small;">If music is no longer lovely,
If laughter is no longer lilting,
If lovers
are no longer loving,
Then I don't want to know.
If summer is no
longer carefree,
If children are no longer singing,
If people are no
longer happy,
Then I don't want to know.
Let me hide ev'ry truth from
my eyes with the back of my hand,
Let me live in a world full of lies with my
head in the sand.
For my memories all are exciting.
My memories all are
enchanted,
My memories burn in my mead with a steady glow;
So if, my
friends, if love is dead,
I don't want to know.
Dear World is a Broadway musical with a
book by
Jerome Lawrence and
Robert E. Lee and
music and lyrics by Jerry
Herman. With its opening, Herman became the only composer-lyricist in history to have three productions running
simultaneously on Broadway. It starred Angela Lansbury,
who won the Tony
Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical in 1969 for her
performance as
the Countess Aurelia.
Based on Jean
Giraudoux's play The
Madwoman of Chaillot, it
focuses on the Countess Aurelia, Constance and Gabrielle, who deviously
scheme
to stop businessmen from drilling for oil in the Parisian neighbourhood of
Chaillot. The forces of idealism, love and poetry win
over those of greed, materialism and science.
