Rachel Bay Jones - Interlude 1: Marianne and the Bear Lyrics

[MARIANNE wakes up in the middle of the night.]

[MARIANNE, spoken]
What was it?
What in the world was that thing I was supposed to do today?
It's still there, still floating, just out of reach...
Come on, think, Marianne
Think, think, think
Oh, well
I guess it's just gone
Poof!
And..
Poof!
And...
Go to sleep, Marianne

[A BEAR enters the room. MARIANNE doesn't notice.]

The thing is
There have been so many moments in my life
So many wonderful, beautiful, incandescent moments
Where I thought
I am going to remember this forever
And now I can't remember a single one of them...
Oh, well
Too late
They're gone
Sigh
And a deeper sigh
And—

[MARIANNE sees the BEAR.]

God!
Who are you?

[MARIANNE dances with the BEAR.]

Rеmember this, Marianne

[MARIANNE]
Rеmember this
And
Let it stay
Just this way
Forever

[MARIANNE, spoken]
Yes, yes
I will remember this
And who knows
Maybe I can do still do that other thing

[MARIANNE]
That maddening mysterious thing

[MARIANNE, spoken]
Whatever it was

[MARIANNE]
Tomorrow...
