Pat Suzuki
Pat Suzuki born Chiyoko Suzuki(Japanese: 鈴木千代子, September 22, 1930, Cressey, California) is an American popular singer and actress, who is best known for her role in the original Broadway production of the musical Flower Drum Song, and her performance of the song "I Enjoy Being a Girl" in the show.
Career
Suzuki is a Nisei or second-generation Japanese American. She was nicknamed "Chibi", which is Japanese for 'short person' or 'small child', as the youngest sister.
A few months after the United States entered World War II, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt forced the Suzuki family and more than 110,000 other Japanese American residents of the U.S. Pacific coast states, to evacuate their homes and enter American concentration or detention camps. The Suzukis were sent to the Granada War Relocation Center in Colorado.
During the early 1950s, she attended college at San Jose State University. After moving to New York, she obtained a part in a touring production of the play, The Teahouse of the August Moon.
We Kiss in a Shadow
"We Kiss in a Shadow" is a show tune from the 1951 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, The King and I.
In this song, Tuptim and Lun Tha declare their love for each other, even though they fear that the King of Siam would know about it.
In the original Broadway production it is sung by Doretta Morrow and Larry Douglas. In the 1956 film version it was sung by Reuben Fuentes dubbing for Carlos Rivas and Leona Gordon dubbing for Rita Moreno.

We Kiss in a Shadow
by: The King and I Soundtrack[LUN THA]
We kiss in a shadow,
We hide from the moon,
Our meetings are few,
And over too soon.
We speak in a whisper,
Afraid to be heard;
When people are near,
We speak not a word.
Alone in our secret,
Together we sigh,
For one smiling day to be free
To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky:
"Behold and believe what you see!
Behold how my lover loves me!"
[TUPTIM]
We speak in a whisper,
Afraid to be heard;
When people are near,
[LUN THA]
We speak not a word.
Alone in our secret,
Together we sigh,
For one smiling day to be free
[BOTH]
To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky:
"Behold and believe what you see!
Behold how my lover loves me!"
[TUPTIM]
To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky:
"Behold and believe what you see!
Behold how my lover loves me!"
