She Loves Me movie - Trip to the Library lyrics
rate me<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>
<br>
