YOU WILL KNOW

GRETCHEN
CAN YOU IMAGINE WORKING IN THE FIELDS,
WHEN THE WINTER SNOW AND RAIN BEGAN TO FALL.
WE HAD TO SAVE THE CORN,
SO ARM IN ARM WE FOUGHT THE STORM.
BY MORNING IT WAS CLEAR,
WE HAD NEARLY LOST IT ALL.

WHEN YOUR PAPA AND I WERE FIRST MARRIED,
ALL WE HAD WAS ONE ANOTHER AND A DREAM.
TIMES WERE HARD AND LIFE WAS ROUGH,
BUT WE ALWAYS HAD ENOUGH.
HE TOLD ME THINGS ARE NEVER QUITE AS BAD
AS WHAT THEY SEEM.
WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT, YOU WILL KNOW.
TAKE YOUR TIME, LET YOUR HEART LEAD THE WAY.
WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT, LOVE WILL GROW.
DON'T YOU WORRY, TAKE IT DAY BY DAY.

KATRINA
Why do I feel this way? Why does he say the things he says? Why does he have to look that way?

GRETCHEN
Just follow your heart.

KATRINA
IT'S TRUE; HE'S HANDSOME AND CHARMING!
AND HIS SMILE, DISARMING,
BUT IS HE REALLY RIGHT FOR ME?

WHEN I'M WITH HIM, THE SKY SEEMS BLUER.
WHEN I'M WITH HIM, MY TROUBLES SEEM FEWER.

COULD HE BE THE MAN THAT I'VE BEEN DREAMING OF?
AM I READY TO FALL IN LOVE?

KATRINA
Mama, I've written Ichabod a personal letter. I've invited him to the Harvest Ball.

GRETCHEN
Hot molasses!

KATRINA
Ezekiel has promised to deliver it to him, after he does a few errands for his folks.
Mama! Did you hear that? It sounded like…something rustling in our rose bushes!

GRETCHEN
Oh, it's probably a few amorous possums hot on a moonlit prowl. In, in, in! Mama needs for you to memorize her sumptuous pork 'n parsnip recipe.

KATRINA
Mama! You're something else.

GRETCHEN

WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT,
YOU WILL KNOW. TAKE YOUR TIME, LET YOUR HEART LEAD THE WAY.

WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT,
LOVE WILL GROW! DON'T YOU WORRY, TAKE IT DAY BY DAY.

DON'T YOU WORRY, TAKE IT
DAY BY DAY.
