Lovely

KATHARINE:

With the dishes and the laundry,

I\'ve no wishes, I\'ve no quandaries.

When the mem’ries start to creep in,

grab a broom and get to sweepin’...

 

for life is lovely;

someone loves me.

Being lovely

is what I should be.

And we\'re happy;

there\'s enough we

have that\'s lovely

to not be lonely.

They\'re the only

things in my heart,

so I play my part.

 

And it\'s good I didn\'t give in

to what could have, maybe should have been.

Though desires may have faded,

I\'m entirely persuaded that I

wouldn’t have been in your way;

there never was a price to pay.

I know I could’ve been much more,

but look what I have settled for.

Or maybe God felt I was meant

to have a life that’s just content.

Then again I have to say:

I would not have been in your way.

I know I shouldn’t speculate

on if we’d had a different fate,

but no matter what I do I can’t help but still see you…

(Musical interlude)

I have so much I want to share,

but you’re the only one who cared.

Since you went and lit the spark,

it’s hard to go back to the dark.

So I’ll be lovely;

someone loves me.

Being lovely

is enough for me.

And we\'re happy,

there\'s enough we

have that\'s lovely

so I just get by with all that’s left of me.
