Overture Lyrics


It's wonderful what a smile can hide
If the teeth shine bright and it's nice and wide
It's so magical, all you can keep inside
And if you bury it deep no one can find a thing, no
So come on now, open wide, open up now
Don't you think it's time
To look back at that boy on his way to school
Such a heavy heart, such a heavy jewel hiding
Something that one day he'll sell
But now if no one shows, no one tells a thing, no
So come on love, open wide, open up now
Don't you think it's time
Now after all these years you are at last opening
Was it worth all that war just to win?
So caught up in the speed of the days in your sin
Don't forget how the story begins, no
Don't forget now

Now I'm seeing all your lovers and enemies
They've been turning their keys so full of need
All trying to see that sure you keep
What makes it shine, what makes it mine
But I don't care, no
Just come on now, open wide, open up now
There's so much love for what you'll find
But what will you find?
Now after all these years you are at last opening
Was it worth all that war just to win?
If it was can you take me back to where it begins?
Come and take me back to where it begins
Come and take me back to where it begins
Come on, open wide and let some light in
Let us in, let us in

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Leonard Bernstein, a unique source of creative energy in America’s music throughout his entire adult lifetime, was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, on August 25, 1918. He was given piano lessons as a boy and had his pre-college education at the Garrison and Boston Latin schools. Going on to Harvard University, he worked with Walter Piston, Edward Burlingame Hill, and A. Tillman Merritt, among others. By the time of his graduation, in 1939, he had made an unofficial conducting debut (his own incidental music to The Birds), and directed and performed in Marc Blitzstein’s The Cradle Will Rock.
