Woman In White movie - Trying Not to Notice lyrics

rate me

<br>

(We are now in wilder couldtryside. It is hot. <br>

Collars are undone, shawls are abandoned. <br>

Hartright starts to sketch Laura)<br>

<br>

<br>

MARIAN<br>

<br>

Sweet tension fills the air<br>

which I know I ought not dwell upon<br>

I look away and still see him there<br>

I'm trying not to notice him<br>

yet I can't help but stare<br>

<br>

HARTRIGHT<br>

<br>

No gazing!<br>

Know your place<br>

words that I'd be wise to tell myself!<br>

I close my eyes and I still see her face<br>

I'm trying not to notice her<br>

but I don't stand a chance<br>

<br>

LAURA<br>

<br>

I'm trying not to notice him<br>

yet I return each glance<br>

A thousand contradictions<br>

are stirring in my soul<br>

they seem to grow in me<br>

overflow in me<br>

<br>

HARTRIGHT<br>

<br>

In spite of my convictions<br>

I'm losing my control<br>

<br>

MARIAN<br>

<br>

I'm slightly shocked inside<br>

keep it locked inside<br>

<br>

ALL THREE<br>

<br>

Unspoken<br>

Unexpressed<br>

Still it's louder than a symphony<br>

Can no one hear what my heart seems to shout?<br>

Perhaps they do not notice it<br>

Though it's as plain as day<br>

I'm trying not to notice it<br>

But it won't go away<br>

<br>

(The end of the lesson... Marian and Laura gather up their brushes and paints. <br>

They go to exit-Laura realizes that she has forgotten something. <br>

She returns to where Hartright is. They both linger for a moment)<br>
