Singin' in the Rain:
Introduction
Don: "This is the proper setting."
Kathy: "Why it's just an empty stage."
Don: "At first glance, yes. But wait a second. . . . A beautiful sunset . . . mist from the distant mountains . . . coloured lights in a garden . . . a lady is standing on her balcony . . . in a rose trellised bower . . . flooded with moonlight . . . we add five hundred thousand kilowatts of stardust . . . a soft summer breeze . . . and . . . you sure look lovely in the moonlight, Kathy."
Kathy: "Now that you have the proper setting . . . can you say it?"
Don: "I'll try."
Singin' in the Rain:
The song
Life was a song, you came along(Arthur Freed and Herb Brown)
I've laid awake the whole night through,
If I'd ever dared, to think you cared,
This is what I'd say to you,You were meant for me,
And I was meant for you
Nature patterned you and when she was done
You were all the sweet things, rolled up in oneYou're like a plaintive melody
That never lets me free
But I'm content, the angels must have sent you
And they meant you just for meBut I'm content,
The angels must have sent you,
And they meant you just for me.
