AMALIA]
I don't know his name or what he looks like
But I have a much more certain guide
I can tell exactly what he looks like
Inside
When I undertook this correspondence
Little did I know I'd grow so fond
Little did I know our views would so correspond
He writes me what his feelings are
On Shaw, Flaubert, Chopin, Renoir
The more I read, the more I find
We're one in mind and heart
I know the kind of home we'd share
The books, the prints, the music there
A home, a life, that's warm and full
And rich in love
And art
I don't need to see his handsome profile
I don't need to see his manly frame
All I need to know is in each letter
Each long revealing letter
I couldn't know him better
If I knew his name
(spoken)
Oh, I know him so well, Ilona
I know that he's a very successful person
And terribly well-educated
And he's gentle and kind and soft-spoken
Oh, I know all this about him, and so much more!
I've just never met him, that's all
. [AMALIA]
He writes his deep-
Est thoughts to me
On Swift, Vermeer
And Debussy
De Mau-
Passant
Dumas, Ducas
Dufy
Dufay, Defoe
He thinks as I
He feels as I
He shares the same
Ideals as I
I'll never find
A man who's so
So
Simpatico
I know
I don't need to see his handsome profile
don't need to see his manly frame
All I need to know is in each letter, each
Long revealing letter
I couldn't know him better
If I knew his name
What's in a name?
