John Kander — Her Name is Aurora

[MOLINA] (spoken) Aurora, help me I need you Come to me like you always have [MOLINA] (sung) Her name is Aurora And she is so beautiful No man who has met her Can ever forget her They're madly in love Forever in love I see her so clearly I know her so well She steps to her glass now All almonds and roses She's powdered and pampered The sight of dark eyes Igniting a screen Scorching a screen [AURORA'S MEN] Look at her radiance See how she glows Look at her silken cheeks Pink as a rose Tell us your secret, ma'am Tell us, please do What is this happiness Shining from you? [AURORA] So You want to know? Why, I'm aglow Oh... Last night, I went to see the gypsy And ah, the things she had to say She told me I would meet a stranger A lean, handsome hero who'd sweep in and sweep me away I sat there, trembling at her table And smelled the incense in the air "Some day, you'll hear a cry," she told me "A sharp, piercing sound, and when you look around The love of your life will be there." {INSTRUMENTAL] [AURORA] "I cannot tell you how you'll meet him Or when you'll meet your love or where But soon you'll hear that cry," she told me "And you'll look around---" [AURORA'S MEN] You'll look around [AURORA] At that sharp piercing [AURORA'S MEN] Sharp piercing Sharp piercing Sharp piercing Sharp piercing!
