Do You Love Me ?

Do You Love Me?

Fiddler on the Roof

Song by Len Cariou and Sara Kestelman

Lyrics

Golde…”Do you love me?Do I what?Do you love me?Do I love you?
With our daughters getting married
And this trouble in the town
You’re upset, you’re worn out
Go inside, go lie down!
Maybe it’s indigestion”Golde I’m asking you a question…”Do you love me?You’re a fool”I know…”But do you love me?Do I love you?
For twenty-five years I’ve washed your clothes
Cooked your meals, cleaned your house
Given you children, milked the cow
After twenty-five years, why talk about love right now?Golde, The first time I met you
Was on our wedding day
I was scaredI was shyI was nervousSo was IBut my father and my mother
Said we’d learn to love each other
And now I’m asking, Golde
Do you love me?I’m your wife”I know…”
But do you love me?Do I love him?
For twenty-five years I’ve lived with him
Fought with him, starved with him
Twenty-five years my bed is his
If that’s not love, what is?Then you love me?I suppose I doAnd I suppose I love you tooIt doesn’t change a thing
But even so
After twenty-five years
It’s nice to know
