"In Many Rooms In The House At Pau" lyrics - ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER

[ROSE]
This is what I ought to feel on stage
Soaring up like snow-capped mountains
I feel your beauty and your rage
I could be those tumbling forests
I could play those jagged hillsides
Star of mountain
Star of valley

[ALEX]
Would Madam care for breakfast?
Will croissants and fresh coffee do?
Wonderful view!
Whenever we see those mountains
We will think of me and you

George insists on magnificent views

[ROSE]
I think I should like your uncle

[Spoken:]
Alex, she's beautiful. Who is she?

[ALEX, spoken]
My aunt Delia. She was an actress too

[ROSE, spoken]
Delia! Was she famous?

[ALEX, spoken]
Yes. But she died very young. That's why my uncle doesn't come down here very often. There are too many memories

[ROSE, spoken]
Haven't I seen that somewhere before?

[ALEX, spoken]
Not the one you're thinking of. That's in the Louvre. George did that one. Some people call it fraud, but he prefers to think of it as a tribute

[ALEX, spoken]
(Brandishing a rapier)
En garde!

[ROSE, spoken]
(Parrying with a tennis racket)
Fifteen love!

[BOTH]
Promise me today will never ever end!

[ROSE, spoken]
(Pulling out various tins)
Caviar! Anchovies! Peaches in brandy! We can have a banquet tonight!

[ALEX, spoken]
When he does get down here, George doesn't believe in having to rough it

[BOTH]
I could get to like it here!
Let's not ever think of leaving!

[ALEX, spoken]
Look at this. Pierrot! Carmen!
For the ballroom? Or the bedroom?

[ROSE, spoken]
Merimee, "L'Occasion". I know this- it's a wonderful play!

[ALEX, spoken]
Really?

[ROSE, spoken]
Let's do it

[ALEX, spoken]
But I don't know anything about the theatre

[ROSE, spoken]
I'll teach you. We'll do it tonight

[ROSE]
This one is gorgeous

He must have loved her so much
I can just see her
I feel I know her

[ALEX]
It was her favorite dress
Rose, leave things as they are
