Kurt Weill on Broadway

[CELLINI, spoken]
I think you very beautiful. 
[ANGELA, spoken]
I think you very handsome. 
[CELLINI]

I never heard you so bold before
[ANGELA]
The words came out
They're now beyond recall
[CELLINI]
I always found you so cold before
[ANGELA]
I didn't think you thought of me at all
[CELLINI]
I'm mad about your smile, your eyes, your hair
Your every wish I'm eager to obey
In all your loveliness I see you sitting there
So near, so near—yet miles and miles away
Miles and miles away
[ANGELA]
I'm afraid that's near enough
When you talk to me likе that
I don't know where I am at
I'm afraid, afraid you're far too nеar me
So I pray you, stay you where you are
For, oh dear me, I fear me
Should you come too near me
My heart may go too far
But to think, to think that you might leave me
Makes me feel I have to have you know
I'm afraid, afraid you're far too near me
To ever, ever let you go
I'm afraid, afraid you're far too near me
To ever let you go
[CELLINI]
You can never, never be too near me!
From today you stay you where you are
When from heaven you descended
'Twas never intended
I worship from afar
If you ever, ever dare to leave me
No excuse for living would I know
I'm afraid, afraid you're far too near me
To ever, ever let you go
I'm afraid, afraid you're far too near me
To ever let you go
[ANGELA]
I'm afraid, afraid you're far too near me
[CELLINI]
You can never, never be too near me!
[ANGELA]
So I pray you, stay you where you are
[CELLINI]
From today you stay you where you are
[ANGELA]
For, oh dear me, I fear me
[CELLINI]
When from heaven you descended
[ANGELA]
Should you come too near me
[CELLINI]
'Twas never intended
[ANGELA]
My heart may go too far
[CELLINI]
I worship from afar
[ANGELA]
But to think, to think that you might leave me
[CELLINI]
If you ever, ever dare to leave me
[ANGELA]
Makes me feel I have to have you know
[CELLINI]
No excuse for living would I know
[ANGELA & CELLINI]
I'm afraid, afraid you're far too near me
To ever, ever let you go
I'm afraid, afraid you're far too near me
To ever let you go
