Being in Love (Extrait De La Comédie Musicale « the Music Man ») |
| Being in love used to be my fav’rite dream |
| Oh, yes |
| I’ve been in love more than anybody else has |
| I guess |
| My first love heroic’ly ran the streetcar |
| I tingled at ev’ry clang clang |
| Next I fell for the principal |
| But, oh that teacher who sang «In the Gloamin'.» |
| Knee-deep in love--what a lovely dream! |
| And yet, somehow |
| Me deep in love’s only half of what I’m longing for now |
| I still love my being in love with someone |
| But tell me, why couldn’t there be |
| Somebody being in love with me? |
| All I want is a plain man |
| All I want is a modest man |
| A quiet man, a gentle man |
| A straightforward and honest man |
| To sit with me in a cottage somewhere in the state of Iowa… |
| And I would like him to be more interested in me |
| Than he’s in himself and more interested in us than in me… |
| And if occasionally he’d ponder |
| What makes Shakespeare and Beethoven great |
| Him I could love 'til I die |
| Him I could love 'til I die! |
| Being in love--what a lovely dream! |
| And yet, somehow |
| Being in love’s only half of what I’m longing for now |
| And so then |
| Tonight I’ll be in there dreaming |
| And hoping that someday there’ll be |
| Just once! |
| Somebody being in love with me… |
