So recently I travelled to Chicago with my Choir and we got to see the play Wicked at the Oriental Theatre. I LOVED IT!!! For those of you that don't know what Wicked's about, it's the background of Elphaba, the "wicked" witch. It's so good. So this song is the one that had me near tears...It's sung by Elphaba when she starts having feelings for Fiyero (the one that Glinda the "good" witch likes.
I'm Not That Girl
Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl:
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl
Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl:
Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl
