Doctor Zhivago the Musical - Now Lyrics

ZHIVAGO:
I'm lying in this tent, and there's not much light,
And I cannot write for long.
But these words I've never said keep haunting me,
And I know they can't be wrong.
And I'm still a little shy to speak my mind,
But the truth just won't stay down.
For here in the night,
There's no wrong and no right.
There is only the dark;
I'm alone with my heart.

And now,
I need to tell you now.
I need to tell you how you make me feel.
You're like a song,
I sing you all day long;
A melody so strong and sweet and real.
And I don't know if you'll ever feel this way,
But I have to say what I have to say.
I love you,
And I need to tell you now.

LARA:
I wonder if he knew every time we met,
I was trembling inside.
I longed to take your hand for we stood so close,
But the distance seemed so wide.
I was waiting for a time, a turn, a sign,
As the days kept rushing by.
And it all went so fast,
A moment had past.
And I know that you're gone,
But the hunger lives on.

And now,
I need to tell you now.
I need to tell you how you make me feel.
There's only now;
What point is there to wait?
Tomorrow is too late,
I can't unsee,
That I may not ever have another day;
So I have to say what I have to say.
I love you,
And I need to tell you now.

ZHIVAGO:
My arms are empty,
Lara:
But you're still here;

BOTH:
Like a mirage that will disappear.

Now, the only time is now;
A time to tell you how I need you near.
I breathe you in,
I feel you on my skin.
You melt away the cold and pain and fear.
And there may not ever be another day,
But I know my life can't end this way.
I love you,

ZHIVAGO:
And I need to tell you now.

LARA:
I need to tell you...

BOTH:
I need to tell you now.
