DOROTHY
A house on Rittenhouse Square
Wouldn't be so hard to take,
But the things I would do
Would embarrass you,
And even the Quakers would quake.
I'd probably get you in Dutch
With the Pennsylvania Dutch,
So I don't think I should marry you,
I care for you too much.
HENRY
You say you care,
And all at once
A million roses pour their perfume on the air.
You say you care,
And you put words
To what the whipporwills are singing ev'rywhere.
How sweet, how strange
That all my loneliness
Should change into the loveliness we share.
If you were there,
No cloud would be too high,
And darling, I would even swim the sea
Just to hear you say you care for me.
