Other Pleasures / The First Man You Remember - Michael Crawford

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…
