Joel Grey - If You Could See Her Thru My Eyes Lyrics
M.C.:I know what you're thinkingYou wonder why I chose herOut of all the ladies in the worldThat's just a first impressionWhat good's a first impressionIf you knew her like I do,It would change your point of view-If you could see herIf you could see her thru my eyes,You wouldn't wonder at all.If you could see her thru my eyes,I guarantee you would fallLike I didWhen we're in public together,I hear society moan,But if they could see her thru 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 thru my eyes,Maybe they'd all understand...Why don't they leave us alone?[Spoken]Ladies and Gentlemen, I ask you,Is there a crime to fall in love?Can one ever choose where our heats lead us?All we as is "Ein bißchen Verständnis", a little understanding![Sung]Oh, I understand your objection,I grant my problem's not small;But if you could see her thru my eyes,She wouldn't look Jewish at all!
