original broadway cast - when the music played - doctor zhivago lyrics

[lara]
i was young
i was poor
life was harsh and unsure
but a fatherless girl can’t complain
then my fate changed by chance
with an innocent dance
with a man who was older
and richer and bolder
a man with a taste for champagne
and girls like me
too blinded to see…

but when the music played
the world would fade away
and i’d sail ‘cross the floor
caring less, wanting more
when the music played
somehow my soul obeyed
heaven would be whispering my name
when the music played

so i gave and he took
with a word, with a look
i was captured inside of his game
there i was still a girl
in the devil’s own world
but a girl who was older
and wiser and colder
a girl who felt hunger… and shame
yes, i served like a slave
sins i’ll take to my grave…

but when the music played
the world would fade away
and i’d sail ‘cross the floor
caring less, wanting more
when the music played
somehow my soul obeyed
heaven only knows what i became
when the music played

and i hated him…
and i wanted him…
and i met with him more than i should
and it frightened me
how he’d hold me, like he owned me
i said: “stay away”
but he wouldn’t
oh god, “stay away”
but i couldn’t
i had to end it, i had to live
can you forgive me?
put the pain aside
put the past away
look into my eyes…

and let the music play
yesterdays fade away
to a world we restore
wanting less, caring more
let the music play
for who we are today
let me hear you whispering my name
when the music plays
when the music plays
when the music plays
