Lyrics A Quiet Girl (from Wonderful Town) - Leonard Bernstein

A Quiet Girl (from Wonderful Town)

BAKER:
All right!
Goodbye!
You’ve taught me my lesson!
Get mixed up with a genius from Ohio!
It happens over and over
I pick the sharp intellectual kind
Why couldn’t this time be different
Why couldn’t she — only be Another kind — A different kind of girl
I love a quiet girl
I love a gentle girl
Warm as sunlight
Soft, soft as snow
Her smile, a tender smile
Her voice, a velvet voice
Sweet as music
Soft, soft as snow
When she is near me The world’s in repose
We need no words
She sees — she knows
But where is my quiet girl
Where is my gentle girl
Where is the special girl
Who is soft, soft as snow
Somewhere
Somewhere
My quiet girl
MUSIC BRIDGE
When she is near me The world’s in repose
We need no words
She sees — she knows
But where is my quiet girl
Where is my gentle girl
Where is the special girl
Who is soft, soft as snow
Somewhere
Somewhere
My quiet girl
