Leonard Bernstein
You Were Dead, You Know
[CANDIDE]
Oh
Oh
Is it true?
[CUNEGONDE]
Is it you?
[CANDIDE]
Cunegonde!
[CUNEGONDE]
Candide!
[CANDIDE]
Cunegonde!
[CUNEGONDE]
Candide!
[CANDIDE]
Cunegonde!
[CUNEGONDE]
Can—
[CANDIDE]
Oh
Oh
Is it true?
[CUNEGONDE]
Is it you?
[CANDIDE]
Cunegonde!
[CUNEGONDE]
Candide!
[CANDIDE]
Oh my
[CUNEGONDE]
Dear
[CANDIDE]
Love
[CUNEGONDE]
My
[CANDIDE]
Dear
[CANDIDE & CUNEGONDE]
Love!
[CANDIDE]
Dearest how can this be so?
You were dead, you know
You were shot and bayonetted, too
[CUNEGONDE]
That is very true
Oh, but love will find a way
[CANDIDE]
Then what did you do?
[CUNEGONDE]
We'll go into that another day
Now let's talk of you
You are looking very well
Weren't you clever, dear, to survive!
[CANDIDE]
I've a sorry tale to tell
I escaped more dead than alive
[CUNEGONDE]
Love of mine, where did you go?
[CANDIDE]
Oh, I wandered to and fro
[CUNEGONDE]
Oh, what torture, oh, what pain—
[CANDIDE]
Holland, Portugal and Spain—
[CUNEGONDE]
Ah, what torture—
[CANDIDE]
Holland, Portu—
[CUNEGONDE]
Ah, what torture—
[CANDIDE]
I would do it all again
To find you at last
[CANDIDE & CUNEGONDE]
Reunited after so much pain
But the pain is past
[CANDIDE]
We are one again
[CUNEGONDE]
We are one at last!
[CANDIDE & CUNEGONDE]
One again, one at last
One again, one at last!
[CUNEGONDE]
One
[CANDIDE]
One
[CANDIDE & CUNEGONDE]
One, one, one
One at last!
