I’ll Know Lyrics by Josie de Guzman, Peter Gallagher

Guys and Dolls (New Broadway Cast Recording)

1992

[SKY, spoken]
It is nice to know, Miss Sarah, that somewhere in the world
There's a guy who might appeal to you
I wonder what this guy will be like?
[SARAH, spoken]
He will not be a gambler
[SKY, spoken]
I'm not interested in what he will not be
I am interested in what he will be
[SARAH, spoken]
Don't worry, I'll know
[SARAH]
For I've imagined every bit of him
From his strong moral fiber to the wisdom in his head
To the homey aroma of his pipe
[SKY]
You have wished yourself a Scarsdale Galahad
The breakfast-eating, Brooks Brothers typе
[SARAH, spoken]
Yes!
[SARAH]
And I shall meet him when the timе is ripe
[SKY, spoken]
You've got the guy all figured out
[SARAH, spoken]
I have
[SKY, spoken]
Including what he smokes
All figured out, huh?
[SARAH, spoken]
All figured out
[SARAH]
I'll know when my love comes along
I won't take a chance
For oh, he'll be just what I need
Not some fly-by-night Broadway romance
[SKY]
And you'll know at a glance
By the two pair of pants
[SARAH]
I'll know by the calm steady voice
Those feet on the ground
I'll know as I run to his arms
That at last I've come home safe and sound
And 'til then, I shall wait
And 'til then, I'll be strong
For I'll know when my love comes along
[SKY, spoken]
No, no, no, you're talking about love
You can't dope it like that
What are you picking, a guy or a horse?
[SARAH, spoken]
I wouldn't expect a gambler to understand
[SKY, spoken]
Would you like to hear how a gambler feels
About the big heart throb?
[SARAH, spoken]
No
[SKY, spoken]
Well, I'll tell you
[SKY]
Mine will come as a surprise to me
Mine I leave to chance and chemistry
[SARAH, spoken]
Chemistry?
[SKY, spoken]
Yeah, chemistry
[SKY]
Suddenly I'll know when my love comes along
I'll know then and there
I'll know at the sight of her face
How I care, how I care, how I care
And I'll stop and I'll stare
And I'll know, long before we can speak
I'll know in my heart
I'll know and I won't ever ask
"Am I right, am I wise, am I smart?"
But I'll stop and I'll stare
At that face in the throng
Yes, I'll know when my love
[SKY & SARAH]
Comes along (I'll know)
[SKY & SARAH]
When my love comes along
[SKY kisses SARAH tenderly but she doesn't respond. They separate. SARAH comes over to SKY and slaps him.]
[SKY, spoken]
Oh, I'll drop in again
Case you want to take a crack at the other cheek
[SARAH]
I won't take a chance
My love will be just what I need
Not some fly-by-night Broadway romance
And 'til then, I shall wait
And 'til then, I'll be strong
For I'll know when my love comes along
