stephen sondheim - i wish i could forget you lyrics

Loading...

[giorgio, spoken]
fosca, it will be light soon, i should be going

[fosca, spoken]
would you do me a great favor before you leave?
would you write a letter for me?

[giorgio, spoken]
certainly

[fosca, spoken]
my dearest fosca…

(giorgio stops writing and looks at her, annoyed.)

please

(giorgio resumes writing.)

[giorgio, spoken]
“my dearest fosca”

[fosca]
i wish i could forget you
erase you from my mind
but ever since i met you
i find, i cannot leave the thought of you behind
that doesn’t mean i love you…

[giorgio]
that doesn’t mean i love you…

[fosca]
i wish that i could love you…

i know that i’ve upset you
i know i’ve been unkind
i wanted you to vanish from sight
but now i see you in a different light
and though i cannot love you
i wish that i could love you

for now i’m seeing love
like none i’ve ever known
a love as pure as breath, as permanent as death
implacable as stone
a love that, like a knife, has cut into a life
i wanted left alone
a love i may regret
but one i can’t forget

i don’t know how i let you
so far inside my mind
but there you are and there you will stay
how could i ever wish you away?
i see now i was blind
and should you die tomorrow
another thing i see:
your love will live in me

(spoken)
i remain… your giorgio

(giorgio signs the letter and blots it.)
