Testo Expectations - Chris Hoch
Testo della canzone Expectations (Chris Hoch), tratta dall'album Amazing Grace (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
You will be perfect. Now, I am a superb
Judge of character. I have to be. (sung)
The influential man
Must always be
Keen to pass his noble traits
To posterity
The care that he must use
With the wife that he must choose
Is a matter of the utmost gravity
For she must live up to expectations
Nobody can doubt her loyalty
No questions or explanations
A woman of Christian tact and dignity
This is what a wife was meant to be
You know that I have travelled far and wide
Never found a woman that I wanted by my side
Most were rather plain
Some were barely sane
They wanted me, but I could not oblige
For it would ruin my reputation
To settle for a homely girl
Who did not live up to expectations
This is why I've asked you here today
To say the words you've always dreamed I'd say
For no one else fulfils my standards quite the way you do
And this is why I feel that I must offer this to you
(Spoken)
This ring belonged to the Duchess of Brunswick, my great grandmother
I'm just so overwhelmed. I'm not sure I deserve you
Oh, but you do! Even so, the Crown Prince will need to meet
And approve of you before we announce anything publicly
But when he hears you sing, our names will be spoken all over
London. And I know you won't disappoint him. Or me. (sung)
For you will live up to expectations
