The Woman In White Musical Soundtrack Lyrics
If I Could Only Dream This World Away
(Blackwater House. Laura’s bedroom. Later the same night. Laura is still very
distressed at the night’s occurrences. She is in her white nightgown, sitting
alone on her bed)
LAURA:
If I could only dream this world away
I'd awake
In your arms
If I could keep this bitter life at bay
Wide awake
In your arms
The vow that keeps me from you
I cannot undo
I'm lost
Lost in a fantasy that can't come true
If I could only dream this world away
I'd awake
In your arms
I long to sleep forever
Dreaming only of you
I'm lost
How many nights like this can I go through?
MARIAN:
I am sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. Oh, Laura, you look so pale!
LAURA:
What are they doing?
MARIAN:
They have retired to the library
LAURA:
Stay here with me!
MARIAN:
We can't just wait like victims
I'll find out what they're up to
LAURA:
I'm so frightened
Please don't leave me
MARIAN:
We must know what their next move is.
LAURA:
No!
MARIAN:
Laura, they don't scare me
Hush, now, go to sleep.
