i've_seen_it_all
selmasongs I've seen it all
i have seen
the trees
I've seen
the willow leaves
dancing
in the breeze

I've seen a man killed
by his best friend,
And lives
that were over
before they were spent.

I've seen what I was -
I know what I'll be
I've seen it all -
there is no more to see!

You haven't seen elephants, kings or Peru!
(I'm happy to say I had better to do)
What about China?
Have you seen the Great Wall?
(All walls are great,
if the roof doesn't fall!)

And the man
you will marry?
The home
you will share?

((To be honest, I really don't care...))

You've never been
to Niagara Falls?
((I have seen water, its water, that's all...))

The Eiffel Tower,
the Empire State?
((My pulse was as high on my very first date!))

Your grandson's hand
as he plays
with your hair?
((To be honest,
I really don't care...))

I've seen it all,
I've seen the dark
I've seen
the brightness
in one little spark.

I've seen what I chose
and I've seen what I need,
And that is enough,
to want more
would be greed.

I've seen what I was
and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all -
there is no more to see!

You've seen it all
and all you have seen
You can always review on your own little screen
The light and the dark,
the big and the small
Just keep in mind -
you need no more at all

You've seen what you were and know what you'll be
You've seen it all -
there is no more to see

Beautiful song.

The movie was fucking awesome the second time I saw it. The first time, I totally missed the irony. I at first thought "why end it like that? (No spoiler) this was supposed to be a musical, damnit! Happy songs!..."

The second time, it clicked. The reason wht it ended as such was to be completely different than any other musical. The songs truly weren't all that happy, and the storyline itself would made Sinatra cry....

A friend burned a remix of the song for me to CD. It sounded so huge....

Perhaps it's time to look for the DVD....
