Adam Guettel - The Beauty Is lyrics

These are very popular, in Italy It's the land of naked marble boys Something we don't see a lot in Winston-Salem That's the land of corduroys I'm just a someone in an old museum Far away from home as someone can go And the beauty is I still meet people I know Hello This is wanting something, this is reaching for it This is wishing that a moment would arrive This is taking chances, this is almost touching, what the beauty is I don't understand a word they're saying I'm as different here as different can be But the beauty is I still meet people like me Everyone's a mother here, in Italy Everyone's a father, or a son I think if I had a child, I would take such care of her Then I wouldn't feel like one I've hardly met a single soul, but I am not alone I feel grown This is wanting something, this praying for it This is holding breath and keeping fingers crossed This is counting blessings, this is wondering when I'll see that boy again I've got a feeling he's just a someone, too And the beauty is, when you realize, when you realize Someone could be looking for a someone like you
