A Little Night Music Soundtrack lyrics
You Must Meet My Wife lyrics [FREDRIK] She lightens my sadness, She livens my days, She bursts with a kind of madness My well-ordered ways. My happiest mistake, the ache of my life: You must meet my wife. She bubbles with pleasure, She glows with surprise, Disrupts my accustomed leisure And ruffles my ties. I don't know even now quite how it began. You must meet my wife, my Anne. One thousand whims to which I give in, Since her smallest tear turns me ashen. I never dreamed that I could live in So completely demented, contented a fashion. So sunlike, so winning, So unlike a wife. I do think that I'm beginning To show signs of life. Don't ask me how at my age one still can grow-- If you met my wife, you'd know. [DESIREE (speaking):] Dear Fredrik, I'm just longing to meet her. Sometime. [FREDRIK] She sparkles... [DESIREE] How pleasant. [FREDRIK] She twinkles... [DESIREE] How nice. [FREDRIK] Her youth is a sort of present-- [DESIREE] Whatever the price. [FREDRIK] The incandescent--what?--the-- [DESIREE (offering a cigarette):] Light? [FREDRIK] --of my life. You must meet my wife. [DESIREE] Yes, I must. I really must. Now-- [FREDRIK] She flutters. [DESIREE] How charming. [FREDRIK] She twitters. [DESIREE] My word! [FREDRIK] She floats. [DESIREE] Isn't that alarming? What is she, a bird? [FREDRIK] She makes me feel I'm--what?-- [DESIREE] A very old man. [FREDRIK] Yes--no! [DESIREE] No? [FREDRIK] But-- [DESIREE] I must meet your Gertrude. [FREDRIK] My Anne. [DESIREE] Sorry--Anne. [FREDRIK] She loves my voice, my walk, my mustache, The cigar, in fact, that I'm smoking. She'll watch me puff until it's just ash, Then she'll save the cigar butt. [DESIREE] Bizarre, but You're joking. [FREDRIK] She dotes on-- [DESIREE] Your dimple. [FREDRIK] My snoring. [DESIREE] How dear. [FREDRIK] The point is, she's really simple. [DESIREE] Yes, that much seems clear. [FREDRIK] She gives me funny names-- [DESIREE] Like? [FREDRIK] "Old Dry-as-Dust." [DESIREE] Wouldn't she just? [FREDRIK] You must meet my wife. [DESIREE] Yes, I must, yes, I must. [FREDRIK] A sea of whims that I submerge in, Yet so loveable in repentance. Unfortunately still a virgin, But you can't force a flower-- [DESIREE] Don't finish that sentence! She's monstrous! [FREDRIK] She's frightened. [DESIREE] Unfeeling! [FREDRIK] Unversed. She'd strike you as unenlightened-- [DESIREE] No, I'd strike her first. [FREDRIK] Her reticence, her apprehension-- [DESIREE] Her crust! [FREDRIK] No! [DESIREE] Yes! [FREDRIK] No! [DESIREE] Fredrik! [FREDRIK] You must meet my wife. [DESIREE] Let me get my hat and my knife! [FREDRIK] What was that? [DESIREE] I must meet your wife. [FREDRIK AND DESIREE] Yes, you must. Yes, I must.
