The Fantasticks movie - METAPHOR lyrics
rate me<br>
I don't what to call her!<br>
She's too vibrant for a name!<br>
Should I call her...Juliet!<br>
<br>
Yes, dear<br>
<br>
Helena!<br>
<br>
Yes, dear!<br>
<br>
And Cassandra, and Cleopatra, and Beatrice<br>
And also Guenevere<br>
<br>
What dear?<br>
<br>
I think she's there.<br>
Can you hear me?<br>
<br>
(...)<br>
Speak a little louder!<br>
<br>
I love you!<br>
<br>
Ah ah ah ah aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!<br>
<br>
If I were in the desert deep in sand,<br>
And the sun was burning like a hot pomegranate:<br>
Walking through a nightmare in the heat of a summer day,<br>
Until my mind was parch-ed!<br>
Then you are water...<br>
Cool, clear water...<br>
A refreshing glass of water!<br>
<br>
What dear?<br>
<br>
Water!<br>
<br>
Ah ah ah aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!<br>
<br>
Love! You are love!<br>
Better far than a metaphor<br>
Can ever, ever be.<br>
Love! You are love!<br>
My mystery of love!<br>
<br>
If the world was like an iceberg,<br>
And everything was frozen,<br>
And tears turned into icicles in the eye!<br>
And snow came pouring<br>
And sleet and ice<br>
Came stabbing like a knife!<br>
Then you are heat!<br>
A fire alive with heat!<br>
A flame that thaws the iceberg with its heat!<br>
<br>
Repeat!<br>
<br>
You are heat!<br>
<br>
Ah ah ah ah aaaaaaaaaaa!<br>
<br>
Love! (I am love!)<br>
You are love! (I am love!)<br>
Better far than a metaphor<br>
Can ever, ever be.<br>
Love! (I am love!)<br>
You are love! (I am love!)<br>
My mystery (His mystery)<br>
Of love!<br>
<br>
You are Polaris,<br>
The one trustworthy star.<br>
You are! (I am!)<br>
You are! (I am!)<br>
<br>
You are September,<br>
A special mystery<br>
To me! (To he!)<br>
To me! (To he!)<br>
<br>
You are sunlight! Moonlight!<br>
Mountains! Valleys!<br>
The microscopic inside of a leaf!<br>
My joy! (Yes, I am his joy!)<br>
My grief! (Yes, I am his grief!)<br>
My star! (Yes, I am his star!)<br>
My leaf! (Yes, I am his leaf!)<br>
<br>
Oh. Love! (I am love!)<br>
You are love! (I am love!)<br>
Better far than a metaphor<br>
Can ever, ever be.<br>
Love! (I am love!)<br>
You are love! (I am love!)<br>
My mystery (His mystery)<br>
Of love...<br>
Love...<br>
Love...!<br>
<br>
