The Sondheim Lyrics Chain

[MartinG]

...We were waiting for a carriage...

...Newsboys...

...Suddenly there's shouting in the street...

...Lizzie's sheet...

"The president's been shot."

...I'll remember it forever...

...And I thought:

Where I was, what I was doing...

Something just broke
 
"The president's been shot."

My God

 
I was up near the ridge

Plowing...
We were working at the plant...

I was halfway through correcting the exams...

[scenicdesign71]

Sometimes people leave you
Halfway through the wood.
Do not let it grieve you:
No one leaves for good.

[Leighton]

Hey, fella
Feel like you're a failure?
Bailiff on your tail? Your
Wife run off for good?
Hey, fella, feel misunderstood?
C'mere and kill a president

[MartinG]

A boy like that who'd kill your brother, 
Forget that boy and find another, 
One of your own kind, 
Stick to your own kind! 

A boy like that will give you sorrow, 
You'll meet another boy tomorrow...

[Leighton]

Say toodle-oo to sorrow
Mm-hm.
And fare thee well, ennui.
Bye-bye
You're gonna love tomorrow
As long as your tomorrow is spent with me.

[KathyB]

Tomorrow I'll be floating in the Hudson with the other garbage...

[Chris L]

In the middle of the world we float,
In the middle of the sea.
The realities remain remote
In the middle of the sea.
Kings are burning somewhere,
Wheels are turning somewhere,
Trains are being run,
Wars are being won,
Things are being done
Somewhere out there, not here.

[Leighton]

Who out there could love you more than I?
What out there that I cannot supply?
Stay with me
Stay with me, the world is dark and wild
Stay a child while you can be a child
With me

[scenicdesign71]

Take me to the world that's real;
Show me how it's done.
Teach me how to laugh, to feel,
Move me to the sun!

[valmont]

The sun won't set
It's fruitless to hope or to fret.
It's dark as it's going to get.

[KathyB]

Well, you never know if it's going to  /  run

[MartinG]

I've run the gamut.
A to Z.
Three cheers and dammit,
C'est la vie.

[AmyG]

Something in them cheers the air.

Pretty women
Silhouetted
Stay within you,
Glancing,
Stay forever,

[Bobster]

I'll remember it forever...

And I thought--

--where I was, what I was doing...

Something just broke.

"The president's been shot."

[valmont]

Quick, Jerome,
Get the president,
There's a crazy man
On my TV screen
