Betty Buckley - I Can See It (The Fantasticks) Lyrics
Beyond that road lies a shining world.Beyond that road lies despair.Beyond that road lies a world that's gleaming.People who are scheming.Beauty!Hunger!Glory!Sorrow!Never a pain or care.He's liable to find a couple of surprises there.There's a song he must sing;It's a well-known song.But the tune is bitterAnd it doesn't take long to learn!I can learn!That pretty little world that beams so bright.That pretty little world that seems delightfulCan burn! Burn! Burn!Let me learn! Let me learn!For, I can see it!Shining somewhere!Bright lights somewhere invite me to come thereAnd learn!And I'm ready!I can hear it!Sirens singing!Inside my ear I hear them all singingCome learn!Who knows, maybeAll the visions I can seeMay be waiting just for meTo say take me there, andMake me see it!Make me feel it!I know it's soI know that it reallyMay be!Let me learn!I can see it!(He can see it!)Shining somewhere!(Shining somewhere!)Those lights not only glitterBut once there they burn!I can hear it!(He can hear it!)Sirens singing!(Sirens singings!)Don't listen closeOr maybe you'll neverReturn!Who know, maybeAll the visions that I (he) seesMay be waiting just for me (him) toSayI can see it!SayShining somewhere!SayLet me see it!SayTake me thereAnd make me a part of it!Make me seeThose shining sights inside of me!(Make him see it!)Make me feelThose lights insideDon't lie to me!(Make him feel it!)I (he) know(s) it's so --I (he) know(s) that it really may be!Just what I always waited for!This is what my life's created for!Let me (him) learn!
