Getting to Know You

I was suddenly reminded of this song and I haven’t been listening to it for so long. This is a nice piece from Julie Andrews. Listening to her voice reminds me of The Sound of Music, another musical I can watch over and over again and will not get bored. The songs, they are lovely. Her voice, it’s lovely too.

It’s a very ancient saying,
But a true and honest thought,
That if you become a teacher,
By your pupils you’ll be taught.

As a teacher I’ve been learning
(You’ll forgive me if I boast)
And I’ve now become an expert,
On the subject I like most.

Getting to know you.

Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.

Getting to know you, putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.

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.

– The King and I
