Do You Love Me?

Golde, I've decided to give Perchik permission
 To become engaged to our daughter Hodel
 What?!
 He's poor! He has nothing!
 Absolutely nothing!
 He's a good man, Golde
 I like him
 And what's more important
 Hodel likes him
 Hodel loves him
 So what can we do?
 It's a new world! A new world! Love!
 Golde
 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?) Well?
 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?) Well?
 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
