[Desiree]
Love takes time
[Charlotte]
Entirely too much, but sublime.
[Anne]
Frightening. Love is full of quicksand
[Petra]
Enlightening. Love is full of tricks, and-
[Desiree, Charlotte, Anne, Petra]
It does take time-
[Madame Armfeldt]
Which really is rather a crime.
[Fredrika]
Curious, love is
[Erich]
Self-tormenting
[Fredrik]
Embarra**ing, love is
[Carl-Magnus]
Unrelenting
[All]
A labyrinth, love is –
Just resenting
The time love takes
Compounds the confusion it makes.
[Fredrik]
One muddles the facts with the fakes.
[Desiree]
And love is a lecture on how to correct your mistakes.
[Anne]
What shall I wear?
[Charlotte]
Where is my parasol?
[Fredrik]
Do I compare?
[Carl-Magnus]
Would you dare?
[Desiree]
Have I missed it?
[?]
Will I ever?
[?]
Did he notice?
[Erich]
What will they say?
[?]
Should I care?
[Fredrik]
Must I remember it again?
[Anne]
Why can't we stay just the way-
[?]
Will I ever- Was I ever-
[?]
Can I ever-
[Madame Armfeldt (spoken)]
I have no questions.
[All]
Loves comes first
[Charlotte and Anne]
It matters the most at its worst
[Desiree]
You always feel under-rehearsed
[Carl-Magnus]
One sets the conditions
Then finds the positions
Reversed
[All]
The time love takes
Awakens the heart that it breaks
And think of the new friends it makes
Yes, love is a lecture on how to correct your mistakes
What shall I wear?
Where is my parasol?
Do I compare?
Would you dare?
Have I missed it?
Will I ever-
Did he notice? What will they say?
Why should I bother? Why should I care?
Why can't we stay just the way- Why can't I stand it ?
Will I ever-
Did I ever-
Can I ever-
How shall I sleep?
Am I my undoing?
Where were you?
Would she ever?
Did she ever?
[The questions blend into a cacophony]
[Madame Armfeldt (spoken)]
I have no answers.
I have no time.
