My Fair Lady

Yesterday, I re-saw "My fair Lady (1964)" . This movie is directed by George Cukor. The story of movie so heart touching that it will make you move. Lyrics are by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederic Loewe. Whole movie is so mellifluous that hardly you will move your eyes from the screen. The pieces of songs are very skillfully weaved leaving no chance for complains. Lyrics of all the songs are awfully amazing but I liked this one most- "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face"

Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!
I've grown accustomed to her face.
She almost makes the day begin.
I've grown accustomed to the tune that
She whistles night and noon.
Her smiles, her frowns,
Her ups, her downs
Are second nature to me now;
Like breathing out and breathing in.
I was serenely independent and content before we met;
Surely I could always be that way again-
And yet
I've grown accustomed to her look;
Accustomed to her voice;
Accustomed to her face.

But I'm so used to hear her say
"Good morning" ev'ry day.
Her joys, her woes,
Her highs, her lows,
Are second nature to me now;
Like breathing out and breathing in.
I'm very grateful she's a woman
And so easy to forget;
Rather like a habit
One can always break-
And yet,
I've grown accustomed to the trace
Of something in the air;
Accustomed to her face.
