Michael Crawford: Other Pleasures/The First Man You Remember

From Aspects of Love

'''Other Pleasures'''

GEORGE:
Jenny,
You're a miracle!
Is there nothing you conceal?
Jenny,
You astonish me!
Never hiding
What you feel...

Other pleasures...
And I've known many...
Afternoons
In warm Venetian squares,
Brief encounters,
Long siestas...
Pleasures old and new
Can't compare with you.

You amaze me!
Where did you come from?
You do things
Champagne could never do.
Crystal winters,
Crimson summers...
Other pleasures --
I would trade them all
For you.

Pleasures old and new
Can't compare with you...

Wild mimosa,...
The scent of evening...
Shuttered rooms
With sunlight breaking through...
Crazy soirees...
Lazy Sundays...
Other pleasures...
I would trade them all
For you.

Sailing off
In the night
On a silver lake...
Taking more
From this life
Thank I ought to take...
Other pleasures...
I would trade them all
For you.

'''The First Man You Remember'''

GEORGE:
I want to be
The first man you remember,
I want to be
The last man you forget.
I want to be
The one you always turn to,
I want to be
The one you won't regret.
May I be first
To say you look delightful?
May I be first
To dance you round the floor?
The very first
To see your face by moonlight?
The very first
To walk you to your door?

JENNY:
Well, young man, I'd be delighted!
There is nothing I would rather do!
What could be a sweeter memory
Than sharing my first dance with you?

GEORGE:
I want to be
The first man you remember...

JENNY:
The very first
To sweep me off my feet.

GEORGE:
I want to be
The one you always turn to...

JENNY:
The first to make
My young heart miss a beat.

GEORGE:
Seems the stars are far below us...

JENNY:
The moon has never felt so close before...

Our first dance will be forever...

GEORGE:
And may it lead to many more!
I want to be
The first man you remember...

JENNY:
The very first
To sweep me off my feet.

GEORGE:
I want to be
The one you always turn to

JENNY:
The first to make
My young heart miss a beat.

GEORGE:
I want to be
The one you always turn to
I want to be
The one you won't regret...

GEORGE AND JENNY:
The very first...
The very first...
