Guys And Dolls movie - I'll Know lyrics

rate me

Song by De Guzman, Josie<br /><br>

For I've imagined every bit of him <br>

To the strong moral fiber to the wisdom in his head <br>

To the home-y aroma of his pipe <br>

You have wished yourself a Scarsdale Galahad <br>

The breakfast-eating, Brooks-brothers type. <br>

Yes, and I shall meet him when the time is right. <br>

<br>

SKY. (spoken) You've got the guy all figured out. <br>

SARAH (spoken) I have. <br>

SKY (spoken) Including what he smokes. All figured out, huh? <br>

SARAH (spoken) All figured out. <br>

<br>

I'll know when my love comes along <br>

I won't take a change. <br>

I'll know he'll be just what I need <br>

Not some fly-by-night Broadway romance. <br>

And you'll know at a glance by the two-pair of pants. <br>

I'll know by the calm steady voice <br>

Those feet on the ground. <br>

I'll know as I run to his arms <br>

That at last I've come home safe and sound. <br>

Until then, I shall wait. <br>

Until then, I'll be strong. <br>

Oh, I'll know, when my love comes along. <br>

<br>

SKY. (spoken) No, no, no! You are talking about love! You can't dope it like that. What<br>

are you picking, a guy or a horse? <br>

SARAH (spoken) I wouldn't expect a gambler to understand. <br>

SKY (spoken) Would you like to hear how a gambler feels about the big heart throb? <br>

SARAH (spoken) No! <br>

SKY (spoken) Well, I'll tell you. <br>

<br>

Mine will come as a surprise to me. <br>

Mine I lead to chance and chemistry. <br>

<br>

SARAH (spoken) Chemistry? <br>

SKY (spoken) Yeah, chemistry. <br>

<br>

Suddenly I'll know when my love comes along <br>

I'll know then and there <br>

I'll know at the sight of her face <br>

How I care, how I care, how I care <br>

And I'll stop. And I'll stare. <br>

<br>

And I'll know long before we can speak <br>

I'll know in my heart. <br>

I'll know and I won't ever ask <br>

Am I right, am I wise, am I smart. <br>

And I'll stop. And I'll stare. <br>

At that face. In the throng. <br>

Yes, I'll know when my love comes along <br>

I'll know <br>

When my love comes along. <br>

<br>

I'll know. I won't take a chance. <br>

I know he'll be just what I need <br>

Not some fly-by-night Broadway romance. <br>

Until then, I shall wait. <br>

And till then, I'll be strong. <br>

Oh, I'll know when my love comes along.<br>

<br>
