Chita Rivera
Her Name is Aurora
[MOLINA] (spoken)
Aurora, help me
I need you
Come to me like you always have
[MOLINA] (sung)
Her name is Aurora
And she is so beautiful
No man who has met her
Can ever forget her
They're madly in love
Forever in love
I see her so clearly
I know her so well
She steps to her glass now
All almonds and roses
She's powdered and pampered
The sight of dark eyes
Igniting a screen
Scorching a screen
[AURORA'S MEN]
Look at her radiance
See how she glows
Look at her silken cheeks
Pink as a rose
Tell us your secret, ma'am
Tell us, please do
What is this happiness
Shining from you?
[AURORA]
So
You want to know?
Why, I'm aglow
Oh...
Last night, I went to see the gypsy
And ah, the things she had to say
She told me I would meet a stranger
A lean, handsome hero who'd sweep in and sweep me away
I sat there, trembling at her table
And smelled the incense in the air
"Some day, you'll hear a cry," she told me
"A sharp, piercing sound, and when you look around
The love of your life will be there."

[AURORA]
"I cannot tell you how you'll meet him
Or when you'll meet your love or where
But soon you'll hear that cry," she told me
"And you'll look around---"
[AURORA'S MEN]
You'll look around
[AURORA]
At that sharp piercing
[AURORA'S MEN]
Sharp piercing
Sharp piercing
Sharp piercing
Sharp piercing!
