What About Love?
The Color Purple (Musical)
[Celie]
Is that me who's floating away
Lifted up to the clouds by a kiss
Never felt nothing like this
[Shug]
Is that me I don't recognise
'Cause the one thing I knew all about
I had it all figured out
[Celie] / [Shug]
But what about trust? / (what about trust?)
What about tenderness? / (tenderness)
[Both]
What about tears when I'm happy?
What about wings when I fall?
I want you to be a story for me that I can believe in
Forever
[Celie] / [Shug]
So what about / (what about)
[Both]
Love
Will you be my light in the storm
Will I see a new world in your eyes
With you my whole spirit rise
[Celie] / [Shug]
And what about hope? / (what about hope?)
What about joy? / (what about joy?)
[Both]
What about tears when I'm happy?
What about wings when I fall?
I want you to be a story for me that I can believe in
Forever
[Shug] / [Celie]
And what about / (what about)
What about / (what about)
[Both]
Love
[Celie]
What about
[Shug] / [Celie]
And what about / (What about)
What about / (What about)
[Both]
Love
You and me
[Shug] / [Celie]
You and me / (you and me)
Oh, now / (sing to me)
[Both]
What about
[Shug] / [Celie]
And what about / (what about)
[Both]
Love
