WHERE IS THE WARMTH ?
From "The Baker's Wife"
(Stephen Schwartz)

Patti LuPone

Also recorded by: Judy Kaye


Look at him, that's a face
That's a profile to admire
Look at him, that's a torso that's rare
When I look at him, how I burn to be touching him
The fire is there, but where is the warmth?

Look at me, don't you think we fit beautifully together?
Look at us, can't you see how we shine?
When you look at us, do you notice I'm shivering?
The weather is fine, but where is the warmth?

Since I grow feverish with the flush that comes every time he holds me
Naturally, you'd suppose I'd be warm when I'm hot
Well, I'm not

And just look at me, you'd think this the cruellest of Decembers
Look at me, you would think we had snow
Then he looks at me, and for a moment I melt again
The embers do glow, but Oh!
Where is the warmth?

When I look at him, how I burn to be touching him
The fire is there, but where is the warmth?

Since I grow feverish with the flush that comes every time he holds me
Naturally, you'd suppose I'd be warm when I'm hot
Well, I'm not

And just look at me, you would think this the cruellest of Decembers
Look at me, you would think we had snow
Then he looks at me, and for a moment I melt again
The embers do glow, but Oh!
Where is the warmth?
The fire is there, but where is the warmth?
