Miserere
[Deanna is in jail, with policeman Jan Pierce, and they sing a duet together.] 

[Jan sets the tempo - bum baba bum] 
[Deanna] 
What sounds am I hearing 
For whom are they chanting 
They frighten this heart of mine 
As never before 

Is tragedy nearing 
Ah me, can it be 
I am fated to see 
My beloved no more 

Ah, shall I see 
My [bad word] love 
No more 

[Jan] 
Ah 
Fairest Leonora 
Mine 
Is that mournful knell 

Thine will my heart be 
Though far from thee I dwell 

My only one 
My Leonora 
Fare thee well 

[Deanna] 
The voice of my lover 
Oh, terrible warning 
The one who is all to me 
Will die with the dawn 

Oh, sorrowful morning 
The light of the sun 
And the light of my life 
Will forever be gone 

[Jan] 
Though I die 
My love 
Will still 
Live on 

[Deanna] 
No 
Thou wilt never leave me 
Far 
Though my soul may be 

Thine is my heart 
All through eternity 

[Jan] 
And I will wait 
My Leonora 
For thee 

[Deanna harmonizing] 

[Jan] 
Angels above watch o'er thee 
Till on that shining day 

[Deanna - singing with Jan] 
Farewell till we meet 

[Jan] 
...We meet once more 

[Deanna] 
Forever I'll wait 

[Jan] 
...I'll wait at Heaven's door 

[Deanna] I'll wait forevermore 

[Jan] 
...My Leonora 
For thee 

[Deanna harmonizing, Jan continues] 

Although I go before thee 
With thee my heart I leave 

[Deanna] 
I will be faithful 

[Jan] 
...Faithful to me 

[Deanna] 
I give my promise 

[Jan] 
...Promise that you will be 

[Deanna] 
I am thy [bad word] love 

[Jan] 
...Farewell my love 
And do not grieve 

[Deanna] 
Until I meet thee above 

[Jan] 
Farewell my love 

[Deanna] 
...May Heaven bless thee 
My love 

[Ends on sustained high note]
