Trio

[FOSCA]
I am writing to you, Signora
Just as soon as I've arrived
With a most unhappy heart

I do not wish
To cause you pain
So please consider what I say
With calm

My heart

My heart belongs

My heart belongs to someone else

I am in love
Hopelessly in love
Hopelessly in love
And am loved
Hopelessly in turn, Signora
You and I
We're not meant for each other
If I seemed to imply
Something more
I apologize
But since we're forced to be together
Let us try to face the fact

Let us both behave with tact
If this letter seems cold-hearted
It conceals my own distress
Nonetheless
We must end what never started

You must recognize

There is nothing between us

Nothing

Nothing
Nothing

[GIORGIO]
God
You are so beautiful
As I remember every night
Clear and beautiful
Every night, every day
Every part of you

[CLARA]
You feel so good

As if you'd never been away

Your breath so warm
Your touch so sure

[GIORGIO]
Your skin so delicate

[CLARA]
Your arms so strong

[CLARA & GIORGIO]
All this happiness
Being here with you in the dark
So much happiness
Even more than what I felt before!
To feel your touch again
When so much time has passed
To dream of you and then
To be with you again
And have some time at last

How long were we apart
A month, a week, a day?

To feel your touch again

You've never been away

[CLARA]
Still, I've missed you

So much

[GIORGIO]
I'm here now

[CLARA]
Welcome home
