The Season Begins

Morning breaks across the city,

Carriages roll through golden streets.

Silk and lace, a thousand secrets,

Everybody’s here to meet.

The doors are open,

The candles

are

lit, Tonight the whole of London Is dressed for it.

Mama says, "Smile, darling,

Keep your feelings out of sight.

Find yourself a wealthy husband,

Everything will turn out right." But I don’t want a perfect stranger,

I don’t want a life that’s planned.

If I give somebody my heart,

I want to choose his hand.

Father says, "Your duty Is to carry on the name.

We’ve already found the perfect girl,

Now all you need is fame." But I don’t want some perfect

stranger, Chosen by my family’s pride.

I want someone who sees me When the title falls aside.

Here they come!

The daughters and sons!

Dressed in diamonds Beneath the evening sun!

Here they come!

The beautiful ones! Looking for forever Before the night is done!

The season begins! Let the dancing begin!

Open the doors, let the music pour in!

Hearts on display, While we all masquerade,

Everyone searching for someone to claim!

The season begins! Let the games begin!

Who will fall in love?

Who will lose? Who will win?

Behind every smile, There’s a secret within—

THE SEASON BEGINS!

Maybe one look

Could change everything.

Maybe the heart

Knows what it wants.

(careful...) One little secret Can ruin a name.

Who is that man?

Who is she? (oh...) They have no idea.

The season begins! Let the dancing begin!

One glance across the room,

One impossible chance! The season begins!

Tonight everything changes… THE SEASON BEGINS!
