Passion the Musical - Finale Lyrics
BARRI, RIZZOLLI, TORASSO
The town, it is remore, isn't it?
And provincial -
Don't you think?
CLARA
I'm filling up our room,
Our little room,
With every flower in bloom.
I'll have the fire lit,
The table set,
I'll wear the blue chemise...
LUDOVIC
The time has come to face the truth
Signorina...
Attendants This sterile little town
These pompous little men.
LOMBARDI, AUGENTI, SOLDIER 1
This military madness...
Attendants Military madness...
LOMBARDI, AUGENTI, ATTENDANTS
Uniforms, uniforms...
CLARA
Imagining your fingers touching mine
Imagining our room
The bed, the secrecy
The world outside
Your mouth on mine...
COLONEL
An unattractive woman
Is easily deceived...
DOCTOR
What is the cost of a few words when a life hangs in the balance?
(Giorgio picks up Fosca's letter,
opens it and starts to read)
GIORGIO
My dearest Giorgio.
The end is near.
The time has come for me to surrender
life gracefully. These past two days
since you have left, since we were
together, have been a revelation.
Now at last I see what comes from feeling loved.
Strange, how merely feeling loved,
GIORGIO, FOSCA
You see things clearly.
Things I feared, like the world itself,
I now love dearly.
I want to live.
Now I want to live,
FOSCA
Just from being loved.
All that pain I nursed inside
For all those years -
GIORGIO
All that vain and bitter self-concern -
Both
All those tears and all that pride
Have vanished into air...
FOSCA
I don't want to leave.
GIORGIO
Now that I am loved.
FOSCA
I don't want to leave.
Both
Everywhere I turn, you are there.
FOSCA
Everywhere I look things are different.
BOTH
Everything seems right
Everythings seems possible,
Every moment bursts with feeling.
Why is love so easy to give
And so hard to receive?
FOSCA
But though I want to live,
I now can leave
With what I never knew:
I'm someone to be loved.
GIORGIO
I'm someone to be loved.
FOSCA
And that I learned from you.
ALL
I don't know how I let you
So far inside my mind.
But there you are and there you will stay
How could I ever wish you away?
I see now I was blind.
FOSCA
And should you die tomorrow,
Another thing I see:
GIORGIO
Your love will live in me...
FOSCA
Your love will live in me...
GIORGIO, GROUP 1
Your love will live in me...
FOSCA, GROUP 2
Your love will live in me...
GIORGIO, GROUP 1
Your love will live in me...
FOSCA, GROUP 2
Your love will live in me...
GIORGIO, GROUP 1
Your love will live in me...
FOSCA, GROUP 2
Your love will live in me...
GIORGIO
Your love will live in me...
FOSCA
Your love will live in me...
GIORGIO
Your love will live in me...
