The Secret Garden the Musical - Quartet Lyrics
(spoken)
I dreamed I walked through the maze to Lily's garden,
and saw Lily and Mary standing there.
Mary, standing right there in Lily’s garden.
I turned away...
I couldn't watch ... I was afraid.
DR. CRAVEN:
Why won't he say what he wants,
Why must he speak in dreams?
Why can't he see what he wants?
To disappear, it seems.
He should send this haunted girl far away,
Leave the house and lands to me ...
ARCHIBALD:
I watched them walk around the garden
She stood tall, grown strong and bold
Then they turned, and asked my pardon
I couldn't speak, my heart grown cold.
DR. CRAVEN:
Why can't he see what he wants?
He wants the past undone.
Why can't he know what he wants?
His losing battles won.
To have never loved her, never known,
How complete a loss can be.
If she could disappear he'd start again,
And live like other men. He could be happy then.
If she would disappear he could be free,
Cut off from pain and loss, a bit like me.
ROSE: (spoken)
You can't marry this Archibald.
He's a gloomy miserable cripple
who hides himself away in that horrible house.
You've said it yourself,
he can't believe you love him.
And neither can I!
LILY: (spoken)
No one is asking for your approval, Rose.
ROSE: (spoken)
If you don't care what happens to you,
think about your children.
Do you want your children to be crippled as well?
LILY: (spoken)
I will marry him.
DR. CRAVEN ROSE:
I can arrange
What he wants. Don't do this.
He's left it all
To me. Don't wed him.
Now he can have
What he wants. Don't bed him.
Unfettered
He will be. Don't do this.
Set him free set him free...
To wander
Through the through the
World world
Let him go his let him go his
Lonely way. Lonely way.
ARCHIBALD LILY:
And then I longed
To join them, know
The peace they feel, now that I love him
Their journey done
Then I woke, once I will live for him
More without her,
Knew I must live just to love him.
Wander on and...
ROSE:
On I go. I won't
Forgive you,
Won't see you
Live there.
Life to find Lily, I swear,
I'll never see you.
DR. CRAVEN ROSE ARCHIBALD LILY:
Just to do what you
Disappear will
Is to be free, then, I'll
Cut off cut off cut off from never leave
From pain from pain him
Pain
Cut off
From pain
I'll help him cut off cut off from cut
Off
From pain from pain
Pain
Disappear now you disappear
How can I
Must leave
And start leave him
Him?
Again,
And live like yes, you I'll never
Must leave him
Leave him.
Other men, you must leave loss
Nor e'er
Believe deceive
Me. Him
He could be
Happy then lily behind me
Rose, I
Promise. Promised.
Just to now you live unseen, never to
Disappear must leave
Him
Leave
Him
Is to be free. You must no, I won't
Believe disappear leave
Him
Me.
Disappear I am disappear
I am
Thinking thinking
ROSE & LILY:
Of the children
I am thinking of the children
I am thinking of the children
