I Don't Want To Know 

From: Dear World
Lyrics & Music: Jerry Herman
Singing: Karen Morrow
Piano: Don Pippin
I DON'T WANT TO KNOW
If music is no longer lovely
If laughter is no longer lilting
If lovers are no longer loving
Then I don't want to know
If summer is no longer carefree
If children are no longer singing
If people are no longer happy
Then I don't want to know
Let me hide ev'ry truth from my eyes with the back of my hand
Let me live in a world full of lies with my head in the sand
For my memories all are exciting
My memories all are enchanted
My memories burn in my head with a steady glow
So if, my friends, if love is dead
I don't want to know
