ROSA
If we were perfect strangers
How perfect life could be!

DROOD
I'd know if I adore you -
You'd know if you love me
Too much we've seen together to judge
The view

ROSA
Too much we've been together...

DROOD
And I assumed the future -

ROSA
And I presumed that you were there
And yet I wondered where we met

DROOD
If we were perfect strangers
I'd find my way with ease

DROOD & ROSA
I'd know the path before me, the forest
From the trees
DROOD
Could life be real without you?
You're always there

ROSA
How do I feel about you?

DROOD
I care...

ROSA
Too near to touch you!

DROOD & ROSA
My dearest

ROSA
Ned, how much you mean to me...

DROOD
But are we lovers, how would we know it?
How could we feel it?
How would we show it?

ROSA
How much you've been to me!
Brother
DROOD
Sister

ROSA
I - I pray you'll take this clasp, left to me by my mother, as a vow of my eternal friendship. God bless you

ROSA
How do I feel about you?

DROOD
God bless you, dear

DROOD
I care...

ROSA
Too near to touch you!

DROOD & ROSA
My dearest

ROSA
Ned, how much you mean to me...

DROOD
But are we lovers, how would we know it?
How could we feel it?
How would we show it?
ROSA
How much you've been to me!

DROOD & ROSA
If we'd been perfect strangers
I might have loved you perfectly...
Ah...
