Joel Grey - If You Could See Her

I know what you're thinking: You wondered why I chose her Out of all the ladies in the world. That's just a first impression, What good's a first impression? If you knew her like I do It would change you're point of view. If you could see her through my eyes You wouldn't wonder at all. If you could see her through my eyes I guarantee you would fall (like I did). When we're in public togtheer I hear society moan. But if they could see her through my eyes Maybe they'd leave us alone. Spoken: (There you are my liebling. Your favourite!) How can I speak of her virtues, I don't know where to begin? She's clever, she's smart, she reads musics She doesn't smoke or drink gin (like I do). Yet when we're walking together They sneer if I'm holding her hand. But if they could see her through my eyes Maybe they'd all understand. (Emcee and Gorilla dance) Why can't they leave us alone. Spoken: Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames and Messieurs Ladies and Gentleman Is it a crime to fall in love? Can we ever tell where the heart truly leads us? All we are asking is eine bisschen Verstandnis Why can't the world leben und leben lassen? 'Live and let live....' I understand your objection I grant you the problem's not small But if you could see her through my eyes She wouldn't look Jewish at all.
