Tonalité : A major•
Verse 1
A
Gm
It isn't that I want to make you unhappy,
A
but you must admit
we haven't been hitting it off
particularly well
during the last year.
And surely if we're not comfortable together,
the wisest thing is to separate.
I feel so sad about it inside.
I wish I could make you understand.
Everything was so lovely
in the beginning.
Things never stay the same.
You can't expect what was lovely
then to be lovely now.
Why not, why not?
Then we were happy.
But darling, you must see...
Here in the light of this unkind
familiar now
F
Gm
A
Every gesture is clear and cold for us
Even yesterday's growing old
Dm
for us
A
Everything's changed somehow
F
If some forgotten lovers, though
Could wake a memory
Dm
Gm
in my heart again
A
Perhaps the joy that we knew
would start again
C#m
A
Can't we reclaim an hour or so
C#m
A
The past is not so long ago
Then love was complete for us
Then the days were sweet for us
C#m
A
Life rose to its feet for us
F#m
A
B
A
and stepped aside before our pride.
E
C#m
A
Oh, then we knew the best of it.
E
A
Then our hearts took the test of it.
Bm
A
Dm
A
No, the magic has flown
We face the unknown
Apart and alone
Hurry, hurry, we're going back.
I'm not sure that I want to.
I'm not at all sure.
Maybe it won't be as lovely
as I thought it was.
Don't be a fool.
Grab it while you can.
Grab every scrap of happiness
while you can.
Quickly, quickly, we're going back.
Play, go on playing.
We must have music.
Verse 2
A
Listen to the strain
it plays once more for us
Verse 3
There it is again, the past in store for us.
F
A
Wake in memory some forgotten song,
G#
A
to break the rhythm driving us along,
G#
and make harmony again
A
a lost -on call for us.
Play, orchestra, play,
play something sweet and light and gay
For we must have music,
we must have music
to drive our fears away
G#
A
While our illusions speculate for us,
let's have an orchestra score
In the confusions the years
have made for us,
serenade for us just once more
Life needn't be grey,
though it is changing day by day.
The few old dreams may decay,
play orchestra, play.
Life needn't be grey,
though it is changing day by day.
The few old dreams may decay,
play orchestra, play.
A
An orchestra play, an orchestra play!
G#m
Are you engaged for this dance?
A
I was.
But I'll cut it if you promise to love me
always
and never let anything or anybody
come between us, ever.
But of course, that's understood.
I saw you in the ballroom,
G#
I wondered who you were.
A
My name's Victoria,
C
Victoria Martin.
A
Mine's Simon Gayford.
How do you do?
Quite well, thank you.
I suppose you came down from London
for the dance?
I'm staying with the Bursleys.
What do you do?
I'm in a bank.
Dm
High up in a bank?
A
Or just sitting in a little cage,
totting up things?
Quite high up, really.
C#m
It's a very good bank.
A
I'm so glad.
How lovely you are.
No, no, no.
That came later.
You're skipping.
I'm so sorry.
You're nice and thin.
Your eyes are funny.
You move easily.
I'm afraid you're terribly attractive.
You never said that.
No, but I thought it.
F
Stick to the script.
A
Small talk.
A lot of small talk
with other thoughts going on behind.
This garden's really lovely.
Are you good at gardens?
Not very, but I'm persevering.
I'm all right on the more straightforward blooms,
A
like snapdragon and cornflower
and tobacco plant,
and I can tell a Dorothy Perkins
A
a mile off.
That hedge over there's called cupressus
macrocarpa.
Do you swear it?
It grows terribly quickly,
but they do say it gets a little thin underneath
in about 20 years.
A
How beastly of them to say that.
It's slander.
A
Did you know about Valyrian
G#
smelling of cats?
A
You're showing off again.
It's true.
I can go one better than that.
Lotuses smell of pineapple.
Oh, dear.
A
Everything smells of something
else.
It's dreadfully confusing.
Never mind, darling. I love you desperately.
I knew it the first second I saw you.
No, no, no.
You're skipping again.
Was it in the real world
or was it in a dream?
Was it just a note
in some eternal theme?
Was it accidental or accurately planned?
How could I hesitate,
knowing that my fate led
me by the hand?
You were there,
I saw you
and my heart stopped beating
You were there,
and in that first enchanted meeting,
life changed its tune,
C
the stars, the moon, came near to me,
A
dreams that I dreamed, like magic,
seemed to be clear to me, dear to me.
You were there,
your eyes looked into mine
and faltered everywhere.
The color of the whole world altered,
thus became true.
My universe tumbled in two.
The earth became heaven
D
for you were there.
A
You were there,
A
I saw you
and my heart stopped beating
You were there,
and in that first enchanted
meeting
Life changed its tune,
the stars, the moon came near to me
A
Dreams that I dreamed, like magic,
seemed to be clear to me,
A
dear to me, you were there.
A
Your eyes looked into mine
and faltered everywhere.
The color of the whole world altered.
A
Lies became true.
My universe tumbled in two.
The earth became heaven for you.
A
You were there
A
You were there
Your eyes looked into mine
A
and followed everywhere
The color of the whole world,
all that once became true
My universe tumbled in two
The earth became heaven for you
A
Oh, what a life!
