Stephen Sondheim
Cinderella at the Grave
[NARRATOR, spoken]
Deep within the woods
Cinderella had planted branch at the grave of her mother
And she visited there so often, and wept so much
That her tears watered it until it had become a magnificent tree
[CINDERELLA, spoken]
I wish
[CINDERELLA'S MOTHER, spoken]
What is it that you wish, child?
(sung)
Do you know what you wish?
Are you certain what you wish is what you want?
If you know what you want
Then make a wish
Ask the tree
And you shall have your wish
