1991 Broadway The Secret Garden the Musical - A Bit of Earth Lyrics
ARCHIBALD: (spoken) A bit of earth...
DR. CRAVEN: (spoken) Until you are ready to send her to a school...
ARCHIBALD DR. CRAVEN: She wants a little it is my professional advice Bit of earth. That you continue to obey your She'll plant some natural instincts and avoid Seeds. Her.
ARCHIBALD: The seeds will grow.
DR. CRAVEN: (spoken) Archie...
ARCHIBALD: The flowers bloom. But is their bounty what she needs?
DR. CRAVEN: (spoken) If I could have your signature on these leases.
ARCHIBALD: How can she chance To love a little bit of earth? Does she not know?
The earth is old, and doesn't care if One small girl wants things to grow.
She needs a friend. She needs a father, brother, sister, mother's arms. She needs to laugh, She needs to dance and learn to work her girlish charms.
She needs a home. The only thing she really needs I cannot give. Instead she asks, a bit of earth, to make it live.
She should have a pony. Gallop cross the moor. She should have a doll's house, With a hundred rooms per floor. Why can't she ask for a treasure? Something that money can buy, That won't die. When I'd give her the world, She asks, instead... For some earth.
A bit of earth She wants a little bit of earth. She'll plant some seeds. The seeds will grow. The flowers bloom, their beauty Just the thing she needs...
She'll grow to love the tender roses, Lilies fair, the iris tall. And then in fall, Her bit of earth Will freeze and kill them all, A bit of earth, a bit of earth.
