The Color Purple Musical - What About Love? Lyrics

"What About Love?" is a song from the Broadway musical The Color Purple performed by Cynthia Erivo (Celie) and Jennifer Hudson (Shug).

CELIE:
Harpo make a lot of money if you stay here and sing.

SHUG:
Yeah, but now you got me feelin' so much better,
I got to get back on the road, make
Some money, you know.

CELIE:
When you have to go?

SHUG:
In the morning.
But I'll be back, too, in a month or so.
You'll see. Nobody ever love me like you.
Shug kisses celie on the lips.

SHUG:
Damn, girl.

CELIE:
Is that me who's floating away?
Lifted up to the clouds by a kiss,
Never felt nothin' like this.

SHUG:
Is that me I don't recognize?
Love's the one thing I knew all about,
I had it all figured out.

CELIE:
But what about trust?

SHUG:
What about trust?

CELIE:
What about tenderness?

SHUG:
Tenderness?

CELIE & SHUG:
What about tears when I'm happy?
What about wings when I fall?
I want you to be
A story for me
That I can believe in forever.

CELIE:
And what about

SHUG:
What about

CELIE & SHUG:
Love?
Will you be my light in the storm?
Will I see a new world in your eyes?
With you my whole spirit rise.

CELIE:
And what about hope?

SHUG:
What about hope?

CELIE:
What about joy?

SHUG:
What about joy?

CELIE & SHUG:
What about tears when i'm happy?
What about wings when i fall?
I want you to be
A story for me
That i can believe in forever.

SHUG:
And what about

CELIE:
What about

SHUG:

CELIE & SHUG:
