Sonya & Natasha

Sonya & Natasha - Brittain Ashford/Denée Benton

Written by：Dave Malloy

How was it I noticed nothing

How could it go so far

It can't be that she loves him

It can't be

Natasha

Sonya you're back

And with the tender resolve

That often comes at the moment of awakening

I embraced my friend

But noticing Sonya's look of embarrassment

My face expressed confusion

And suspicion

Sonya you've read the letter

Yes

Oh Sonya I'm glad

I can't hide it any longer

Now you know we love one another

Oh Sonya he writes he writes

He writes he writes he writes

And Andrey

Oh Sonya if you only knew how happy I am

You don't know what love is

But Natasha can that all be over

I do not grasp the question

Are you refusing prince Andrey

Oh you don't understand anything

Don't talk nonsense just listen

But I can't believe it I don't understand

How you loved one man a whole year

And suddenly

You've only known him three days

Natasha you're joking

Three days

It seems to me I've loved him a hundred years

It seems to me I've never loved anyone before

Not like this

I have no will

My life is his

I'll do anything he wants me to

What can I do

Sonya what can I do

I'm so happy

And so frightened

Why can't you understand

I love him

Then I won't let it come to that I shall tell

Bursting into tears

What do you mean

For god's sake if you tell you are my enemy

You want me to be miserable

You want to tear us apart

For god's sake Sonya don't tell anyone don't torture me

I have confided in you

What has happened between you

What has he said to you

Why doesn't he come to the house and openly ask for your hand

Why this secrecy

Have you thought what his secret reasons may be

I don't know what the reasons are

But there must be reasons

Sonya one can't doubt him

Does he love you

Does he love me

Why you've read his letter you've seen him

I can't live without him

Natasha think of our family

And think of prince Andrey

Andrey said I was free to refuse him

But you haven't refused him or have you

Perhaps I have

Perhaps all is over between me and Bolkonsky

Would you think so badly of me

I won't succumb to your tender tone Natasha

I don't trust him Natasha

I'm afraid for you Natasha

Afraid you are going to your ruin

Then I'll go to my ruin yes I will as soon as possible

But it's not your business

It won't be you it'll be me who'll suffer

Leave me alone yes leave me alone

I hate you Sonya

I hate you Sonya

I hate you I hate you

You're my enemy forever

I burst into sobs

And without a moment's reflection

I wrote the answer to princess Mary

I'd been unable to write all morning

All our misunderstandings are at an end

Forget everything and forgive me

But I can't be Andrey's wife
