Soon

Lyrics

[ANNE] Soon, I promise Soon I won't shy away Dear old— Soon, I want to Soon, whatever you say Even now When you're close and we touch And you're kissing my brow I don't mind it too much And you'll have to admit I'm endearing I help keep things humming I'm not domineering What's one small shortcoming? And think of how I adore you Think of how much you love me If I were perfect for you Wouldn't you tire of me Soon All too soon Dear old—? (spoken) Henrik! That racket! Your father's sleeping. Later.  (sung) Soon [HENRIK] "Later"... [ANNE] I promise [HENRIK] When is "Later"? [ANNE] Soon [HENRIK] "Later, Henrik, later" [ANNE] I won't shy away [HENRIK] All you ever hear is "Yes, we know, Henrik Oh, Henrik Everyone agrees, Henrik" [ANNE] Dear old— [HENRIK] "Please, Henrik!" [ANNE] Soon [FREDRIK] Now, as the sweet imbecilities [HENRIK] "Later"... [ANNE] I want too [HENRIK] When is "later"? All you ever hear is [ANNE] Soon [FREDRIK] Trip on my trouser leg Stendhal [HENRIK] "Later, Henrik, later" [ANNE] Whatever you [HENRIK] As I've often stated: [FREDRIK] Eliminates A, but when? [ANNE] Say [HENRIK] When? [ANNE] Even [HENRIK & FREDRIK] Maybe [ANNE] Now [HENRIK] Soon [FREDRIK] Later [ANNE] When you're close and we touch [HENRIK] Soon I'll be ninety and dead [ANNE] And you're kissing my brow [FREDRIK] When I'm kissing your brow And I'm stroking your head [ANNE & HENRIK] I don't mind it too much [FREDRIK] You'll come into my bed [ANNE & FREDRIK] And you'll have to admit [HENRIK] Since I have to admit [ANNE] I'm endearing [FREDRIK] I've been hearing [HENRIK] I find peering [ANNE] I help keep things humming [FREDRIK] All those tremulous cries [HENRIK] Through life's gray windows impatiently [ANNE] I'm not domineering [FREDRIK] Patiently, not [HENRIK] Not very cheering [ANNE] What's one small shortcoming? [FREDRIK] Interfering with those tremulous thighs [HENRIK] Do I fear death? Let it [ANNE] And [FREDRIK & HENRIK] Come to me [ANNE] Think of how I adore you [FREDRIK] Soon [HENRIK] Now [ANNE] Think of how much you love me [FREDRIK] Soon [HENRIK] Now [ANNE] If I were perfect for you [FREDRIK] Soon [HENRIK] Now [ANNE] Wouldn't you tire of me [FREDRIK] Soon [HENRIK] Now [ANNE] Later? [FREDRIK & HENRIK] Come to me soon [HENRIK] If I'm dead, I can wait [ANNE] We will, later [FREDRIK] Straight to me Never mind how [HENRIK] How can I [ANNE] We will... [HENRIK] Live until [FREDRIK] Darling [ANNE] Soon [HENRIK] Later [FREDRIK] Now I still want and/or love you [HENRIK] Later... [ANNE] Soon [FREDRIK] Now as always [HENRIK] Later... [ANNE] Soon [FREDRIK] Now, Desiree
