The Woman In White Musical Soundtrack Lyrics
All For Laura
(Marian leaves her sister in bed and runs out into the night, stricken by the
news that Laura has just given her. She walks towards Blackwater pool and the
boathouse)
Marian:
Inner voices
Keeping me awake
Will I ever sleep again?
Reassessing-
Everything I've done
Choices that I can't explain
All for Laura
This is what I prayed
All for Laura
Have I betrayed you?
With our old life
Ever out of reach
Look at what I've led you to
God forgive me
Look at what I've done
Look at how I protected you.
All for Laura
Shouldn't I have known?
I know one thing
We are alone now!
I sent away the man
The man that we could trust
The only man that we both love
All for Laura
Was it really you,
Who I was thinking of?
All for Laura
But at the start
Were you foremost in my heart?
All for Laura
That's how I'll live
Till I save you
Till you forgive me
I'll dedicate my life
I swear upon my soul
I'll find a way to set you free
All for Laura
Till my dying breath
Long as you're in need of me
I will somehow learn to be strong
I will live to right this wrong!
(Anne Catherick appears behind her and overhears what she says)
Anne:
I will help you
Marian:
My God!
Anne:
I can help you both
He must never win again
Marian:
It's you!
Anne:
I can trust you
And I have a way
We can stop this evil man
Marian:
It's amazing!
I see her face
Anne:
I have come her to save your sister
Tomorrow at this time
Bring her here to me
But promise that you'll be alone
I've a secret
And when it is told
It will surely bring him down
Marian:
Tell me now, please!
Anne:
Only for Laura…
(Anne disappears. Suddenly Fosco appears. Marian jumps.)
Fosco:
Miss Halcombe! Forgive me
I did not mean to startle you.
I saw your room was empty-
I thought you must be out here
Counting your English sheep. Dico bene?
Marian:
I couldn't sleep.
Fosco:
Wandering about in the dark-
And without the aid of a coat! Tut, tut.
You English ladies are so reckless
With your midnight flitting!
You must allow me to accompany you home.
Marian:
There's no need.
Fosco:
You're shivering, Miss Halcombe.
Per piacere- take my arm.
Marian:
Thank you
(They leave together)
