The Bad And The Beautiful
Composer(s): David Raskin



Love is wrong
It sings a hopeless song
It longs for bitter disappointment and tears... and tears
It calls to all that used to be
And it yearns for someone who was tender... but untrue

Love is blind
It’s helplessly inclined
To bind itself to discontentment and fears…and fears
It dwells on nights that might have been
Love needs nothing more to do

My darling...

So, I hold each little token... we knew... we knew
Endlessly I unfold, each word we’ve spoken
We two... we two

Love is mad
It’s beautiful but bad
It gladly weeps when disillusion appears... appears
And so…I cling to yesterdays
While I’m hopelessly in love
While I’m hopelessly in love
With you
