[owen and oliver]
hey lily, hey lily

hi lily, hey lily

[oscar]
boys, not so fast
this is mrs. letitia primrose
letitia astoria primrose
mrs. primrose, meet lily garland

[mrs. primrose]
how do you do?
you’re the famous motion picture actress
mr. jaffee said i’d meet today!
i believe in oscar jaffee
my purse+strings are open
i’ll sponsor him all the way!

[owen and oliver]
sign lily, sign lily
sign on the dotted line!
sign lily, come back to us
lily, sign!
it’s not a contract
it’s more like a valentine!
sign, lily, come back to us
lily sign!
[mrs. primrose]
what a beautiful moment!
what a mystical moment!
isn’t really a contract, it’s more like
taking the vows

[bruce]
what the h+ll are you doing?
what the h+ll is going on?!
i go out for a shave

[lily, spoken]
i am reading

[bruce]
a lousy little shave

[owen and oliver]
she’s reading

[bruce]
what’s that thing?

[owen, oliver, mrs. primrose]
it’s a contract
[bruce]
it’s a contract
it’s a contract!

[oscar]

who remembers who directed bernhardt, lily?
who remembers who directed duse, lily?
no one will remember i directed you! they’ll only think of
lily garland! that is what they’ll write about, miss
lily garland! that is what they’ll talk about, miss
lily garland! sign it, lily! they’ll remember you forever!

[oscar(in counterpoint with others)]

[mrs. primrose(in counterpoint)]
what a beautiful moment!

[bruce]

[lily]
lily
why am i even considering this?

[bruce]
don’t sign it!

[lily]
is it the two hundred thousand dollars?
no. it’s more than that!
it’s something else
something else…

hear my heart hammer
feel my pulse quicken
he and i once again
together
watch my hands tremble
hear my voice thicken
dare we fly once again
together?

i got along without him
felt sure and strong without him
i had to find a way to live my life alone
i called my life my own
but how could i have known

that love from way back when
would flood my heart again
that he’d walk in
and i’d hear strings begin
to pull me back
to where i’d been
i mustn’t go
and yet i know i’m going…

deep sweet old feelings
wild long lost longings
he and i here we are
together
every sign warns me
every breath cries beware
but i don’t care!

since we parted, empty days
made up what i’d call my life
now he’ll fill those empty days
from now on and all my life together
he and i together
he and i…

hey lily
stop! be smart!
say no, you can’t go back
to long ago
you can’t go back!

[owen, oliver, oscar]
you must come back!

[lily]
you can’t go back!

[owen, oliver, oscar]
you must come back!

[lily]
you can’t go back!
