Sonya Alone
The Great Comet Original Cast Lyrics

Hard as it is
Even though it's difficult

In the coming days
As time goes on

I watch my friend in her strange unnatural state
I observe my friend's unusual behavior

Don't let her out of my sight
I don't let her leave my field of view

She trails off, stares at nothing
She becomes unfocused and looks at nothing in particular

Laughs at random
She laughs without an obvious reason

and the letters come
She receives letters

She waits at the window
She stands by the window waiting

and I listen at the door
I stand by the door listening

Until one day I see by the sad look on her face
Eventually I notice the sadness on her face

That there is a dreadful plan in her heart
She has a terrible plan in mind

I know you are capable of anything
I acknowledge your potential to do anything

I know you so well my friend
I know you intimately, my friend

I know you might just run away
I understand that you may flee

What am I to do?
I'm unsure of what to do

Who do I ask for help?
I don't know who to turn to for assistance

Is it all on me? Is it all on me?
Am I the only one who can solve this? Am I the only one?

I will stand in the dark for you
I'll wait outside your door in the dark

I will hold you back by force
I will physically stop you

I won't see you disgraced
I don't want you to be humiliated

I will protect your name and your heart
I will safeguard your reputation and your feelings

Because I miss my friend
Because I long for my friend

I know you've forgotten me
I realize that you have forgotten about me

But I won't let you
But I won't permit you

It's all on me
The responsibility is mine

And I remember this family,
I recall this family,

I remember your kindness,
I reflect on your compassion,

And if I never sleep again
Even if I never sleep again

Because I miss my friend
Because I miss my friend

Because I miss you,
Because I miss you,

my friend.
my friend.
