Like No Man I've Ever Seen

JANE

This man is not like other men

Like no man I've ever seen

You'll have to meet him to believe it

I know just how you'll be

Oh he defies all gravity

PROFESSOR PORTER

Oh, Jane can this be true

JANE

Like no man I've ever seen

PROFESSOR PORTER

My word

JANE

He seems to fly

Defying everything

PROFESSOR PORTER

No

JANE

Like something in your dreams

PROFESSOR PORTER

Good Heavens!

JANE/ PROFESSOR PORTER

Can this be true?

PROFESSOR PORTER

This man he sounds extraordinary!

JANE

He is father!

PROFESSOR PORTER

I'd love to meet him too

JANE

You shall...

PROFESSOR PORTER

Well does he talk?

Like you or I can?

JANE

Well...

PROFESSOR PORTER

And what do you two do?

JANE

I know this, he seems at one with nature

PROFESSOR PORTER

That's good

JANE

Like no man I ever seen

PROFESSOR PORTER

Hmm, he sound quiet nice

JANE

It seems he learned from all around him

They're like his friends you see

PROFESSOR PORTER

Really?!

JANE / PROFESSOR PORTER

Can this be true?

JANE

Oh father, sometimes I wake at night

And see him there

He lightens up the darkness you will see

PROFESSOR PORTER

Oh I can see...

Oh daughter what's this I hear?

It seems he fills your heart with joy

I see the symptoms in those eyes

I feel so happy, and proud of you inside...

So we both made our discoveries

JANE

Yes!

PROFESSOR PORTER

Though, I'll keep mine to myself

JANE

I'm not following you daddy.

PROFESSOR PORTER

But if my instincts serve correctly,

I may have lost my girl.

JANE

Oh no no no no no!

JANE/PROFESSOR PORTER

Oh this is what we've waited for

We always knew one day

This is the link we've both been searching for

It's just a breath away

Can this be true?

Can this be true?

We'll see!
