We Kiss In A Shadow - 1951 - The King And I

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 23 Nov 2001

[Cue Tuptim: 'Pretend you wait for her.']
[Lun Tha: 'If only we could stop pretending.']

[Lun Tha sings:] We kiss in a shadow
we hide from the moon,
our meetings are few and over too soon.
We speak in a whisper, afraid to be heard;
when people are near, we speak not a word.
Alone in our secret, together we sigh
for one smiling day to be free,
to kiss in the sunlight
and say to the sky:
Behold and believe what you see!
Behold how my lover loves me!

[Lun Tha: 'Tuptim, where can we meet? When?]
[Tuptim: It is not possible.
We cannot meet alone ever not ever.']
[Tuptim sings:] We speak in a whisper.
afraid to be heard;
when people are near we speak not a word.
[Lun Tha:] Alone in our secret,
together we sigh
for one smiling day to be free,
[Tuptim and Lun Tha together:]
To kiss in the sunlight
and say to the sky:
Behold and believe what you see!
Behold how my lover loves me!

[After applause, Tuptim and Lun That
furtively embrace. Lady Thiang enters
unseen, observes lovers and goes off.]

[As Tuptim suddenly breaks away]
[Lun Tha: 'What is it?]

[Dialogue]

[Tuptim to Lun Tha: Please go! Please go!]
[Lun Tha exits]

[Tuptim sings alone:]
To kiss in the sunlight
and say to the sky:
Behold and believe what you see!
Behold how my lover loves me!
