Noël Coward - Why Does Love Get in the Way? Lyrics |
The English playwright, actor, singer and songwriter Noël Coward - Why Does Love Get in the Way? Lyrics
Suddenly my world has altered Suddenly my step has faltered Common sense has flown Here I am alone Coping with these new sensations Black despairs and wild elations Eros with his bow—has laid me low
Why does love get in the way so? What have I done That this son-of-a-gun Should pick on me? A little while ago my heart was serene and gay Everything seemed okay But now I suddenly find—I’ve lost my way Why does love lead one astray so? Why, oh why I want to laugh I want to cry? I was gay as a sparrow Till Cupid’s arrow Punctured this perfect day Why does love—get in the way?
Everything is blown to blazes Ordinary familiar phrases Seem to mean much more Than they meant before Colours seem a great deal brighter Black is blacker, white is whiter Every sight and sound Has changed around Why does love get in the way so? What should it fret And comlpetely upset My peace of mind? Why, only yesterday my heart was serene and bright Everything seemed all right But now I’m struck by a charge of dynamite! Why does love lead one astray so? Why the hell Should I be caught within it’s spell? Life was quite un-enchanted All that I wanted Now it’s a Passion Play Why does love get in the way? Why does love get in the way?
