Do you Love me?

My choice for the number one Valentine's Day song of the year is 'Do you love me'
from the musical 'Fiddler on the Roof'
It was the first song I listened to [and watched] this morning.
Topol and Norma Crain sing the song in the movie
It made my day.....
(Tevye)
"Golde, I have decided to give Perchik permission to become engaged to our daughter, Hodel."

(Golde)

"What??? He's poor! He has nothing, absolutely nothing!"

(Tevye)

"He's a good man, Golde.

I like him. And what's more important, Hodel likes him. Hodel loves him.

So what can we do?

It's a new world... A new world.

 Love.
Golde..."

Do you love me?

(Golde)
Do I what?

(Tevye)
Do you love me?

(Golde)
Do I love you?

With our daughters getting married
And this trouble in the town
You're upset, you're worn out
Go inside, go lie down!


Maybe it's indigestion

(Tevye)

"Golde I'm asking you a question..."

Do you love me?

(Golde)

You're a fool

(Tevye)

"I know..."

But do you love me?

(Golde)

Do I love you?

For twenty-five years I've washed your clothes
Cooked your meals, cleaned your house
Given you children, milked the cow

After twenty-five years, why talk about love right now?

(Tevye)

Golde, The first time I met you
Was on our wedding day

I was scared
(Golde)

I was shy
(Tevye)
I was nervous

(Golde)
So was I

(Tevye)
But my father and my mother
Said we'd learn to love each other

And now I'm asking, Golde

Do you love me?

(Golde)
I'm your wife

(Tevye)
"I know..."
But do you love me?

(Golde)

Do I love him?


For twenty-five years I've lived with him
Fought him, starved with him


Twenty-five years my bed is his

If that's not love, what is?

(Tevye)
Then you love me?

(Golde)
I suppose I do

(Tevye)
And I suppose I love you too

(Both)
It change a thing
But even so

After twenty-five years
It's nice to know
