After we met
I felt regret
falling in love with you.
I thought with despair
you'd never care
honest, I never knew.
Chorus:
If I cry
when you say
that you love me
Then it's only from happiness.
I never thought
you could care
Now that it happened
I can't hide the tears.
But it's joy
not despair
that my heart feels.
It's sweet surprise
that my eyes reveal
I always loved you
but thought your love
would pass me by.
So be kind, understand
if I cry.
Nothing happened to either song.
Happily, the play Norman and I wrote won the 1948 J. Show contest over a musical written by Mel Mandel and a friend of his. I was going to direct our play but backed out, recognizing my lack of experience. It was directed by Bill Vaughn, a good friend and personal assistant to Donovan Rhynsburger, head of the University Drama Department.
I did write all the songs for the show. I have (scant) recollection of where each song went in Act I. As a matter of fact I was under the impression that the song ABNORMAL YOU was presented in the 1947 J. Show IN KING ARTHUR. I noted it there, then came across a schedule by one of the two-piano "orchestra" (Louise Wolpert) for THE EYES HAVE IT which indicated ABNORMAL YOU three times, under both ACT I and ACT II. So there it is – with no memory in my fading brain as to when or how or by whom it was performed.
The only song I know was performed in ACT I was by our good-looking hero, a young student named, I believe, Jim Shirley. No verse.
