When Barbra was recording these songs from The King and I, she said, standing at the microphone after a take: "These songs feel so good to sing." Yes. Because they are so perfectly crafted. Rodgers & Hammerstein at their best. (May we say, "we have dreamed" of hearing Barbra sing them.) - Marilyn & Alan Bergman

We kiss in a shadow We hide from the moon Our meetings are few And over too soon I have dreamed That your arms Are lovely... I have dreamed What a joy You'll be... I have dreamed Every word you whisper (We speak in a whisper) When you're close to me Close to me Afraid to be heard Alone in our secret Together we sigh For one smiling day To be free... How you look In the glow of evening (To kiss in the sunlight) I have dreamed And enjoyed the view (And say to the sky... ) In these dreams I've loved you so That by now I think I know What it's like to be loved by you (Behold and believe) I will love Being loved by you He will not always say What you would have him say But now and then he'll say Something wonderful The thoughtless things he'll do Will hurt and worry you Then all at once, he'll do Something wonderful He has a thousand dreams That won't come true You know that he believes in them And that's enough for you You'll always go along Defend him when he's wrong And tell him when he's strong He is wonderful. He'll always need your love And so he'll get your love A man who needs your love Can be wonderful!
