MFL 20B Show Me 1956

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 23 Mar 2003

[Freddy:] Speak
and the world is full of singing,
and I am winging
higher than the birds.
Touch,
and my heart begins to crumble,
the heavens tumble, darling,
and I'm......

[Eliza:] Words! Words! Words!
I'm so sick of words!
I get words all day long;
first from him, now from you!
Is that all you blighters can do.

Don't talk of stars burning above.
If you're in love,
Show me!
Tell me no dreams
filled with desire.
If you're on fire,
Show me!
Here we are together
in the middle of the night!
Don't talk of Spring!
Just hold me tight!
Anyone who's ever been in love'll
tell you that this is no time
for a chat!
Haven't your lips
longed for my touch?
Don't say how much;
Show me! Show me!
Don't talk of love
lasting through time.
Make me no undying vow.
Show me now.

Sing me no song!
Read me no rhyme!
Don't waste my time;
Show me!
Please don't implore,
beg or beseech.
Don't make a speech
Show me!
Never do I ever want
to hear another word.
There isn't one
I haven't heard.
Here we are together
in what ought to be a dream;
say one more word and I'll scream!
Haven't your arms
hungered for mine?
Please don't expl'in;
Show me!
Show me!
Don't wait until wrinkles and lines
pop out all over my brow.
Show me now.

[Freddy spoken:] Darling! Darling!
[Curtain:]
