My White Knight lyrics

Marian:
Being in love used to be my fav`rite dream.
Oh, yes.
I`ve been in love more than anybody else has.
I guess.
My first love heroic`ly ran the streetcar.
I tingled at ev`ry clang clang.
Next I fell for the principal
But, oh that teacher who sang `In the Gloamin`.`
Knee-deep in love--what a lovely dream!
And yet, somehow,
Me deep in love`s only half of what I`m longing for now.
I still love my being in love with someone,
But tell me, why couldn`t there be
Somebody being in love with me?
All I want is a plain man.
All I want is a modest man.
A quiet man, a gentle man
A straightforward and honest man
To sit with me in a cottage somewhere in the state of Iowa...
And I would like him to be more interested in me
Than he`s in himself and more interested in us than in me...
And if occasionally he`d ponder
What makes Shakespeare and Beethoven great.
Him I could love `til I die.
Him I could love `til I die!
Being in love--what a lovely dream!
And yet, somehow,
Being in love`s only half of what I`m longing for now.
And so then,
Tonight I`ll be in there dreaming
And hoping that someday there`ll be
Just once!
Somebody being in love with me
