Cabaret Soundtrack - "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 You wouldn't wonder at all. If you could see her thru my eyes, 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' She's clever, she's smart, she reads music, I don't know where to begin. She doesn't smoke or drink gin. They sneer if I'm holding her hand, (Like I do) Maybe they'd all understand... Yet when we're walking together, [Spoken] But if they could see her thru my eyes, 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!
