Bitter Sweet the Musical - Tell Me What is Love? Lyrics
Music and lyrics by Noël Coward.
SARAH MILLICK:
Play something gay for me,
Play for me, play for me;
Set me free,
I'm in a trance tonight,
Can't you see
How I want to dance tonight?
Madly my heart is beating,
Some insane melody possessing me,
In my brain thrilling and obsessing me;
How can I leave it to call in vain?
Is it joy or pain?
Live your life, for time is fleeting,
Some insistent voice repeating;
Hear me-hear me,
How can I leave it to call in vain?
Is it joy or pain?
Tell me-tell me-tell me, what is love?
Is it some consuming flame;
Part of the moon, part of the sun,
Part of a dream barely begun?
When is the moment of breaking-waking?
Skies change, nothing is the same,
Some strange magic is to blame;
Voices that seem to echo round me and above,
Tell me, what is love, love, love?
Play something gay for me,
Play for me-play for me;
Tell me why Spring has so enchanted me;
Why this shy Passion has been granted me;
Am I awake or dreaming?
Far and near
Every lover follows you,
Swift and clear,
Flying as the swallows do;
Leave me no longer to call in vain,
Are you joy or pain?
Leave me not by love forsaken,
If I sleep, then let me waken;
Hear me-hear me,
Leave me no longer to call in vain
Are you joy or pain?
