"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 scared
i was shy
i was nervous
so was i
but 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 do
and i suppose i love you too
it doesn't change a thing
but even so
after twenty-five years
it's nice to know."
- do you love me?, fiddler on the roof.
