Land of Yesterday - Anastasia Original Broadway Cast Recording
[00:02.69] Once, I had a palace
[00:05.33] Here, merely a flat
[00:08.08] I fled with some diamonds
[00:09.97] And that was that
[00:12.72] It's very tragic
[00:13.97] Once, ladies-in waiting
[00:16.62] All bending a knee
[00:19.37] Now, only one lady-in-waiting— me
[00:24.76] No fanfares
[00:26.01] Or sedan chairs
[00:27.26] And no coaches
[00:28.76] And we sold our broaches
[00:30.51] No afternoon card games with the Tsar
[00:34.51] No caviar
[00:36.01] But I say we're not dead now
[00:38.51] We're not dead now
[00:40.01] We're in France instead, now
[00:41.76] Let us not be sad
[00:44.51] The night's young
[00:46.01] And Russians are mad
[00:47.26] So...
[00:47.76] Let's live in the land of yesterday
[00:50.26] Live in the grand Imperial heyday
[00:53.51] Let's live in the land of yesterday Russia
[00:57.51] Husha!
[00:59.15] Let's put on the fancy clothes
[01:01.15] And let's while our woes away
[01:04.15] In Russia
[01:05.90] Land of yesterday
[01:10.40] In dire circumstances
[01:12.90] Why wallow in regret?
[01:15.90] We're out of second chances
[01:18.65] Why are we here, except to forget?
[01:21.65] We know the world is fickle
[01:24.15] Life is a leaky sieve
[01:27.15] Pass me a glass
[01:28.04] And give me a bow—
[01:29.54] And drink to the "Countess Nobody" now
[01:32.79] Why should I care
[01:33.79] As long as I dare to live
[01:36.43] In the land of yesterday
[01:38.43] Let's run up the bill
[01:39.93] As if we're still
[01:40.93] Royalty at play
[01:43.43] In Russia, land of yesterday
[02:35.43] The night's young
[02:40.56] And Russians are mad, so...
[02:44.81] Let's live in the land of yesterday
[02:47.81] Live in the grand Imperial heyday
[02:51.81] Let's live in the land of yesterday Russia
[02:56.56] Husha!
[02:58.56] Let's brush off the days of old
[03:00.56] And let's hold the world at bay...
[03:07.06] Yes, here's to
[03:08.56] Russia!
[03:09.81] Here's to
[03:11.06] Russia!
[03:12.31] Here's to Russia!
[03:15.06] Land of yesterday
[03:27.56] Land of yesterday
[03:29.56] Hey!
