I'll Know (Extrait De La Comédie Musicale « Blanches Colombes Et Vilains Messieurs ») - Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons

I’ve imagined every bit of him

From the strong moral fiber to the wisdom in his head

To the homey aroma of his pipe

You have wished yourself a Scarsdale Galahad

The breakfast-eating, Brooks-brothers type

And I shall meet him when the time is right

I’ll know when my love comes along

I won’t take a chance

I’ll know he’ll be just what I need

Not some fly-by-night Broadway romance

And you’ll know at a glance

By the two-pair of pants

I’ll know by the calm steady voice

Those feet on the ground

I’ll know as I run to his arms

That at last I’ve come home safe and sound

Until then, I shall wait

Until then, I’ll be strong

Oh, I’ll know, when my love comes along

Mine will come as a surprise to me

Mine I leave to chance and chemistry

Chemistry?

Yeah, chemistry

Suddenly I’ll know when my love comes along

I’ll know then and there

I’ll know at the sight of her face

How I care, how I care, how I care

And I’ll stop, and I’ll stare

And I’ll know long before we can speak

I’ll know in my heart

I’ll know and I won’t ever ask

Am I right, am I wise, am I smart?

But I’ll stop, and I’ll stare

At that face in the throng

Yes, I’ll know when my love comes along

I’ll know when my love comes along
