stephen sondheim - lovely lyrics
philia
i’m lovely,
all i am is lovely,
lovely is the one thing i can do.
winsome,
radiant as in some,
dream come true.
oh,
isn’t it a shame?
i can neither sew,
nor cook, nor read or write my name.
but i’m happy
merely being lovely,
for it’s one thing i can give to you.
hero
philia . . .
philia
yes?
hero
say my name.
philia
just say your name?
hero
yes.
philia
very well.
i have forgotten it.
hero
it’s hero.
philia
oh, forgive me, hero. i have no memory for names.
hero
you don’t need it. you don’t need anything
you’re lovely.
absolutely lovely.
who’d believe the lovelyness of you?
winsome,
sweet and warm and winsome,
radiant as in some
dream come true.
philia
true!
proteans
true!
hero
now venus would seem tame,
helen and her thousand ships
would have to die of shame
proteans
lovely, lovely
mm-mm-mm
both
and i’m happy,
happy that you’re (i’m) lovely,
for there’s one thing loveliness can do;
it’s a gift for me to share with you!
