Lyrics All For Laura - Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Original London Cast Of 'The Woman In White', Maria Friedman

All For Laura

Inner voices
Keeping me awake
Will I ever sleep again
Reassessing
Everything I’ve done
Choices that I can’t explain
All for Laura
This is what I prayed
All for Laura
Have I betrayed you?
With our old life
Ever out of reach
Look at what I’ve led you to
God forgive me
Look at what I’ve done
Look how I protected you
All for Laura
Shouldn’t I have known?
I know one thing
We are alone now
I sent away the man
The man that we could trust
The only man that we both love
All for Laura
Was it really you
Who I was thinking of?
All for Laura
But at the start
Were you foremost in my heart?
All for Laura
That’s how I’ll live
Till I save you
Till you forgive me
I’ll dedicate my life
I swear upon my soul
I’ll find a way to set you free
All for Laura
Till my dying breath
Long as you’re in need of me
I will somehow
Learn to be strong
I will live
To right
This wrong
(Anne Catherick appears behind her and overhears what she says)
I will help you
Oh!
I can help you both
He must never win again
It’s you!
I can trust you
And I have a way
We can stop this evil man
It’s amazing
I see her face!
I have come here
To save your sister
Oh, thank you!
Tomorrow, at this time
Bring her here to me
But promise that you’ll be alone
I’ve a secret
And when it is told
It will surely bring him down
Tell me now, please!
Only for Laura…
(Anne disappears.)
(Suddenly Fosco appears. Marian jumps.)
Miss Halcombe!
Forgive me.
I didn’t mean to startle you.
I saw your room was
empty: I thought, you must be out here counting your English sheep!
Dico bene?
I couldn’t sleep
Wandering about in the dark—and without the aid of a coat!
Tut, tut.
You English ladies are so reckless with your midnight flitting!
You must allow me to accompany you home
Oh, really, there’s no need
You’re shivering, Miss Halcombe.
Per piacere—take my arm
Thank you
(They leave together)
