Lyrics
Ella, look at me— This way, Ella Ella, concentrate hard Ella, hear me And turn before I deal another card No, don't look at me Don't look up, Charles If you look at me, then I will look at you happily And they will see how much I like you When will I ever see you, Ella? When will we meet? When will we speak? When will I once again touch your cheek? When? When will we meet? I long to know, Charles How do you dance? How do you smoke? What is a party? What is a joke? But when? I pa**. (sung) I pa**, I pa** the hours planning things to teach you I pa** the hours planning ways to reach you When? When? When? One heart. (sung) Onе heart, one heart is bеating wildly Can she hear it? One heart is beating wildly Charles is near it When? When will we be alone together? When can we meet? When can we be alone together? When can we speak? When can we meet? When can I once again touch your cheek? When can we speak? When can I once again touch your cheek? When? "Ella, gay as a tarantella..." "Pure as larks singing a cappella..." "Let my poem be your umbrella..." Ella, poets who suffer pain Should fall in love with girls named Jane Not Ella When will we meet? I long to know What songs do you like? Where are you from? Have you been married? Why did you come? When? When, Ella, when? I long to teach Your eyes how to read Hands how to write Lips how to spell But night after night— When? I see you scouring and mending Pale and dreamy Bending and pretending Not to see me When? When? When? I see you smile at me in Notions While I'm cooking Cover your emotions— Charles, they're looking! When? When will we ever be together? When is the time? When will we ever be together? Where is the place? When is the time? When can I once again touch your face? Where is the place? When can I once again touch your face? When? When? When? When? When? When? When will we meet? I long to know What songs do you like? Where are you from? Charles, am I ugly? Charles, am I dumb? Charles, do you like me? Charles, could you love me? Charles... "Harkins absent The daylight darkens..." Ella, what kind of coward am I? This I cannot allow! Ella, what if they do their worst? I'll see you first We'll be together! Now, Ella, now, girl I shall show Your hands how to touch Eyes how to glow Lips how to kiss I've so much to show Then you will blossom Then you will grow And then—! Then—! Then—!
