The Countess And The Common Man – Caroline O’Connor & John Bolton (from “Anastasia (Original Broadway Cast Recording)” soundtrack)

[Vlad:]
Ever since that first day I saw you at court
I knew I was beneath you

[Lily:]
You were right, darling. You were

[Vlad:]
I noticed you across a room
The most exquisite rose
The tiniest tiara and
That haughty little nose
I flirted with you shamelessly

[Lily:]
Or so the scandal goes…
The Countess

[Vlad:]
And the common man
We tiptoed off to Peterhof
To have a royal fling

[Lily:]
My husband was oblivious
Counts never know a thing!

[Vlad:]
And all of it was perfect…

[Lily:]
‘Til you stole my diamond ring!

[Vlad & Lily:]
The Countess
And the common man

[Vlad:]
Cologne in the bedclothes
The pastry and wine

[Lily:]
And under the table
Your foot touching mine

[Vlad & Lily:]
And how my heart beat
When you sent me “our sign”

[Lily:]
I loved you…

[Vlad:]
You loved me
And oh, it was simply

[Vlad & Lily:]
Divine…

[Vlad:]
Who would have known
My little rose
We’re back where we began

[Lily:]
And I suppose
That you’ll propose
Another sneaky plan!
Which I’ll resist…

[Vlad:]
Until you’re kissed

[Vlad & Lily:]
For nothing’s better than…

[Lily:]
The countess

[Vlad:]
And the common man…

[Vlad & Lily:]
The countess
And the common man
