A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum Soundtrack
Lyrics
Lovely
(Sondheim)
(Philia)
I'm lovely
All I am is lovely
Lovely is the one thing I can do
Winsome
What I am is winsome
Radiant as in some
Dream come true
Oh
Isn't it a shame?
I can neither sew
Nor cook, nor read or write my name
But I'm happy
Merely being lovely
For it's one thing I can give to you
(Hero)
"Philia..."
(Philia)
"Yes?"
(Hero)
"Say my name."
(Philia)
"Just your name?"
(Hero)
"Yes."
(Philia)
"Very well. I have forgotten it."
(Hero)
"It's Hero."
(Philia)
"Oh, forgive me, Hero. I have no memory for names."
(Hero)
"You don't need one. You don't need anything."
You're lovely
Absolutely lovely
Who'd believe the loveliness of you?
Winsome
Sweet and warm and winsome
Radiant as in some
Dream come true
(Philia)
True!
(Proteans)
True!
(Hero)
Now Venus would seem tame
Helen and her thousand ships
Woudl have to die of shame
(Proteans)
Lovely, lovely
Mm - mm - mm
(Both)
And I'm happy
Happy that you're (I'm) lovely
For there's one thing loveliness can do:
It's a gift for me to share with you!
