the king and i...

Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect and whistle a happy tune so no one will suspect I'm afraid. While shivering in my shoes, I strike a careless pose and whistle a happy tune, and no one ever knows I'm afraid. The result of this deception is very strange to tell. For when I fool the people, I fear I fool myself as well! I whistle a happy tune, and ev'ry single time, the happiness in the tune convinces me that I'm not afraid. Make believe you're brave and the trick will take you far.

You may be as brave as you make believe you are.

Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say

Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.

********************
In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you,
I will love being loved by you.
