Lyrics: Here we are face to face, now my heart begins to race. Suddenly there's no escape from what I'm feeling. All at odds Shy and scared Lost for words Unprepared An anguish that I dare not risk revealing. And it comes as no surprise she is gracious she is kind More than I would be if I were in her place. When I dreamed about this day I was sure what I would say. But it's not at all the way that I imagined face to face. Has she heard where he is? If he's hurt If he lives I pray my darkest fear isn't showing. So the words stay inside Like my hope Like my pride Am I more afraid of asking her or knowing? But it comes as no surprise She's his passion She's his wife and I know that I could never interfere. And a little of me dies When I look into her eyes Is it anger? Is it sadness? Is it madness That brings us here? Shouldn't I be calm and distant? Shouldn't I be cold and proud? 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 There's forgiveness in her eyes And it's taking all my strength to hide the tears. And it comes as no surprise (And it comes as no surprise) That he needs her in his life. But it comes as a surprise... I feel him closer When she is near. I feel him closer When she is near.
Anthony Smith I don't really know the sets for the Australia, but I wasn't blown away by the sets in this production. I really had high hopes for the sets for the show and I was a bit disappointed.
ah, then given the Set Designer is the same as the Australian Prod I guess they are gonna be pretty much the same. Helsinki Opera did a production n looking at their RUclips clips, the sets were very impressive, modern but excellent
Anthony Smith Saw it on Broadway tonight. It was fantastic. The set, actors, pacing, everything is stunning anf beautiful and insane. They used lot of projection and some was even not needed, it was elaborate it ints own right.
Lyrics:
Here we are face to face,
now my heart begins to race.
Suddenly there's no escape
from what I'm feeling.
All at odds
Shy and scared
Lost for words
Unprepared
An anguish that I
dare not risk revealing.
And it comes as no surprise
she is gracious
she is kind
More than I would be
if I were in her place.
When I dreamed about this day
I was sure what I would say.
But it's not at all
the way that I imagined
face to face.
Has she heard where he is?
If he's hurt
If he lives
I pray my darkest fear isn't showing.
So the words stay inside
Like my hope
Like my pride
Am I more afraid of
asking her or knowing?
But it comes as no surprise
She's his passion
She's his wife
and I know that I could never interfere.
And a little of me dies
When I look into her eyes
Is it anger?
Is it sadness?
Is it madness
That brings us here?
Shouldn't I be calm and distant?
Shouldn't I be cold and proud?
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
There's forgiveness in her eyes
And it's taking all my
strength to hide the tears.
And it comes as no surprise
(And it comes as no surprise)
That he needs her in his life.
But it comes as a surprise...
I feel him closer
When she is near.
I feel him closer
When she is near.
My favorite scene of the play!! Such an incredible show, had me in tears the whole way through. Its a rave!
The original was amazing here in Sydney. So sad they never did the soundtrack they intended.
I saw it this week. It was amazing!
I love their voices and also the lyrics
reminds me of Chess i know him so well
Anyone know where I can get the music for this song?
hoping the Broadway Version has better sets and the show is more exciting than the tryout in Australia
