2021 Broadway DIANA the Musical - Happiness/Simply Breathe Lyrics
Performed by Jeanna de Waal (Diana), Roe Hartrampf (Prince Charles) and Cast.
DIANA: William, my dear little prize It stops me to look in your eyes My gorgeous heir to the throne Do I dare call you my own
To me you're much more than an heir You're simply my heart lying there And can't we forever be This happy new family
Happiness, happiness You find a way to face the day When you find happiness
CHARLES: Darling, I'm holding our son So let me say Jolly well done Never thought I was the type to cry Or sing a sweet lullaby
Happiness, happiness After all we've both been through Have we found happiness?
SERVANT: (spoken) Sir, it's Mrs. Parker-Bowles on the line
CAMILLA: (spoken) Charles?
CHARLES: (spoken) How've you been?
CAMILLA: (spoken) All is well, I suppose. And you?
CHARLES: (spoken) William brings me an impossible sense of joy, But it's lovely to hear your voice
CHARLES: I will always love you You still haunt my dreams And we will be there for each other Always be there for each other
DIANA: (spoken) Is that...?
CHARLES: (spoken) It was simply a phone conversation, that is all. You misunderstood
DIANA: (spoken) You said you were still in love with her!
CHARLES: (spoken) I said nothing of the kind! Now if you don't mind, I'd rather not have this conversation again and again
DIANA: Stop, breathe I feel so unprotected Hopes fade This is not what I expected A princess unperfected
If no one's listening A husband barely there Can't grab a gasp of air Don't forget this was your dream So simply breathe (simply breathe)
PAUL: (spoken) She hardly eats, her mood changes by the minute
SARAH: (spoken) She's even been threatening to harm herself!
DOCTOR: (spoken) It's postpartum depression, I'm afraid it's grown quite severe
SARAH: (spoken) And when she has her next child?
DOCTOR: (spoken) It will likely grow worse
ENSEMBLE: Simply, simply, simply breathe
DIANA: Harry, my ginger-haired son You'll always be second to none Perhaps, at last, finally Your dad will be so proud of me
CHARLES: (spoken) Another boy, then. Seems you have ignored my request for a girl
DIANA: (spoken) So our own son isn't good enough for you?
CHARLES: (spoken) Christ, Diana. Don't overreact to a joke
DIANA: (spoken) She's still in our marriage. She will always be in our marriage
CHARLES: (spoken) Is it your intention to drive me back to her? Because that is exactly what you are doing!
DIANA: Wounds heal But scars can last forever Hearts bend Break, and burst, and sever A dangerous endeavor
Avoid the flashing glare Undone yet undeterred Defy this life absurd I think it's time to change your dream So simply breathe
I could use a prince To save me from my prince How does one survive When it hurts to be alive?
Wounds heal But scars can't last forever And you can't breathe
CAST: You can't breathe Simply breathe
