you've got to be taught to hate and fear
you've got to be taught from year to year
it's got to be drummed in your dear little ear
you've got to be carefully taught

you've got to be taught
before it's to late
before you are six
or seven or eight
to hate all the people
you're relatives hate
you've got to be carefully taught

"One dream in my heart,
One love to be livin' for,
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine."

"This Nearly Was Mine" is one of my favorite songs ever written. Hearing and seeing Stokes do it on tape at Carnegie Hall stopped my breath.

Seeing him doing it live may stop my heart.

most people live on a lonely island
lost in the middle of a foggy sea
most people long for another island
one where they know they would like to be

bali ha'i may call you
any night any day
in your heart
you'll hear her call you
come away
come away

On that note....

Buzz just got home, so I am off to sleep!

Have a wonderful night all!

I used to sing both of those for auditions years ago. (Carefully Taught and This Nearly Was Mine)

Who can explain it
Who can tell you why
Fools give you reasons
Wise men never try

some enchanted evening
you may see a stranger
you may see a stranger
across a crowded room
and somehow you know
you know even then
that someday you'll see her
again and again

I played Nellie in a concert staging last year, and now keep Cockeyed Optimist in my book just in case.

Est-ce que
Parce que

i'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair
i'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair
i'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair
and send him on his way

When the sky is a bright canary yellow
I forget every cloud I've ever seen
So they call me a cockeyed optimist
Immature and incurably green!

Are you enjoying this, DEET?

Can't you tell, RATH?

Get the picture, middi?

D2, do you know the line (not a lyric) that goes "One waits so long for what is good..."? I don't know the rest, but I always liked it. I may just make it my new sig if I can find it.

ok folks good night everyone. Hugs all around

One waits so long for what is good...and when at last it comes, one cannot risk to lose. So...one must speak and act quickly even - even if it seems almost foolish to be so quick.

I think of all the R&H secondary couple songs, my favourites to sing are "When the Children are Asleep" and "I Have Dreamed".

My Emile was a bit...older. Only fitting as I am no spring chicken myself.

A certain "fan" who came to see the show told me later that it looked as if I was kissing my grandfather.

Reba was no 'spring chicken' either, and it worked beautifully. Hell, neither were either of the two women primarily associated with the role!

It's all in the intent.

How about "mid-summer hen," Rath?

I have dreamed that your arms are lovely,
I have dreamed what a joy you'll be.
I have dreamed every word you whisper.
When you're close,
Close to me.
How you look in the glow of evening
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view.

In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you,
I will love being loved by you.

in my own little corner
in my own little chair
i can be whatever i want to be

How about "late twilight co-" I mean, "rooster", D2?

Why would a fellow want a girl like her
A girl who's merely lovely
Why can't a fellow ever once prefer
A girl who's merely me

She's a dainty little bubble
With a dainty kind of charm
And with very little trouble
I could break her little arm

Why would a fellow want a girl like her
A girl who's merely lovely
Why can't a fellow ever once prefer
A girl who's merely me

What's the matter with the man?
What's the matter with the man?
What's the matter with the man?

Ha! At least I know that one's not about me!
