Forever Beautiful (《战妆》音乐剧插曲) - Patti LuPone[00:00:00]
Written by:Scott Frankel/Michael Korie[00:00:00]
These portraits[00:00:00]
They trap me in amber[00:00:02]
They will not age[00:00:05]
They will live forever[00:00:07]
My Dali dear[00:00:10]
That mad surrealist[00:00:12]
He made me beautiful[00:00:14]
Forever Beautiful[00:00:16]
My eyes like gems[00:00:19]
Notice please each tiny lash[00:00:20]
Would you believe he[00:00:23]
Painted with his own mustache[00:00:24]
Raoul Dufy[00:00:31]
A brilliant colorist[00:00:33]
He made me beautiful[00:00:36]
Forever Beautiful[00:00:38]
A few deft strokes[00:00:40]
Poppy red and iris blue[00:00:42]
In my small way[00:00:44]
I do know something of this too[00:00:45]
Made women glorious[00:00:51]
Made women glamorous[00:00:54]
Used all my art[00:00:56]
To halt the march of time[00:00:57]
I slowed it down a bit[00:01:00]
There is no stopping it[00:01:02]
But in a painting[00:01:05]
It is always your prime[00:01:06]
Right[00:01:10]
Tamara de Lempicka[00:01:12]
She was bisexual[00:01:14]
You see her love for me[00:01:16]
But it's sub textual[00:01:18]
My lifelong fight[00:01:21]
Is to keep my figure trim[00:01:22]
But now I eat[00:01:25]
'Cause Giacometti keeps me slim[00:01:26]
Seven guest rooms[00:01:31]
When was the last time[00:01:32]
She even had a visitor[00:01:33]
She's old and scared[00:01:34]
Wouldn't you be[00:01:36]
Good go then you money men[00:01:37]
I read your beady eyes[00:01:41]
'Vain old lady all alone[00:01:44]
In bed until she dies'[00:01:48]
I admit[00:01:51]
I am a little bit afraid to meet death[00:01:53]
But with brilliant eye for art[00:01:59]
When I depart[00:02:03]
I'll cheat death[00:02:05]
With my Picasso[00:02:08]
His early cubist years[00:02:10]
I posed no clothes with him[00:02:12]
Thank God who knows with him[00:02:14]
He says 'Your ears[00:02:16]
Are like elephant in size'[00:02:18]
I say from you well[00:02:20]
Who can tell from ears or eyes[00:02:22]
When I was girl of eight[00:02:27]
My papa sneered at me[00:02:29]
A plainer face he'd never seen before[00:02:32]
I said to hell with fate[00:02:36]
I'll mold my destiny[00:02:38]
Packed my satchel[00:02:40]
And walked right out the door[00:02:41]
From discontented life[00:02:44]
Without a cent I was[00:02:46]
Became a name[00:02:48]
The world could not ignore[00:02:49]
I reinvent my life[00:02:52]
As every artist does[00:02:54]
I had nothing[00:02:56]
I knew nothing[00:02:57]
I only know[00:02:59]
There must be something more[00:03:00]
So much more[00:03:05]
Look at them all[00:03:08]
Their light will never dim[00:03:10]
If death should come for me[00:03:12]
They bar the door on him[00:03:14]
Though flesh may fade[00:03:16]
Canvas lives immortally[00:03:18]
And there I'll hang[00:03:20]
From now through all eternity[00:03:22]
Who gives a d**n[00:03:24]
No children visit me[00:03:27]
These are my progeny[00:03:29]
Each an exquisite me[00:03:31]
Who says I'm old[00:03:33]
I look at my life so far[00:03:34]
And I am beautiful[00:03:37]
And I feel beautiful[00:03:39]
Forever beautiful[00:03:41]
When you feel beautiful[00:03:43]
You are[00:03:47]
