She Loves Me movie - Trip to the Library lyrics

<br>

"How did you like the library Ilona?"<br>

<br>

Spoken:<br>

You've never seen such a place<br>

So many books<br>

So much marble<br>

So quiet<br>

<br>

Sung:<br>

And suddenly all of my confidence dribbled away with a pitiful plop<br>

My head was beginning to swim and my forehead was covered in cold perspiration<br>

I started to reach for a book and my hand automatically came to a stop<br>

I don't know how long I stood frozen a victim of panic and mortification<br>

<br>

Oooooh, how I wanted to flee<br>

When a quiet voice, a gentle voice, whispered, Pardon me<br>

<br>

"Pardon me?"<br>

<br>

Uh huh<br>

<br>

And there was this dear, sweet, <br>

Clearly respectable thickly bespectacled man<br>

Who stood by my side and quietly sad to me - mam', <br>

Don't mean to intrude, but I was just<br>

ondering are you need of some help, <br>

I said no, yes I am. <br>

<br>

The next thing you know I'm sipping hot chocolate and telling my troubles to Paul<br>

Whose tender brown eyes kept sending compassionate looks<br>

A trip to the library has made a new girl of me. For suddenly I can see, the magic of books!<br>

I have to admit in the back of my mind I was praying he wouldn't get fresh<br>

And all of the while I was wondering why an illiterate girl should attract him<br>

Then all of a sudden he said that I couldn't go wrong with the way of all flesh<br>

Of course it's a novel, but I didn't know or I certainly wouldn't have smacked him!<br>

Well he gave me a smile that I couldn't resist<br>

And I knew at once how much I liked this <br>

Optometrist<br>

<br>

"Optometrist?"<br>

<br>

Optometrist<br>

<br>

You know what this dear, sweet, slightly bespectacled gentlemen said to me next?<br>

He said he could solve this problem of mine<br>

I said, how?<br>

He said, if I'd like he'd willingly read to me some of his favorite things, I said when?<br>

He said now<br>

His novel approach seamed highly suspicious and possibly dangerous too, <br>

I told myself, wait,<br>

hing, dare you go up to his flat?<br>

<br>

What happens if things go wrong, <br>

It's obvious he's quite strong, <br>

He read to me all night long. <br>

<br>

Now how about that!<br>

<br>

It's hard to believe how truly domestic and happily hopeful I feel<br>

I picture my Paul there reading aloud as I cook.<br>

As long as he's there to read, there's quite a good chance indeed,<br>

A chance that I'll nevereed to open a book. <br>

Unlike someone else <br>

Someone I dimly recall. <br>

I know he'll only have eyes for me <br>

My optometrist Paul<br>
