Interlude 1: Marianne and the Bear Lyrics

2023 Off-Broadway
Here We Are the Musical - Interlude 1: Marianne and the Bear Lyrics

The song is written by Stephen Sondheim.

MARIANNE: (spoken)
What was it?
What in the world was that thing
I was supposed to do today?
It's still there,
Still floating, just out of reach...
Come on, think, Marianne
Think, think, think
Oh, well
I guess it's just gone
Poof!
And..
Poof!
And...
Go to sleep, Marianne

The thing is
There have been so many moments in my life
So many wonderful, beautiful,
Incandescent moments
Where I thought
I am going to remember this forever
And now I can't remember a single one of them...
Oh, well
Too late
They're gone
Sigh
And a deeper sigh
And—

God!
Who are you?

Rеmember this, Marianne

MARIANNE:
Rеmember this
And
Let it stay
Just this way
Forever

MARIANNE: (spoken)
Yes, yes
I will remember this
And who knows
Maybe I can do still do that other thing

MARIANNE:
That maddening mysterious thing

MARIANNE: (spoken)
Whatever it was

MARIANNE:
Tomorrow...
