Song Time

So I went to go see Wicked (the musical) on Saturday night with my dear Auntie Carole (I had bought her tickets for christmas/birthday). It was wonderful! I really wish that I could afford to go to more theatre. And if Wicked ever makes a return to Toronto broadway, I will definitely see it again. I'm starting to read the book (which ... well, I don't know if its cause I'm half asleep with a busy mind, but its kind of hard to get into ... I'm really hoping it picks up).

But anywho, here is a song from the musical ... chosen for more than just the fact it was in Wicked.

I'M NOT THAT GIRL

ELPHABA
Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl

Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm Not That Girl

Every so often we long to steal
To the land of 'What-Might-Have-Been'
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in...

Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the Girl he chose
And heaven knows
I'm Not That Girl

Don't wish, don't Start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and pearl
There's a Girl I know
He loves her so
I'm Not That Girl
