Stay, I Pray You Lyrics by Derek Klena, John Bolton, Christy Altomare, The Original Broadway Cast of Anastasia

Anastasia (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2017

[COUNT IPOLITOV]
How can I desert you?
How to tell you why?
Coachmen, hold the horses
Stay, I pray you
Let me have a moment
Let me say goodbye
To bridge and river, forest, and waterfall
Orchard, sea, and sky
Harsh and sweet and bitter to leave it all
[COUNT IPOLITOV & ENSEMBLE]
I'll bless my homeland 'til I die
How to break the tie?
We have shed our tears
And shared our sorrows
Though the scars remain
And tears will never dry
I'll bless my homeland 'til I die
[ANYA]
Never to return
[DMITRY]
Finally breaking free
[ANYA & DMITRY]
You are all I know
You have raised me
[VLAD]
How to turn away?
How to close the door?
[ANYA, DMITRY & VLAD]
How to go where I have never gone before?
[ALL]
How can I desert you
How to tell you why?
Coachmen, hold the horses
Stay, I pray you
Let me have a moment
Let me say goodbye
[COUNT IPOLITOV]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[COUNT IPOLITOV & ENSEMBLE]
Ah-ah-ah
[ALL]
Harsh and sweet and bitter to leave it all
I'll bless my homeland 'til I die
[ANYA, DMITRY & VLAD]
I'll bless my homeland
[ANYA & DMITRY]
I'll bless my homeland
[ANYA]
I'll bless my homeland 'til I die
