Gigi (Gaston's Soliloquy) (From "Gigi") - Louis Jourdan

GASTON:

There’s sweeter music when she sings, isn’t there?

A different bloom about her cheeks, isn’t there?

Could I be wrong, could it be so?

Oh where oh where did Gigi go?

Gigi, am I a fool without a mind?

Or have I merely been too blind?

To realize

Oh, Gigi!

Why, you’ve been growing up before my eyes

Gigi!

You’re not at all that funny

Awkward little girl I knew

Oh no!

Overnight, there’s been a breathless change

In you

Oh, Gigi!

While you were trembling on the brink

Was I out yonder somewhere

Blinking at a star?

Oh, Gigi!

Have I been standing up too close?

Or back too far?

When did your sparkle turn to fire?

And your warmth become desire?

Oh what miracle has made you the way you are?

Gigi!

Gigi!

Gigi!

Oh no!

I was mad not to have seen the change

In you

Oh Gigi!

While you were trembling… are?
