Just This Way lyrics
by Original Broadway Cast of Lempicka
[BARONESS]
It's the end of time
Can you stop time?
I'd like him to remember me
Just this way
Today, how the light comes in unhurried
As if it will always be a sunny April day
Can you capture this moment?
Catch me before I fall?
Your eyes, I know that piercing way you see
No sentiment, no weakness
Just let him remember me
Like this
(spoken)
My husband is a little bit in love with you
[TAMARA, spoken]
We enjoy each other's company, that's all
[BARONESS, spoken]
Take him with you when you go
[TAMARA, spoken]
You will go together
[BARONESS, spoken]
I don't need pretty lies, I need to know that you will do this!
(sung)
Despair is a luxury, we don't have time
You want to give up? I don't care
Get up off the floor, do what only you can do
Capture something small, capture something true
Just this moment, just this room
My arm resting on the chair
The light through the window
[TAMARA]
The shadow of a leaf on your hair
[BARONESS]
After I'm gone, what will remain?
My arm
[TAMARA]
Your arm
[BOTH]
Resting on the chair
[BARONESS]
The light through the window
[BOTH]
The shadow of a leaf
[TAMARA]
On your hair
[BARONESS]
Tell them once, "I was there"
Tell me now, will I be there?
I'd like him to remember me
Just this way
How the light comes in unhurried
As if it will always be this sunny April day
The light comes in sublime
The scent of Persian lime
And everything is perfect
In its way
Do you have that magic
To make a moment stay?
I'd like him to remember
Please, help him to remember
I want him to remember me
Just this way
