What Could Be Better by Carmen Cusack, Paul Alexander Nolan & Bright Star Original Broadway Ensemble
About
Jimmy Ray takes Alice out dancing despite objections from both of their parents. The two wander away from the crowd and sing together, holding each other. What started as cuddling escalates.
What Could Be Better Lyrics
JIMMY RAY:
What could be better
Than holding you close to me like this?
ALICE:
I'll be in trouble if I stay out late again
JIMMY RAY:
Ten more minutes in my arms
Won't do any harm
ALICE:
What could be better
Than holding you close to me?
I can't imagine improving this moment at all
JIMMY RAY:
If I asked you for a kiss
ALICE:
How could I resist?
BOTH:
If you said this was heaven
I would not disagree
COMPANY:
What could be better
Than holding you close to me like this?
ALICE:
I dreamed of it every day
Since I turned sixteen
BOTH:
Lightning strike me if I'm lying
You're all that I need
ALICE, JIMMY RAY, and COMPANY:
Let me stay here forever
I don't want to go on
COMPANY:
What could be better
Than holding you close to me like this?
When there is music and dancing
And stars up above
BOTH:
Lightning strike me if I'm lying
You're the one I love
