    [An Ordinary Couple | How Can Love Survive | No Way To Stop It]



    An Ordinary Couple   [print]

    An ordinary couple
    Is all we'll ever be,
    For all I want of living
    Is to keep you close to me,
    To laugh and weep together
    While time goes on its flight,
    To kiss you ev'ry morning
    An to kiss you ev'ry night.
    We'll meet our daily problems
    And rest when day is done,
    Our arms around each other
    In the fading sun.
    An ordinary couple,
    Across the years we'll ride,
    Our arms around each other
    Our children by our side;
    Our arms around each other.

    How Can Love Survive   [print]
    Outtake from: The Sound Of Music 1959 (S) 1965 (M)

    Elsa
    Oh Max!

    Max
    In all the famous love affairs
    The lovers have to struggle.
    In garret rooms away upstairs
    The lovers starve and snugggle.
    They're famous for misfortune which
    They seem tohave no fear of,
    While lovers who are very rich
    You very seldom hear of.

    Elsa
    No little shack do you share with me,
    We do not flee from a mortgagee,
    Nary a care in the world have we,

    Max
    How can love survive?

    Elsa
    You're fond of bonds and you own a lot.
    I have a plane and a diesel yacht,

    Max
    Plenty of nothing you haven't got!

    Both
    How can love survive?

    Elsa
    No rides for us on the top of a bus
    In the face of the freezing breezes

    Max
    You reach your goals in your comfy old Rolls
    Or in one of your Mercedes-es!

    Elsa
    Far, very far off the beam are we,
    Quaint and bizarre as a team are we,
    Two millionaires with a dream are we,
    We're keeping romance alive.

    Both
    Two millionaries with a dream are we,
    We'll make our love survive...

    Elsa
    No little cold water flat have we,
    Warmed by the glow of insolvency,

    Max
    Up to your necks in security.
    How can love survive?

    Elsa
    How can I show what I feel for you?
    I cannot go out and steal for you.
    I cannot die like Camille for you.
    How can love survive?

    Max
    You millionaires with financial affairs
    Are too busy for simple pleasure.
    When you are poor it is toujours l'amour,
    For l'amour all the poor have leisure!

    Elsa
    Caught in our gold platted chains are we,
    Lost in our wealthy domains are we.
    Trapped by our capital gains are we,
    But we'll keep romaince alive.

    Max
    Trapped by our capital gains are we,

    Both
    We'll make our love
    survive!

    No Way To Stop It   [print]
    From: The Sound Of Music, 1959 Broadway Musical

    [She]
    You dear attractive dewy-eyed idealist,
    Today you have to learn to be a realist.

    [He]
    You may be bent on doing deed of daring due,
    But up against a shark, what can a herring do?

    [She]
    Be wise, compromise.

    [He]
    Compromise, and be wise!

    [She]
    Let them think you're on their side, be noncommittal.

    [He]
    I will not bow my head to the men I despise!

    [Other He]
    You won't have to bow your head to stoop a little.

    [She]
    Why not learn to put your faith and your reliance,
    On an obvious and simple fact of science?

    Refrain

    [She]
    A crazy planet full of crazy people,
    Is somersaulting all around the sky.
    And everytime it turns another somersault,
    Another day goes by.
    And there's no way to stop it,
    No, there's no way to stop it.
    No, you can't stop it even if you tried.
    So, I'm not going to worry,
    No, I'm not going to worry,
    Everytime I see another day go by.

    [He]
    While somersaulting at a cockeyed angle,
    We make a cockeyed circle 'round the sun.
    And when we circle back to where we started from,
    Another year has run.

    [Both]
    And there's no way to stop it,
    No, there's no way to stop it,
    If the earth wants to roll around the sun.
    You're a fool if you worry.
    You're a fool if you worry,
    Over anything but little number one.

    [He]
    That's you!

    [She]
    That's I!

    [He]
    And I!

    [Other He]
    And me!

    [He]
    That all absorbing character.

    [She]
    That fastinating creature.

    [Other He]
    That super special feature,

    [All]
    Me!

    [He]
    So every star on every whirling planet,
    And every constellation in the sky,
    Revolves around the center of the universe,
    That lovely thing called, I.

    [All]
    And there's no way to stop it.
    No, there's no way to stop it,
    And I know, though I cannot tell you why (sigh).
    Just as long as I'm living,
    Just as long as I'm living,
    There'll be nothing else as wonderful as I.
    I! I! I! Nothing else as wonderful as I!
