[BILLY, spoken]
Say, tell me somethin'

[JULIE, spoken]
Hmm?

[BILLY, spoken]
Ain't you scared of me?

[JULIE, spoken]
I ain't scared

[BILLY, spoken]
What's your name? Julie somethin'?

[JULIE]
Julie Jordan

[BILLY WHISTLES]

[BILLY]
You're a queer one, Julie Jordan
Ain't you sorry that you didn't run away?
You can still go if you wanna

[JULIE]
I reckon that I care to choose to stay!
You couldn't take my money if I didn't have any
And I don't have a penny, that's true
And if I did have money
You couldn't take any
'Cause you'd ask an' I'd give it to you!
[BILLY]
You're a queer one, Julie Jordan
Ain't you ever had a fella you give money to?

[JULIE, spoken]
No!

[BILLY]
Ain't you ever had a fella at all?

[JULIE, spoken]
No!

[BILLY]
Well, you must have a fella you went walkin' with

[JULIE, spoken]
Yes!

[BILLY]
Where'd you walk?

[JULIE]
Nowhere special I recall

[BILLY]
In the woods?
[JULIE, spoken]
No!

[BILLY]
On the beach?

[JULIE, spoken]
No!

[BILLY]
Did you love him-

[JULIE, spoken]
No! Never loved no one, I told you that
(sung)
I'm never gonna marry if I was gonna marry
I wouldn't have to be such a stickler
But I'm never gonna marry
And a girl who don't marry
Has got to be much more partic'lar

[BILLY, spoken]
S'ppose I was to say that I would marry you?
You wouldn't marry anyone like me. Would you?

[JULIE, spoken]
Yes, I would! If I loved you!
It wouldn't any difference what you'd-
Even if I died for it
[BILLY, spoken]
How you know what you'd do if you loved me?
How you'd feel or anythin'?

[JULIE, spoken]
I don't know how I know

[BILLY, spoken]
Hmm

[JULIE, spoken]
Just the same I know how it'd be
If I loved you
(sung)
When I work in the mill weaving at the loom
I gaze absent-minded at the roof
And half the time the shuttle get twisted in the threads
And the warp would get mixed with the woof
If I loved you

[BILLY, spoken]
But you don't!

[JULIE, spoken]
No, I don't!
(sung)
But somehow I can see
Just exactly how I'd be
If I loved you
Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know
If I loved you
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go!
Longin' to tell you
But afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by!
Soon you'd leave me
Off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know how I loved you
If I loved you
(spoken)
I can smell 'em, can you, ah?
The blossoms. The wind brings 'em down!

[BILLY, spoken]
There ain't much wind tonight

[JULIE, spoken]
Hmm?

[BILLY, spoken]
Hardly any
(sung)
You can't hear a sound, not the turn of a leaf
Nor the fall of a wave hittin' the sand
The tide's creepin' up on the beach like a thief
Afraid to be caught stealin' the land!
On a night like this I start to wonder
What life is all about

[JULIE]
And I always say two heads are better than one to
Figure it out

[BILLY, spoken]
I don't need you or anybody helpin' me
Well, I figured out for myself
We ain't important. What are we?
A couple o' specks a nothin'
Look up there
(sung)
There's a hell of a lotta stars in the sky
And the sky's so big the sea looks small
And two little people, you and I
We don't count at all
(spoken)
You're diff'rent, alright! I don't know what it is
When you look up at me with that little kid's face, right?
Like you've trusted me
I wonder what it'd be like

[JULIE, spoken]
What?

[BILLY, spoken]
Nothin'
No, I know what it'd be like
It'd be awful! I can just see myself
(sung)
Kinda scrawny, and pale
Picking at my food
And love-sick like any other guy
I'd throw away my sweater, and dress up like a dude
In a dicky and a collar and a tie
If I loved you

[JULIE, spoken]
But you don't!

[BILLY, spoken]
No, I don't!
(sung)
But somehow I can see
Just exactly how I'd be
If I loved you
Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know
If I loved you
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go!
Longin' to tell you
But afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by!
Soon you'd leave me
Off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I loved you
If I loved you
(spoken)
I'm not a fella to marry anybody!
Even if a girl was foolish enough to want me to
I wouldn't!

[JULIE, spoken]
Don't worry about it, Billy!

[BILLY, spoken]
Who's worried?

[JULIE, spoken
You're right
About there bein' no wind
The blossoms are just comin' down by themselves
Just their time to, I reckon
