Something Wonderful/Being Alive (Medley) - Live
Since we're already on Broadway
I thought we'd stay a while longer
Because Broadway, as you know, has given us such great songs
And the test of a great song in my opinion
Is not whether it went to number one
But, did it touch people's lives?
And did it stand the test of time?
Like these next songs have
He may not always say
What you would have him say
But now and then he'll say
Something wonderful
The thoughtless things he'll do
Will hurt and worry you
Then all at once, he'll do
Something wonderful
He has a thousand dreams
That won't come true
You know that he believes in them
And that's enough for you
You'll always go along
Defend him when he's wrong
And tell him when he's strong
He is so wonderful
He'll always need your love
And so he'll get your love
This man who needs your love
Can be wonderful
We all want someone to hold you too close
Someone to hurt you too deep
Someone to sit in your chair
And ruin your sleep
And make you aware of being alive
Someone you have to let in
Someone whose feelings you spare
Someone who like it or not
Will want you to share a little, a lot of being alive
Make me alive, make me confused
Mock me with praise, let me be used
Vary my days, but alone is alone, not alive
Somebody crowd me with love
Somebody force me to care
Somebody let me come through
I'll always be there
Frightened as you to help us survive
Being alive, being alive, being alive
Being alive
Thank you
