From West Side Story, isn't it called "Somewhere"?

Lyrics from a Google search:

SOMEWHERE
Originally from the 1957 Broadway musical, West Side Story
Music by Leonard Bernstein & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
This version taken from Barbra Streisand's 1985 album, The Broadway Album

Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere...

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere...

There's a time for us
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn
Time to care
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere...

There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand
And I'll take you there
Somehow
Someday
Somewhere....

RtS

Is this snobbery?

If people sing it for their own amusement, as people do, then it's folk. The difficulty I have is not that any song can be "folk" (under the right circumstances) but that someone can describe themselves as "a professional folk singer".

Ian, you must know by now nothing I say is ever serious! With my voice and lack of musical talent the last thing I can afford to be is a musical snob! I don't consider myself a folkie. I like musicals as well as jazz,skiffle and blues,50s rock and roll and some folk. My aside was referring back to "what isn't folk thread" and merely a statement of fact, wasn't it?
