Lovely

KATHARINE:
With the dishes and the laundry,
I've no wishes, I've no quandaries.
When the mem’ries start to creep in,
grab a broom and get to sweepin’...

for life is lovely;
someone loves me.
Being lovely
is what I should be.

And we're happy;
there's enough we
have that's lovely
to not be lonely.
They're the only
things in my heart,
so I play my part.

And it's good I didn't give in
to what could have, maybe should have been.
Though desires may have faded,
I'm entirely persuaded that I

wouldn’t have been in your way;
there never was a price to pay.
I know I could’ve been much more,
but look what I have settled for.

Or maybe God felt I was meant
to have a life that’s just content.
Then again I have to say:
I would not have been in your way.
I know I shouldn’t speculate
on if we’d had a different fate,

but no matter what I do I can’t help but still see you…

(Musical interlude)

I have so much I want to share,
but you’re the only one who cared.
Since you went and lit the spark,
it’s hard to go back to the dark.

So I’ll be lovely;
someone loves me.
Being lovely
is enough for me.

And we're happy,
there's enough we
have that's lovely
so I just get by with all that’s left of me.
