Quartet at the Ballet Lyrics by Christy Altomare, Derek Klena, Mary Beth Peil, Ramin Karimloo

Anastasia (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2017

[ANYA]
Can this be the evening?
Can this be the place?
Am I only dreaming looking at her face?
Everything I've wanted
Suddenly so clear!
My past and my future so near...
[DMITRY]
Next to me this frightened girl
Holding tight as the dancers whirl
Keep your nerve and see this through
It's what you've come to do...
[THE DOWAGER EMPRESS]
See that girl
Could it be...
(spoken)
Don't be ridiculous!
(singing)
I refuse to dream
I refuse to hope
I must stop believing
I will ever find her...
[GLEB]
She's near at hand yet here I stand
My heart and mind at war...
The times must change, the world must change
And love is not what revolution's for...
[DMITRY & GLEB]
Someone holds her safe and warm
Someone rescues her from the storm
Simple things but one thing's clear:
It's fate that brought us here...
[ANYA & DOWAGER EMPRESS, DIMITRY, GLEB, DIMITRY & GLEB]
Painted wings (Home, love) (Simple things)
Silver snow (Fam'ly) (Simple things!)
Whirling like a ballet (She will have) (And whatever I)
(All of it!) (Have to do I will)
Things my heart (I will) (Simple how)
Yearns to know (help her) (Simple men)
Find a way... (Find a way...)
[ALL]
Anastasia!
