Bernstein: Wonderful Town, Act 1: "A quiet girl" (Robert Baker)

歌詞

All right, goodbye You've taught me my lesson Get mixed up with a genius from Ohio It happens over and over I pick the sharp intellectual kind Why couldn't this time be different Why couldn't she only be Another kind, a different kind of girl I love a quiet girl I love a gentle girl Warm as sunlight Soft, soft as snow Her smile, a tender smile Her voice, a velvet voice Sweet as music Soft, soft as snow When she is near me The world's in repose We need no words She sees, she knows But where is my quiet girl Where is my gentle girl Where is the special girl Who is soft, soft as snow Somewhere Somewhere My quiet girl Ruth When she is near me The world's in repose We need no words She sees, she knows But where is my quiet girl Where is my gentle girl Where is the special girl Who is soft, soft as snow Somewhere Somewhere My quiet girl I know a quiet girl I know a quiet girl Hoping, waiting But he'll never know I know a quiet girl I know a gentle girl
