Soon [Act One]

Soon, I promise
Soon I won't shy away
Dear, old...
Soon
I want to
Soon, whatever you say

Even now
When you're close and we touch
And you're kissing my brow
I don't mind it too much

And you'll have to admit I'm endearing
I help keep things humming
I'm not domineering
What's one small shortcoming?

And think of how I adore you?
Think of how much you love me
If I were perfect for you
Wouldn't you tire of me?
Soon
All too soon
Dear, old...

Henrik!
That racket
Your father's sleeping!

Soon (later)
I promise (when is later?)
Soon (later)
I won't shy away (Henrik, later. All you ever hear is yes, we know Henrik, go Henrik)
Dear, old- (everyone agrees, Henrik, please Henrik)
Soon (later. Now as the-)
I'll want to (-sweet imbecilities-)
Soon (trip in my trousers)
Whatever you say (Henrik later as I've often stated)
Even now (maybe soon. Later)
When we're close
And we touch (I'll be 90 and dead)
And you're kissing my brow (when I'm stroking your hair)
I don't mind it too much (you'll come into my bed)
And you have to admit
I'm endearing (I've been hearing)
I help keep things humming (for those tremulous cries)
I'm not domineering (patiently, not interfering)
What's one small shortcoming? (with those tremulous thighs)
And think of how I adore you (soon, now)
Think of how much you love me (soon, now)
If I were perfect for you (soon, now)
Wouldn't you tire of me? (soon, now)
Later (come to me soon, if I'm dead)
We will later (I can wait, how can I)
We will soon! (Live until later)
I still want and, or, love you (later)
Soon
Now as always (later)
Now
Desiree
