she once was
QUEEN ELIZABETH:
As I said, don't be foolish
(sung)
Now, she sometimes reflects on her unusual life
And that unusual year she was an officer's wife
CAST:
She never complained
QUEEN ELIZABETH:
She never complained
CAST:
She was good English stock
QUEEN ELIZABETH:
She was good English stock
And her citizens saw she was their rock
CAST:
The country she loved
QUEEN ELIZABETH:
The country she loved
CAST:
Loved her in return
QUEEN ELIZABETH:
Loved her in return
Her subjects became her major concern
An officer's wife
Whatever became of that officer's wife?
Oh, just an officer's wife...
