A Letter From Cecile (SMASH Cast Version) SMASH Cast (Ft. Megan Hilty)

[IVY ("CECILE")]
Dear Sophie...
At the convent of St. Ursuline
Under lock and key we always felt secure
We were taught that Heaven is divine
And all who enter it are innocent and pure

And inside those medieval walls
We had no reason to believe it wasn't true
But it's hard to stay strong when one leaves those holy halls
And, Sophie, that is why I'm writing this to you

For there's this man, you see
This man, Vicomte Valmont
A second cousin to the cousin of my mother
Who would look at me
As he played faro with my aunt
And he wasn't looking at me like a brother

He is with us in Deauville
As my dear mama prepares
For my marriage she's brokered and arranged
But last night as I lay still
I heard him coming up the stairs
And now, Sophie, I am permanently changed!
