Something Wonderful

from Obrigada by Alison Crockett

/

about

The longer leap is on “Something Wonderful,” the Rodgers and Hammerstein aria from The King and I. It’s not a song one immediately associates with playfulness, but Crockett manages to inject the newly grooving lyric with grit—and a charming scat break in the middle that’s followed by an equally charming piano solo from Felipe Silviera.

Mike West, Washington City Paper

lyrics

He will not always say what you would have him say
But now and then he'll say something wonderful
The thoughtless things he'll do will hurt and worry you
Then all at once he'll do something wonderful

He has a thousand dreams that won't come true
You know that he believes in them and that's enough for you

You'll always go along
Defend him when he's wrong
And tell him when he's strong he is wonderful
He'll always need your love and so he'll get you love
A man who needs your love can be wonderful
