original london cast of marguerite - waiting lyrics

[armand]
she said she’d come at four, has she forgotten?
i’ve thought of nothing else this endless day
perhaps she is regretting the moment when she kissed me
the moment of surrender…

or was it all a sport for her amus-m-nt?
a heartless little game some women play?
how can she have forgotten?
she made me feel she meant it
how can she not remember?

waiting, all my life, a kind of waiting
never sure why i was waiting
now i know i waited for her
before her, my days went round and round
now i know where i belong
now i see a different way
now i hear a different song
i woke at your kiss, i came at your call
the first wound of love cuts deepest of all
so deep and so sweet
who are you, what are you, marguerite?

[marguerite]
why did i say i’d come?
what was i thinking?
i have too much to lose to lose my head
romance is for beginners
for waitresses and shop-girls
they need a happy ending

be careful, marguerite
think what you’re risking
the boy’s too high a price for you to pay
a juvenile distraction
a momentary madness
a game of just pretending

i have waited for all my lifetime
i would have given all my life to find you
you come now to save me, my prince in shining armour
you tell yourself our story has begun
i know already how it ends
how soon it’s done
my hopes are lost beyond recall
you come all too late
too late to tell a different story, and save the china doll
do not hope, dear armand
do not wait, believe me
what you ask for is forbidden
what you ask for can’t be given
the years will p-ss

[armand]
waiting, all my life, a kind of waiting
never sure why i was waiting
now i know i’ve waited for her
before her, my days went round and round
now i know where i belong
now i see a different way
now i hear a different song
i woke at your kiss, i came at your call
the first wound of love cuts deepest of all
so deep and so sweet
who are you, what are you, marguerite?
waiting, all my life, a kind of waiting
marguerite i’ve waited for you
was it all in vain?

[marguerite and armand]
past hoping, past wishing, past waiting
