This song is a duet sung by Yurii Zhivago's wife, Tonia Gromeko, and his star-crossed lover, the mysterious Lara Guishar. Tonia is played by Lora Lee Gayer (Follies 2011 revival- Young Sally), and Lara is played by the amazingly talented Kelli Barrett (Wicked- Nessarose Thropp). It is in the key of A major until Lara sings, "Shouldn't I be calm and distant?" Then, it is sung in a sort of F major with a slight texture chage until they both finally sing "And it comes as no surprise/There's forgiveness in her eyes." From there the song is sung in B flat major with the regular texture. Enjoy!!!
TONIA (Lora):
Here we are
Face to face
Now my heart begins to race
Suddenly there's no escape
From what I'm feeling
LARA (Kelli):
All at odds
TONIA:
Shy and scared
LARA:
Lost for words
TONIA:
Unprepared
BOTH:
And an anguish that I dare not risk revealing
And it comes as no surprise
TONIA:
She is gracious
LARA:
She is kind
BOTH:
More than I would be if I were in her place
TONIA:
When I dreamed about this day
I was sure what I would say
BOTH:
But it's not at all the way that I imagined
Face to face
TONIA:
Has she heard
Where he is
If he's hurt
If he lives
BOTH:
I pray my darkest fear isn't showing
So the words stay inside
LARA:
Like my hope
TONIA:
Like my pride
BOTH:
And a moral strain I'm asking her is knowing
But it comes as no surprise
TONIA:
She's his passion
LARA:
She's his wife
BOTH:
And I know that I could never interfere
And a little of me dies
When I look into her eyes
TONIA:
Is it anger
LARA:
Is it sadness
BOTH:
Is it madness
That brings us here
LARA:
Shouldn't I be calm and distant?
TONIA:
Shouldn't I be cold and proud?
BOTH:
And I know that it's the wiser thing to stay restrained
But still I want to speak
Still I want to scream
Still I want to cry out loud
And it comes as no surprise
LARA:
There's forgiveness in her eyes
BOTH:
And it's taking all my strength to hide the tears
And it comes as no surprise
LARA:
That he needs her in his life
But it comes as a surprise
BOTH:
I feel him closer
When she is near
I feel him closer
When she is near
