john kander - her name is aurora lyrics

Loading...

[molina] (spoken)
aurora, help me
i need you
come to me like you always have

[molina] (sung)
her name is aurora
and she is so beautiful
no man who has met her
can ever forget her
they’re madly in love
forever in love

i see her so clearly
i know her so well
she steps to her gl-ss now
all almonds and roses
she’s powdered and pampered
the sight of dark eyes
igniting a screen
scorching a screen

[aurora’s men]
look at her radiance
see how she glows
look at her silken cheeks
pink as a rose

tell us your secret, ma’am
tell us, please do
what is this happiness
shining from you?

[aurora]
so
you want to know?
why, i’m aglow
oh…

last night, i went to see the gypsy
and ah, the things she had to say
she told me i would meet a stranger
a lean, handsome hero who’d sweep in and sweep me away

i sat there, trembling at her table
and smelled the incense in the air
“some day, you’ll hear a cry,” she told me
“a sharp, piercing sound, and when you look around
the love of your life will be there.”

{instrumental]

[aurora]
“i cannot tell you how you’ll meet him
or when you’ll meet your love or where
but soon you’ll hear that cry,” she told me
“and you’ll look around—”

[aurora’s men]
you’ll look around

[aurora]
at that sharp piercing

[aurora’s men]
sharp piercing
sharp piercing
sharp piercing
sharp piercing!
