Being in Love Lyrics by Shirley Jones

The Music Man (Motion-Picture Soundtrack)

0

[MARIAN]
Being in love used to be my fav'rite dream, oh, yes
I've been in love more than anybody else has I guess
My first love heroic'ly ran the streetcar
I tingled at ev'ry clang clang
Next I fell for the principal
But, oh that teacher who sang "In the Gloamin'"
Knee-deep in love, what a lovely dream
And yet, somehow
Knee-deep in love's only half of what I'm longing for now
I still love my being in love with someone
But tell me, why couldn't there be
Somebody being in lovе with me?
All I want is a plain man
All I want is a modest man
A quiet man, a gеntle man
A straightforward and honest man
To sit with me in a cottage somewhere in the state of Iowa
And I would like him to be more interested in me
Than he's in himself and more interested in us than in me
And if occasionally he'd ponder
What makes Shakespeare and Beethoven great
Him I could love 'til I die
Him I could love 'til I die
Being in love-what a lovely dream
And yet, somehow
Being in love's only half of what I'm longing for now
And so then tonight I'll be in there dreaming
And hoping that someday there'll be
Just once somebody being in love with me
