My Beloved

Dawn's promising skies,
Petals on a pool drifting--
Imagine these in one pair of eyes,
And this is my beloved.

Strange spice from the south,
Honey through the comb sifting--
Imagine these in one eager mouth,
And this is my beloved.

And when s/he speaks,
and when s/he talks to me--
Music! Mystery!
And when s/he moves,
and when s/he walks with me
Paradise comes suddenly near!

All that can stir--
All that can stun--
All that's for the heart's lifting--
Imagine these in one perfect one...

And this is my beloved!
And this is my beloved...

One of the most beautiful love songs Broadway has ever produced.
