It's Only Love - Rudolf

"It's Only Love (Vertrau in uns)" from the original english demo recording of Frank Wildhorn's Rudolf - the Last Kiss, which would become Rudolf - Affaire Mayerling, the German-language musical currently playing at the Raimund Theater in Vienna, Austria.
A note: While I generally prefer the German lyrics, the English version of this song does have one discrete advantage: in the musical it is referred back to nicely when Taaffe returns Mary's ring and comments "Es ist nur Liebe," which Rudolf bitterly repeats.

I see you try to turn away I hear the words you want to say I feel how much you need to hide What's happening inside you tonight Come meet my eyes one moment more Our eyes are different than before This night, so beautiful and strange This night begins to change who we are Don't turn away, it's only love Quietly coming to you Whispering through you Take my hand, it's only love Let it come through you slowly Don't be afraid, it's only love We touch - the dark begins to stir We can't go back to where we were Don't be afraid to make it real, Don't be afraid to feel tonight Don't turn away, it's only love Only a touch that frees you Let it release you Take the chance, it's only love Open your heart and show me Don't be afraid, it's only love Don't close your eyes Don't hold it in Reach out to me Let it all begin Don't be afraid, it's only love Only a touch that frees you Let it release you Take the chance, it's only love Let it come through you slowly Open your heart and show me Don't be afraid, it's only love

Linda is such a great performer. One of the best versions I have ever heard of this song.

[@comkid459]

The way the singer caught the emotions in the first few lines is just amazing. So beautiful.

The song was originally written for Frank's show "The Scarlet Pimpernel" - that is what this version is. The demo for Scarlet Pimpernel - Margurite sining to Percy.. He took the tune and reused it with slightly differently to use it in Rudolf.

@hugmonster1 Though first appearing on Broadway in the Scarlet Pimpernel, Only Love was originally written for Rudolf. With the Hungarian and Vienna productions, Wildhorn restored it to its rightful place - and it can be found both on the Rudolf demo, and (in German, as ,,Vertrau in uns") on the Original Vienna Cast album.

[@Sam-lb8xs]

This is the best version of the song, for me. Everything is just right. Linda, your version of this beauty is still my favorite!!! Best wishes to you, Ms. Eder!

[@MuttWIlliamsOfficial]

This is from Scarlet Pimpernel. It's beautifully sung by Linda Eder. Brilliant song!

[@josephlim6854]

+Rose White You're right! I didn't get a chance to see the show but from listening to Linda Eder and comparing it to Christine Andreas's from the Bway production, I prefer Linda's voice.

[@MissBuecherfreak]

Beautiful song in English and German!

[@broadwaysweetie]

@mmgringoire2 Kate Shindle sings it on the Demo recording. Lisa sings it on the Vienna cast recording. Someone told me that...I forget who XD

[@sendittojeff]

It is non other than Linda Eder you can also find this song on here recording called "It's Time" There is only one voice like Linda's

[@gcbari]

It is Linda Eder.

[@diddims]

@mmgringoire2 I think that that's Linda Eder singing; she was married to Frank at the time that he wrote this.

[@ALYSSZ]

@Babybeertje94 Yep, it's Linda Eder :)

[@mmgringoire2]

@broadwaysweetie yeah. I think it's Linda too. It sounds like her.

[@HeartShapeGlasses007]

Soooooo beeyouteafullll

[@broadwaysweetie]

@mmgringoire2 or Linda Eder...I think it's probilly Linda but I'm not 100% sure anymore XD

[@HistoryVampire93]

wow.. who is the singer??? really great...

[@pilarrodriguez5585]

Who is the singer? She's amazing. Wow

[@mmgringoire2]

And the musical is all the better for having it, plus i like Lisa and this singer more than Christine Andreas , who sang it in Pimpernel.

[@siribaimusic]

why does everyone hate on christine andreas? I like it Her voice makes more sense in the musical than Linda's schmaltzy rendition here would for the character.

[@TingTong2568]

@@siribaimusic exactly!

[@mmgringoire2]

This is a beautiful song. I heard that Wildjorn took it out of Scarlet Pimpernel. Why would he do that? This song is breathtaking? Who is singing? Lisa?

[@hugmonster1]

Umm this is from the Scarlet Pinpernel
