[CLARA]
I'm filling up our room
Our little room
With every flower in bloom

I'll have the fire lit
The table set
I'll wear the blue chemise










Imagining your fingers touching mine
Imagining our room
The bed, the secrecy
The world outside
Your mouth on mine[SOLDIERS]
The town, it
Is remote, isn't it?
And provincial
Don't you think?

[LUDOVIC]
The time has come to face the truth
Signorina

[ATTENDANTS]
This sterile little town
These pompous little men

[SOLDIERS]
This military madness

[ATTENDANTS & SOLDIERS]
Uniforms, uniforms

[RICCI]
An unattractive woman
Is easily deceived(Giorgio picks up Fosca's letter, opens it, and starts to read.)

[GIORGIO, spoken]
My dearest Giorgio
The end is near. The time has come for me to surrender life gracefully. These past two days since you have left, since we were together, have been a revelation

(sung)
Now at last I see what comes from feeling loved
Strange, how merely feeling loved
[GIORGIO & FOSCA]
You see things clearly
Things I feared
Like the world itself
I now love dearly
I want to live
Now I want to live

[FOSCA]
Just from being loved
All that pain I nursed inside
For all those years

[GIORGIO]
All that vain and bitter self-concern

[GIORGIO & FOSCA]
All those tears and all that pride
Have vanished into air

[FOSCA]
I don't want to leave

[GIORGIO]
Now that I am loved
[FOSCA]
I don't want to leave

[GIORGIO & FOSCA]
Everywhere I turn
You are there

[FOSCA]
Everywhere I look
Things are different

[GIORGIO & FOSCA]
Everything seems right
Everything seems possible
Every moment bursts with feeling
Why is love so easy to give
And so hard to receive?

[FOSCA]
But though I want to live
I now can leave
With what I never knew:
I'm someone to be loved

[GIORGIO]
I'm someone to be loved

[FOSCA]
And that I learned from you

[COMPANY]
I don't know how I let you
So far inside my mind
But there you are and there you will stay
How could I ever wish you away?
I see now I was blind

[FOSCA]
And should you die tomorrow
Another thing I see:

[GIORGIO]
Your love will live in me...

[FOSCA]
Your love will live in me...

[GIORGIO & GROUP 1]
Your love will live in me...

[FOSCA & GROUP 2]
Your love will live in me...

[GIORGIO & GROUP 1]
Your love will live in me...

[FOSCA & GROUP 2]
Your love will live in me...

[GIORGIO & GROUP 1]
Your love will live in me...

[FOSCA & GROUP 2]
Your love will live in me...

[GIORGIO]
Your love will live in me...

[FOSCA]
Your love will live in me...

[GIORGIO]
Your love will live in me...
