Cabaret Soundtrack If You Could See Her Lyrics

If You Could See Her Lyrics

M.C.:

 I know what you're thinking

 You wonder why I chose her

 Out of all the ladies in the world

 That's just a first impression

 What good's a first impression

 If you knew her like I do,

 It would change your point of view-

 

 If you could see her

 If 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 fall 

 (Like I did)

 When 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...

 

 [Spoken]

 Ladies and Gentlemen, I ask you,

 Is there a crime to fall in love?

 Can one ever choose where our heats lead us?

 

 [Sung]

 Oh, I understand your objection,

 I grant my problem's not small;

 But if you could see her thru my eyes,

 She isn't a meeskite at all!
