All for Laura - Lyrics
А вот текст полюбившейся мне All for Laura. Эту песню исполняет Мэрайан в финале первого акта, когда понимает, что виновата в страданиях Лоры, что благодаря ее стараниям она замужем за жестоким человеком, благодаря ей же уехал Уолтер, все пропало, надо спасать сестру.
Hear the voices, keeping me awake,
Will I never sleep again?
Re-assessing 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 let you do.
God forgive me,
Look at what I've done - look how I've 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 first in my heart?
