Lovelier Than Ever
[SIR FRANCIS]
'Twas a bright blue sky
And the lark sang high
On a bough that was blossom-laden
And I had my eye on a very pretty maiden

[DONNA LUCIA]
'Twas a perfect day
In the month of May
And sun was a blazing yellow

[DONNA LUCIA, spoken]
Remember?

[SIR FRANCIS, spoken]
I do

[DONNA LUCIA]
And I had my eye on a certain handsome fellow

[SIR FRANCIS]
The lady they call Springtime
All but swept me off my feet

[DONNA LUCIA]
She filled my heart with promises
Extravagant and sweet
[DONNA LUCIA & SIR FRANCIS]
And now, again, we meet

[DONNA LUCIA, spoken]
She hasn't changed a bit

[SIR FRANCIS, spoken]
No

[DONNA LUCIA]
Springtime
You're looking lovelier than ever
Lovelier than ever bеfore
Still irresistible in thе same old gown of green
Still irresistible as that lilac-scented scene
When I was seventeen

Springtime
You haven't changed your way of whispering
Whispering that romance lies in store
Springtime
You're being devastatingly clever
And lovelier than ever before

[SIR FRANCIS & ENSEMBLE]
Springtime
You haven't changed your way of whispering
Whispering that romance lies in store
[DONNA LUCIA & ENSEMBLE]
You're being devastatingly clever

[SIR FRANCIS & ENSEMBLE]
And lovelier than ever before

[DONNA LUCIA]
Springtime
You're being devastatingly clever

[DONNA LUCIA & SIR FRANCIS]
And lovelier than ever before
