Don Black - In Many Rooms In The House At Pau lyrics

[ROSE] This is what I ought to feel on stage Soaring up like snow-capped mountains I feel your beauty and your rage I could be those tumbling forests I could play those jagged hillsides Star of mountain Star of valley [ALEX] Would Madam care for breakfast? Will croissants and fresh coffee do? Wonderful view! Whenever we see those mountains We will think of me and you George insists on magnificent views [ROSE] I think I should like your uncle (spoken) Alex, she's beautiful. Who is she? [ALEX, spoken] My aunt Delia. She was an actress too [ROSE, spoken] Delia! Was she famous? [ALEX, spoken] Yes. But she died very young. That's why my uncle doesn't come down here very often. There are too many memories [ROSE, spoken] Haven't I seen that somewhere before? [ALEX, spoken] Not the one you're thinking of. That's in the Louvre. George did that one. Some people call it fraud, but he prefers to think of it as a tribute [ALEX, spoken] (brandishing a rapier) En garde! [ROSE, spoken] (parrying with a tennis racket) Fifteen love! [BOTH] Promise me today will never ever end! [ROSE, spoken] (pulling out various tins) Caviar! Anchovies! Peaches in brandy! We can have a banquet tonight! [ALEX, spoken] When he does get down here, George doesn't believe in having to rough it [BOTH] I could get to like it here! Let's not ever think of leaving! [ALEX, spoken] Look at this. Pierrot! Carmen! For the ballroom? Or the bedroom? [ROSE, spoken] Mérimée, "L'Occasion". I know this- it's a wonderful play! [ALEX, spoken] Really? [ROSE, spoken] Let's do it [ALEX, spoken] But I don't know anything about the theatre [ROSE, spoken] I'll teach you. We'll do it tonight [ROSE] This one is gorgeous He must have loved her so much I can just see her I feel I know her [ALEX] It was her favorite dress Rose, leave things as they are
