from the musical "fiddler on the roof"

How can I hope to make you understand
Why I do, what I do
Why I must travel to a distant land
Far from the home I love.

Once I was happily content to be
As I was, where I was
Close to the people who are close to me
Here in the home I love

Who could see that a man would come
Who would change the shape of my dreams...
Helpless now I stand with him,
Watching older dreams grow dim.

Oh, what a melancholy choice this is
Wanting home, wanting him.
Closing my heart to every hope but his,
Leaving the home I love.

There where my heart has settled long ago
I must go, I must go...

Who could imagine I'd be wandering so
Far from the home I love
Yet; there with my love,
I'm home.

(sry random punctuation of mine XP but yes, nice song....!!!!!)

bleah shall stop rambling and go find a nice recording of the song, hahaha
