Kurt Weill
Here I’ll Stay
[SAM]
Susan, this is all I'm searching for
A place to live with you for evermore
A sign that says it's Samuel Cooper's store
There is no other world awaiting me
This meadow is as far as I can see
My heaven is no higher than that tree

There's a far land I'm told
Where I'll find a field of gold
But here I'll stay with you
And they say there's an isle deep with clover
Where your heart wears a smile all day through
But I know well they're wrong
And I know where I belong
And here I'll stay with you
For that land is a sandy illusion
It's thе theme of a dream gonе astray
And the world others woo
I can find loving you
And so here I'll stay!

[SUSAN]
Since I was old enough to long
And harken to a tender song
And learned that life should be ever fair
But not by living in the air
My longing used to be
That I'd hear it said to me
There's a far land I'm told
Where I'll find a field of gold
But here I'll stay with you
And they say there's an isle deep with clover
Where your heart wears a smile all day through

[SAM & SUSAN]
But I know well they're wrong
And I know where I belong
And here I'll stay with you
For that land is a sandy illusion
It's the theme of a dream gone astray
And the world others woo
I can find loving you
And so here I'll stay!
