Things We'll Do Someday

This ballad has proven one of the most popular on the entire site.
It was originally created for the first show in which I was
ever involved---an adaptation of Moliere's The Imaginary Invalid
combined with A Doctor In Spite of Himself. (Five other Love Songs
also came from that show---"Why Not Now?", "I Love Love Much Too Much",
"The Donkey and the Lima Bean", "Be Your Own Doctor" and "Come On
And Wrestle With Me"---although I made certain changes in some of them to fit more easily
into the theme of the Web Site.) I wrote only the lyrics for the musical, so
a friend came up with the idea of my placing the songs back in their original context and
creating my own Moliere adaptation. And that is exactly what I have done.

Things We'll Do Someday

We've known each other for just awhile

And still my fancies take flight,

For every time that you sigh or smile

Our tomorrows unite.

I have never seen you swimming in the sun,
I have never heard you pray;
We have never kissed before the coffee's done,
But these are things we'll do someday.

We have never watched our shadows on the lawn
As the twilight slips away;
We have never felt the stillness of the dawn,
But these are things we'll do someday.

Each time we touch
We'll fall in love anew,
We have so much,
So much to look forward to.

And soon we both will know how warm the winter seems
When your love is there to stay,
Then we'll sit and share our secret silent dreams,
Yes, these are things we'll do someday.
