Frederick Loewe — Without You

ELIZA: What a fool I was, what a dominated fool To think that you were the earth and the sky What a fool I was What an addlepated fool What a muddle-headed dolt was I! No, my reverberated friend You are not the beginning and the end HIGGINS (speaking): You impudent hussy! There's not an idea in your head or a word in your mouth that I haven't put there ELIZA: There'll be spring every year without you England still will be here without you There'll be fruit on the tree And a shore by the sea There'll be crumpets and tea without you Art and music will thrive without you Somehow Keats will survive without you And there still will be rain on that plain down in Spain Even that will remain without you I can do without you You, dear friend, who taught so well You can go to Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire They can still rule with land without you Windsor Castle will stand without you And without much ado we can all muddle through without you HIGGINS (speaking): You brazen hussy! ELIZA: Without your pulling it the tide comes in Without your twirling it the Earth can spin Without your pulling it, the tide comes in Without your twirling it, the earth can spin Without your pushing them, the clouds roll by If they can do without you, ducky, so can I I shall not feel alone without you I can stand on my own without you So go back in your shell I can do bloody well Without... HIGGINS (singing): By George, I really did it I did it, I did it I said I'd make a woman and indeed I did I knew that I could do it I knew it, I knew it I said I'd make a woman and succeed I did! HIGGINS (speaking): Eliza, you are wonderful!
