The Music Man movie - My White Knight lyrics

rate me

<br>

Marian:<br>

Being in love used to be my fav'rite dream.<br>

Oh, yes. <br>

I've been in love more than anybody else has. <br>

I guess.<br>

My first love heroic'ly ran the streetcar.<br>

I tingled at ev'ry clang clang.<br>

Next I fell for the principal<br>

But, oh that teacher who sang "In the Gloamin'."<br>

Knee-deep in love--what a lovely dream!<br>

And yet, somehow,<br>

Me deep in love's only half of what I'm longing for now.<br>

I still love my being in love with someone,<br>

But tell me, why couldn't there be<br>

Somebody being in love with me?<br>

All I want is a plain man.<br>

All I want is a modest man.<br>

A quiet man, a gentle man<br>

A straightforward and honest man<br>

To sit with me in a cottage somewhere in the state of Iowa...<br>

And I would like him to be more interested in me<br>

Than he's in himself and more interested in us than in me...<br>

And if occasionally he'd ponder<br>

What makes Shakespeare and Beethoven great.<br>

Him I could love 'til I die.<br>

Him I could love 'til I die!<br>

Being in love--what a lovely dream!<br>

And yet, somehow,<br>

Being in love's only half of what I'm longing for now.<br>

And so then, <br>

Tonight I'll be in there dreaming<br>

And hoping that someday there'll be<br>

Just once!<br>

Somebody being in love with me...<br>

<br>
