A/N: Based on "The Wizard and I" from "Wicked". Florence has saacharin daydream after "Mountain Duet". Me no get rich from this. Schwartz get rich from this. Me sad, but me prefer Tim Rice anyway. Me think Schwartz does Rice impression with lyrics, sometimes successful, sometimes not. But me digress.
Did that really just happen?
Have actually understood
those smiles and that kiss that he just gave me
mean that we could be an item,
if he's in love.
Well I'm in love!
When
he comes back with me,once
the visa's clear,
when
he comes back with me,
we'll
have no politics to fear.
And
with all his pro-west free thought,
by
my past, he won't be blinded.
Do
you think that Tolya is dumb?
Or
like Freddie so close-minded? No!
He'll
say to me "I love who truly are:
the woman for whom I would die."
And
that's how we'll begin;
Anatoly
and I.
Once
we are together,
my
whole life will change.
Cause
once you've found that someone
everything's
so strange.
My
father would be proud of me,
no
longer so ashamed,
and
all the press will be smiling
when
his citizenship's acclaimed
And
my raison d'etre - why I'm alive,
I
think at last I know why.
When
we are hand in hand;
Anatoly
and I.
Then
one day he'll say to me: "Florence dear, a
woman who is so supieror,
because
of you I find that the whole world's ulterior.
And
since the press all keep goading me,
with
all their hopes of decoding me.
Would
it be okay by you
if
I stayed always by you?"
And,
of course, that's all I wanted to hear.
"Alright.
Why not?" I'll reply.
Oh,
what a pair we'll be: Anatoly and I.
What
a pair we'll be, Anatoly and…
Unlimited.
My
love for him's unlimited.
and
this fantasy seems to me just like a prophecy.
I
know it's sounds truly crazy.
And
true, the vision's hazy.
But
I swear someday there'll be
a
child smiling in my arms -
the
child he gave to me!
And
I'll stand there with my husband,
feeling
things I've never felt.
And
though I'll keep composure
ev'ry
time he smiles I'll melt.
And
so it will be for the rest of my life,
and
love no one else till I die.
Outside I'll
keep that icy gleam,
but
inside I'll shout and scream
for
I finally found my dream:
Anatoly
and I!
