| It was my favorite song in the show too, as a kid, and it still is. I think it's one of the most extraordinary songs ever written for Broadway, with its gorgeous melody, ever gentle but gaining surprising emotional power by the end. I also love the lyric, the way the second and fourth lines of each stanza become the first and third lines of the next. Hammerstein patterned it on an east Asian verse form whose name I can never remember--but AlanScott can tell you! : ) |
