Dear One Lyrics by John Kander

Kiss of the Spider Woman (Original Cast Recording)

0

[MOTHER]
Dear one
No, I don't think about you
Dear one
I do nicely without you

Dear one
Say that over and over
Keep repeating it as the days go by

[MARTA/MOTHER]
Dear one
Nothing warm is denied me (Dear one)
Dear one
I don't miss you inside me (Dear one)

[BOTH]
Dear one
Say that over and over
Keep repeating it as the days go by
And someday you'll believe the lie

[VALENTIN/MARTA/MOTHER]
Dear one
I am through with crusading (Dear one)
Dear one
All my anger is fading (Dear one)

[VALENTIN/MARTA]
Dear one
Say that over and over
Keep repeating it as the hours fly

[MOLINA/MOTHER]
Dear one, (No, I don't think about you)
I don't see you crocheting (I do nicely without you)

[MOLINA/MARTA/VALENTIN]
Dear one, (Nothing warm is denied me) (Dear one)
I can't hear what you're saying (I don't miss you inside me)

[VALENTIN/MOTHER]
Dear one

[MOLINA/MOTHER/VALENTIN/MARTA]
Say that over and over (Dear one)
(Say that over and over)
Keep repeating it (Keep repeating)
As the days go by (As the hours fly)

[VALENTIN]
And someday

[MOTHER]
Someday

[MOLINA]
Maybe

[MARTA]
Maybe
You'll believe

[MOLINA/VALENTIN/MOTHER]
You'll believe

[ALL]
The lie
