The Light in the Piazza
As I sit here drowning in finals studies, listening to the Showtunes fan station on my Yahoo Launchcast player (which I adore, by the way!), I've just discovered a musical called "The Light in the Piazza"! It takes place in Italy in 1954. I liked some of the lyrics and thought I'd share them. Ah, how I love Italy already!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.
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.
