The King and I: I Have Dreamed Songtext
von Gertrude Lawrence

It′s a very ancient saying
But a true and honest thought
That if you become a teacher
By your pupils you'll be taught
As a teacher, I′ve been learning
And forgive me if I boast
But I've now become an expert
On the subject I like most
Getting to know you

Getting to know you
Getting to know all about you
Getting to like you
Getting to hope you like me
Getting to know you
Putting it my way but nicely
You are precisely my cup of tea


Getting to know you
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I′m bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I′m learning about you
Day by day

My cup of tea

Getting to know you
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I′m bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day

Getting to know you
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you
Getting to know what to say
Haven′t you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I′m learning about you
Day by day
