Dave Malloy - The Ball lyrics

[ANATOLE] Waiting at the door, Waiting at the door, Waiting Waiting at the door, Waiting at the door, Waiting Waiting at the door, Waiting at the door, Waiting And there she is [NATASHA] I am seized by feelings of vanity and fear There is no barrier between us Whispers and moans and ringing in my ear There is no barrier between us Divine, delicious But I do not see or hear anything I'm borne away to a senseless world So strange, so remote I don't know good from bad Anatole, Anatole, I'm so frightened [ANATOLE] You are enchanting [NATASHA] And as we danced he pressed My waist and hand And told me I was [NATASHA & ANATOLE] Bewitching [ANATOLE] And I love you [NATASHA & ANATOLE] Bewitching [ANATOLE] And I love you [NATASHA] And during the ecossaise, he [NATASHA & ANATOLE] Gazed in my eyes [NATASHA] And said nothing, Just [NATASHA & ANATOLE] Gazed in my eyes [NATASHA] My frightened eyes Such confident tenderness I could not say what I had to say [ANATOLE] Don't lower your eyes, I love you I am in love, dear I am in love Gaze in my eyes, I love you You are bewitching What can I do, Darling, what can I do? [NATASHA] Don't say such things, I am betrothed I love another [ANATOLE] Don't speak to me of that When I tell you I Am madly, madly, in love with you! Is it my fault that you're enchanting? [NATASHA] I'm so frightened I don't understand anything tonight [ANATOLE] I'm here now Natalie! [NATASHA] I can feel your eyes upon me [ANATOLE] Blocking her path, I bring her face close to mine [NATASHA] His large, glittering, masculine eyes Are so close to mine That I see nothing else [ANATOLE] Is it possible that I should never see you again? I love you madly! Can I never? Natalie? [NATASHA] You press my arm You press my arm [ANATOLE] Natalie? [NATASHA] You're hurting my hands [ANATOLE] Natalie? [NATASHA] I don't understand I have nothing to say [THEY KISS] [NATASHA] Burning lips press to mine Tell me what just happened I'm trembling So frightening Andrey But I love you Of that there is no doubt How else could all of this have happened? How else could we have kissed? It means that I have loved you from the first It means that you are kind, noble, and splendid And I could not help loving you I will love you, Anatole I'll do anything for you [NATASHA & ANATOLE] I'll do anything for you
