Now then business melanie what did lord sheere say to you last night

Not very much but he was very ardent

Good he is coming here this morning

This morning

Yes I wrote him a note from you I will recieve him and when

I have talked with him for a little he will propose marriage

He seemed last night to wish for something a little less binding

Never mind when he proposes you will accept him

When may I love somebody please

Not until you are safely married and then only with the greatest discretion

I see

What is the matter

It doesn't feel like my birthday anymore

A cloud has passed across the sun

The morning seems no longer gay

I had better get on with these bills you had better go and dress

Very well

With so much business to be done

Even the sea looks grey

Not be silly

Cest vrai

Cest vrai

It seems that all the joy has faded from the day

As though the foolish world no longer wants to play

Do go and dress melanie

What shall I wear a balck crpe with a lace bonnet

What is the matter with you this morning

White white for a bride but the sun ought to shine on a bride

You are not a bride yet

But I shall be soon shall I not a very quiet

Aristocratic bride with a discrete heart

You ask me to have a discreet heart

Until marriage is out of the way

But what if I meet

With a sweetheart so sweet

That my wayward heart cannot obey

A single word that you may say

Then we shall have to go away

No for there is nowhere we could go

Where we could hide from what we know

Is true

Do stop talking nonsense

It is not nonsense you are so sure that everything

In life can be arranged just so like arithmetic

Why not emotion is so very untidy

The sun has come out again I feel a little better

Good

I'm sorry

Merci ma ch é ri

Don't be afraid I'll betray you

And destroy all the plans you have made

But even your schemes

Must leave room for my dreams

So when all I owe to you is paid

I'll still have something of my own

A little prize that's mine alone

I'll follow my secret heart

My whole life through

I'll keep all my dreams apart

Till one comes true

No matter what price is paid

What stars may fade

Above

I'll follow my secret heart

Till I find love

No matter what price is paid

What stars may fade

Above

I'll follow my secret heart

Till I find love
