Elizabeth Recitative Lyrics by Donna Summer

SCENE 3:
Zacharias leaves the Temple and
travels home to tell Elizabeth the
good news.

ELIZABETH: Zacharias? What is
the matter?
What is this strange new look in
your eyes?
Don't you know it's me
Elizabeth, your wife?

Why don't you speak?
What have your seen?
A letter for me from you,
Zacharias?
What does all this mean?

A son, Zacharias? For us?
But we are so... well ... we are old
I've dreamed of giving you a son,
Zacharias
I saw what I thoght was the death
of that dream
I trust what you've heard
And I know wha you've seen
Are from God
