Ode To An Elephant Lyrics by Gregg Edelman, Grant Gustin, Isabelle McCalla, Paul Alexander Nolan

Water for Elephants (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2024

[MR. JANKOWSKI]
Ode to an animal, gray and graceful
Wild and intractable, proud and regal
But when a smile breaks across her face
She's suddenly affable as a daisy
[MR. JANKOWSKI & JACOB]
And her eyes
Her beautiful amber eyes
Are telling me something wise
Across the divide between us
[MARLENA]
How is it—
How are you—
How could it happen, something so absolutely stunning
Appears from nothing?
How do you move?
Could what moves me move you too?
Could I learn to move with you?
[MARLENA, MR. JANKOWSKI & JACOB]
And her eyes
Hеr glorious amber eyes
Arе telling us something wise
Across the divide between us
[MARLENA, MR. JANKOWSKI, JACOB & AUGUST]
And her eyes
Her beautiful amber eyes
[AUGUST]
On posters far and wide
[MARLENA]
Are telling me what's inside
[JACOB]
They shine like lone stars
In the dusty night sky
