Stay, I Pray You

(álbum: Anastasia (Original Broadway Cast Recording) - 2017)

[Count Ipolitov:]
How can I desert you?
How to tell you why?
Coachmen, hold the horses
Stay, I pray you
Let me have a moment
Let me say goodbye

To bridge and river
Forest and waterfall
Orchard, sea, and sky
Harsh and sweet and bitter to leave it all
I'll bless my homeland till I die

How to break the tie?
We have shared our tears
And shared our sorrows
Though the scars remain
And tears will never dry
I'll bless my homeland till I die

[Anya:]
Never to return

[Dmitry:]
Finally breaking free

[Anya & Dmitry:]
You are all I know
You have raised me

[Vlad:]
How to turn away?
How to close the door?

[Anya, Dmitry & Vlad:]
How to go where I have never gone before?

[All:]
How can I desert you
How to tell you why?
Coachmen, hold the horses
Stay, I pray you
Let me have a moment
Let me say goodbye

[Count Ipolitov:]
Aah (Ooh)
Aah (Ooh)

[All:]
Harsh and sweet and bitter to leave it all
I'll bless my homeland till I die

[Anya, Dmitry and Vlad:]
I'll bless my homeland

[Anya and Dmitry:]
I'll bless my homeland

[Anya:]
I'll bless my homeland till I die
