The Fantasticks - I Can See It Lyrics

1960 Off-Broadway
The Fantasticks the Musical - I Can See It Lyrics

The song is written by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones.

MATT & EL GALLO:
Beyond that road lies a shining world.
Beyond that road lies despair.
Beyond that road lies a world that's gleaming.
People who are scheming.
Beauty!
Hunger!
Glory!
Sorrow!
Never a pain or care.
He's liable to find a couple of surprises there.

There's a song he must sing;
It's a well-known song.
But the tune is bitter
And it doesn't take long to learn!

I can learn!
That pretty little world that beams so bright.
That pretty little world that seems delightful
Can burn! Burn! Burn!
Let me learn! Let me learn!

For, I can see it!
Shining somewhere!
Bright lights somewhere invite me to come there
And learn!
And I'm ready!

I can hear it!
Sirens singing!
Inside my ear I hear them all singing
Come learn!

Who knows, maybe
All the visions I can see
May be waiting just for me
To say take me there, and

Make me see it!
Make me feel it!
I know it's so
I know that it really
May be!
Let me learn!

I can see it!
(He can see it!)
Shining somewhere!
(Shining somewhere!)

Those lights not only glitter
But once there they burn!

I can hear it!
(He can hear it!)
Sirens singing!
(Sirens singings!)

Don't listen close
Or maybe you'll never
Return!

Who know, maybe
All the visions that I (he) sees
May be waiting just for me (him) to
Say

I can see it!
Say
Shining somewhere!
Say
Let me see it!
Say
Take me there
And make me a part of it!

Make me see
Those shining sights inside of me!
(Make him see it!)

Make me feel
Those lights inside
Don't lie to me!
(Make him feel it!)

I (he) know(s) it's so --
I (he) know(s) that it really may be!

Just what I always waited for!
This is what my life's created for!

Let me (him) learn!
