All For Laura - Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Original London Cast Of 'The Woman In White', Maria Friedman

Inner voices

Keeping me awake

Will I ever sleep again

Reassessing

Everything I’ve done

Choices that I can’t explain

All for Laura

This is what I prayed

All for Laura

Have I betrayed you?

With our old life

Ever out of reach

Look at what I’ve led you to

God forgive me

Look at what I’ve done

Look how I protected you

All for Laura

Shouldn’t I have known?

I know one thing

We are alone now

I sent away the man

The man that we could trust

The only man that we both love

All for Laura

Was it really you

Who I was thinking of?

All for Laura

But at the start

Were you foremost in my heart?

All for Laura

That’s how I’ll live

Till I save you

Till you forgive me

I’ll dedicate my life

I swear upon my soul

I’ll find a way to set you free

All for Laura

Till my dying breath

Long as you’re in need of me

I will somehow

Learn to be strong

I will live

To right

This wrong

(Anne Catherick appears behind her and overhears what she says)

I will help you

Oh!

I can help you both

He must never win again

It’s you!

I can trust you

And I have a way

We can stop this evil man

It’s amazing

I see her face!

I have come here

To save your sister

Oh, thank you!

Tomorrow, at this time

Bring her here to me

But promise that you’ll be alone

I’ve a secret

And when it is told

It will surely bring him down

Tell me now, please!

Only for Laura…

(Anne disappears.)

(Suddenly Fosco appears. Marian jumps.)

Miss Halcombe!

Forgive me.

I didn’t mean to startle you.

I saw your room was

empty: I thought, you must be out here counting your English sheep!

Dico bene?

I couldn’t sleep

Wandering about in the dark—and without the aid of a coat!

Tut, tut.

You English ladies are so reckless with your midnight flitting!

You must allow me to accompany you home

Oh, really, there’s no need

You’re shivering, Miss Halcombe.

Per piacere—take my arm

Thank you

(They leave together)
