S&S Marianne's Lament - FINAL

[Intro] [Piano] [female vocal] Oh Willoughby – oh my Willoughby – You’re just the same as I imagined you to be. Young and bold – and strong, and free You saved my life – you rescued me. I was dazed – but unafraid I couldn’t see – how this could be It was a dream – or so it seemed It was so fast – how could it last Then oh my God – what happened next – I didn't expect – I double checked – It was him. The very one. How could it be that Willoughby was he? [pause] How was it so? I didn’t know. I couldn’t run. -- I was undone -- my heart was gone – it was with him all along, He didn’t speak but his eyes said all – every day he came to call .. I mended fast and that was it – to his heart, I was fixed --- I was his – I was his – It was him. For there has never been a man like him – without a twin, he’s kith and kin. I pray his heart I have won – there’s naught to be done but to finish what’s begun. For it is him – it is him, yes forever Willoughby, is him. [end] Oh my God, -- this is mad --- it’s like a dream we’ve all had --- we’ve been swept off of our feet --- without promises to keep – but It is him. It is him. It is him. [soft and slow] It is him.
