If You Could See Her Lyrics by Joel Grey

Cabaret (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture)

0

[EMCEE]
I know what you're thinking
You wonder why I chose her
Out of all the ladies in the world
It's just a first impression
What good's a first impression?
If you knew her like I do
It would change your point of view
If you could see her through my eyes, you wouldn't wonder at all
If you could see her through my eyes, I guarantee you would fall
Like I did
When we're in public together, I hear society moan
But if they could see her through my eyes, maybe they'd leave us alone
How can I speak of her virtues? I don't know where to begin
She's clever, she's smart, she reads music, she doesn't smoke or drink gin
Like I do
Yet when we're walking together, they sneer if I'm holding her hand
But if they could see her through my eyes, maybe they'd all understand
Why don't they leave us alone?
(spoken)
Meine Damen und Herren
Mesdames et messieurs
Ladies and gentlemen, I ask you
Is it a crime to fall in love?
Can one ever choose where the heart leads us?
All we ask is Ein bißchen Verständnis, a little understanding
Why can't the world leben und leben lassen?
Live und let live
(sung)
Oh, I understand your objection, I grant you, the problem's not small
But if you could see her through my eyes, she wouldn't look Jewish at all
