"What Am I Doing Here?"

I listened to Caught Live + 5 to-day and noticed a small thing about "What Am I Doing Here?"  In the line "Ev'ryone's dream is deep within," the three syllables of "Ev'ryone's" are all sung to different pitches (C B A), musically giving a sense of the breadth of "ev'ryone."
