The Ball Lyrics by Denée Benton, Lucas Steele

Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2017

[ANATOLE]
Waiting at the door
Waiting at the door, waiting
Waiting at the door
Waiting at the door, waiting
Oh, how I adore little girls
They lose their heads at once!
(The ball begins; they dance.)
[NATASHA]
I am seized by feelings of vanity and fear
There is no barrier between us
Whispers and moans, and ringing in my ear
There is no barrier between us
Divine, delicious, but I do not see or hear anything
I'm borne away to a senseless world
So strange, so remote
I don't know good from bad
Anatole
Anatole
I'm so frightened
[ANATOLE]
You are enchanting
{NATASHA]
And as we danced
He pressed my waist and hand
And told me I was
[NATASHA & ANATOLE]
Bewitching
[ANATOLE]
And I love you
[NATASHA & ANATOLE]
Bewitching
[ANATOLE]
And I love you
NATASHA
And during the ecossaise, he
NATASHA (& ANATOLE)
Gazed/(Gaze) in my eyes
NATASHA
And said nothing, just
NATASHA (& ANATOLE)
Gazed/(Gaze) in my eyes
NATASHA
My frightened eyes
Such confident tenderness
I could not say what I had to say
[ANATOLE]
Don't lower your eyes
I love you
I am in love, dear
I am in love
Gaze in my eyes
I love you
You are bewitching
What can I do
Darling, what can I do?
[NATASHA]
Don't say such things
I am betrothed
I love another
[ANATOLE]
Don't speak to me of that!
When I tell you that I am madly, madly in love with you!
Is it my fault that you're enchanting?
[NATASHA]
I'm so frightened
I don't understand anything tonight
[ANATOLE]
I'm here now
(Natasha breaks away.)
[ANATOLE]
Natalie!
[NATASHA]
I can feel your eyes upon me
[ANATOLE]
Blocking her path, I bring here face close to mine
[NATASHA]
His large, glittering, masculine eyes are so close to mine
That I see nothing else
[ANATOLE]
Is it possible that I should never see you again?
I love you madly!
Can I never?
Natalie?
[NATASHA]
You press my arm
[ANATOLE]
Natalie?
[NATASHA]
You're hurting my hands!
[ANATOLE]
Natalie?
[NATASHA]
I don't understand
I have nothing to say
(They kiss.)
[NATASHA]
Burning lips pressed to mine
Tell me what just happened
I'm trembling
So frightening
Andrey
But I love you
Of that there is no doubt
How else could all of this have happened?
How else could we have kissed?
It means that I have loved you from the first
It means that you are kind
Noble and splendid
And I could not help loving you
I will love you, Anatole
I'll do anything for you
[NATASHA & ANATOLE]
I'll do anything for you
