[Keely Smith]
[Wonder how I feel living on a
hill top,]
[Looking on an ocean, beautiful
and still,]
This is what I need, this is
what I've longed for,
Someone young and smiling,
climbing up my hill.
[We are not alike, probably I'd
bore him]
[He's a cautious Frenchman, I'm
a little hick]
Younger men than I, officers and
doctors,
Probably pursue her, she could
have her pick.
[Wonder why I feel jittery and
jumpy,]
[I'm like a schoolgirl waiting
before a dance]
Can I ask her now, I am like a
schoolboy,
What will be her answer, do I
have a chance?
(music transition leading to the
song Some Enchanted Evening)
