The Company - Vivez! lyrics

[MARGUERITE] Vivez! Mes amis, je suis enchantée simply to move through the sunlight. Open your eyes to this one bright moment embracing us. Vivez! You have one life, let it be gay. [PERCY] Shouldn't one do as one's told to? [MARGUERITE] No! Let the moment enfold you. Grab up your one golden chance. Darlings, life is such romance. Give this world a sweeping glance - let it set your soul a-dancing night and day! Vivez! Live! Here's to life! Let us be gay! [PERCY] Let go of each inhibition! [MARGUERITE] No one need give you permission! What are you waiting for? [LADY DIGBY or LADY LLEWELLYN] Vivez! [PERCY] Live! [LADY DIGBY or LADY LLEWELLYN] No one lets loose ev'ry which way! [PERCY] Life is too short to be guarded! [LADY DIGBY or LADY LLEWELLYN] I think I'm quite open-hearted. [MARGUERITE] Loosen that heart if you dare. Come and lay your pa**ions bare! [LADY DIGBY or LADY LLEWELLYN] But, my dear, if people stare - [MARGUERITE] Then it's time to let your hair come tumbling down! [LADY DIGBY or LADY LLEWELLYN] What of propriety? There are rules we obey in society. [MARGUERITE] You prefer to live calmly and quietly? [LADY DIGBY or LADY LLEWELLYN] Yes! [MARGUERITE] But your heart wants to play! [MARGUERITE and PERCY] These tender hearts of ours may be endlessly naive, [PERCY] but we grow strong if we believe! [MARGUERITE and PERCY] This fragile world of ours spins us off into the storm - hold on to me and I'll be warm! [LADY DIGBY and LADY LLEWELLYN] Winnifred, what to do? Well, Davina, we simply must muddle through. If there's no one to shudder and sputter to, then we might as well live! [MARGUERITE, PERCY, LADIES D & L, COMPANY] Vivez! You have one life let it be gay. Don't put it off 'til you're dying - now is the time to be flying! [MARGUERITE] Grap up your one golden chance! Darlings, life is such romance! [COMPANY] Vivez maintenant! Come dance! [MARGUERITE] Life is tossing you a new bouquet! Meet your heart halfway, [COMPANY] and your heart will say: vivez!
