Woman In White Soundtrack Lyrics
- Gift for Living Well Lyrics
FOSCO
No, no, no!
I am a man
of medicine
no opera star,
(with passion) my voice is thin
Though I play cards
and violin
at none of these do I excel
The talent that
I have in spades
Is one for fun
and escapades
A gift for living well
Atracted to the lively arts
Breaking bread, breaking hearts
(He looks at Marian)
Making love, when love has me spellbound
(He takes some wine from a servant, fills his glass)
Italian food
the wines of France
I never walk when I can dance
(A small pirouhette for the ladies)
A gift for living well
A one man band
I sing the lead
Always self-accompanied
(He plays a few chords on the piano)
I concede I'm probably hellbound
A bon vivant
As you can see
A lust for life as big as... me!
A gift for living well\
F0SCO: But enough about me! Raise your glasses
(Fosco raises his glass to the bride and groom)
FOSCO: Sir Percival Glyde!
ALL: (Raising their glasses)
Oh what a joyous occasion this is
Sir Percival Glyde!
FOSCO: Dolce vita to you and your Mrs!
GLYDE: This is the moment I've longed for
MARIAN: Everything's for the best now
MR FAIRLIE: I'll have an empty nest now
ALL: And here's to the bride!
Cheers for the life they will lead now...
(Hartright suddenly interrupts the toast-addresses Sir Percival Glyde)
HARTRIGHT: Please let me speak
and forgive my interruption
Please hear me out
On a very pressing matter
One that concerns a girl
Her name is Anne, Anne Cath'rick
She says you've done her wrong
Have you an explanation?
