I've always thought the lyrics to "And This Is My Beloved" from Kismet were INCREDIBLY romantic:


Dawn's promising skies
Petals on a pool drifting
Imagine these in one pair of eyes
And this is my beloved

Strange spice from the south
Honey through the comb sifting
Imagine these in one eager mouth
And this is my beloved

And when he speaks and when he talks to me
Music! Mystery!
And when he moves And when he walks with me
Paradise comes suddenly near

All that can stir
All that can stun
All that's for the heart's lifting
Imagine these in one perfect one
And this is my beloved

" I Have Dreamed " The King and I,

" 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 "

Could you just die ?

There is more to love-Aspects of love
Love Changes Everything-Aspects of love

Not exactly a romantic point in the show but "with You" from Pippin is one of my favorites

"Time weaves ribbons of memories to sweeten life when youth is through"

From "Hernando's Hideaway" from Pajama Game:

"...but if you go to the place
that I am thinking of
you will be free
to gaze at me
and speak of love."

The Next Ten Minutes from The Last Five Years

"Will you share your life with me
For the next ten lifetimes?
For a million summers
'Til the world explodes.
'Til there's no one left
Who has ever known us apart!"

[SongNDanceman2402]

we got sheet music to "I Believe My Heart" from The Woman in White for my show choir camp and it was beautiful.

i really like "to love another person is to see the face of god" from les miz, also "the rain will wash away what's past... i'll sleep in your embrace at last" from les miz breaks my heart every time.
i agree with grommetik about fantasies come true from avenue q (hey i rhymed!); it is very sweet.
and your eyes from rent is lovely. "now i'd die for one more day, 'cause there's something i should have told you... when i looked into your eyes, why does distance make us wise? you were the song all along, and before the song dies... i should tell you, i should tell you, i have always loved you. you can see it in my eyes!"

Do share, and quote us some lyrics that we don't already have up so we can all enjoy them!

When I heard the first line of Anthony's "Johanna" in Sweeney Todd, I honestly cried. It's so romantic in it's simplicity. I do still get chills from it.

"I feel you, Johanna."

[MyDreamsRecurring]

I suppose I shall!

"Alone in our secret,
Together we sigh,
For one smiling day to be free
To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky:
"Behold and believe what you see!
Behold how my lover loves me!"
-"We Kiss in a Shadow"-The King and I

"To dance in my dreams
To shine when I need the sun
With you
To hold me when dreams are done

And oh....
My dearest love
If you will take my love
Then all my dreams are truly begun

And time weaves ribbons of memory
To sweeten life when youth is through
But I would need no memories there
If I could share
My life with you"
-"With You"-Pippin

"Ah, sweet sovereign of my captive heart. I shall
not fail thee, for I know...
I have dreamed thee too long,
Never seen thee or touched thee.
But known thee with all of my heart.
Half a prayer, half a song,
Thou hast always been with me,
Though we have been always apart.
Dulcinea... Dulcinea
I see heaven when I see thee, Dulcinea,
And thy name is like a prayer
An angel whispers... Dulcinea... Dulcinea!"-"Dulcinea"-Man of La Mancha

"I love you too much to trust something clearer.
I know I fell too far,
But here you are." from Songs for a New World

and

"Such was my yearning that somehow you'd speak to me,
Somehow the walls have all crumbled away.
Now I can speak to you.
Now I just stare at you.
Now I have nothing to say." from Amour

Most of my faves have already been mentioned, but both of those fill my heart with bliss.

And from Oliver, "Where is Love?":

"Will I ever know
that sweet hello
that's meant for only me?"

"My Gentle Young Johnny" from "Tenderloin"
(sung by a prostitute desperate to leave her trade)

Oh when will you come for me?
When will you take me away?
You'll see what I am and you'll know what I've done
And yet when you love me, you'll be the first one

If you will be tender
Then I shall be shy
From lower than low I'll be higher than high
My gentle young Johnny, shall we be married today?

"No One is Alone" frm into the woods.

The part, sometimes people leave you . . so sad yet so loving.

"You are sunlight and I moon
Joined by the Gods of Fortune
Midnight and High Noon
Sharing one Star
How in the light of one night
Have we come so far"

Miss Saigon, right Lori?

[Lori]

Posted: 8/7/05 at 6:49pm

Right!

And I agree also with "To love another person is to see the face of God"

I'm in a Schonberg and Boubil mood tonight LOL!

The Miss Saigon song from Lori was "Sun and Moon."

(When I saw Emy Baysic play Kim she made me cry four times! She's playing Kim up in Maine this summer, by the by...)

I agree with "I wish I could Forget You."

I also find many of Lorenz Hart's lyrics terribly romantic. One of my favorites, although not one of his best known is "I'll tell the Man in the Street" ("I'll tell the man in the street/ And everyone I meet/ That you and I are sweethearts...").

Alan Jay Lerner was also an incredible romantic, and I adore "Here I'll Stay" ("And the world other's woo/ I will find loving you/ And so here I'll stay...").

"Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to live like that
Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to love like that
I just want to touch your heart
May this confession be the start."


Awwwwwww....

"Have I mentioned today / how lucky I am / to be in love with you?"

"I would sail across the world / to know the harbor of your arms."
