Stephen Sondheim
Your Eyes Are Blue
[MAN]
Once upon a time
It happened, there lived a boy
Who loved a girl
Your eyes are blue...

And every single night
He'd see her across the way
I'd want to say—
He'd want to say
"Your eyes are blue
And I love you"

But, never had he spoken
Never had he dared
Beautiful as she was
I was—he was
Scared

Then, suddenly one day
He met her, and he could see
Her eyes were blue
As they could be
What did he do?
Well...
You tell me
Once upon a time—

[WOMAN]
Let me try:
"There lived a boy..."

[MAN]
"Who loved a girl..."

[WOMAN]
"Whose eyes were—
Blue!"
And every single night
She'd see him across the way
She hoped he'd say
"Your eyes are blue
And I love you"
And yet she knew

There was a wall between them
Built around her heart
This was their dilemma
Keeping them a-
Part
Then suddenly one day
She met him
He looked so tall
[MAN]
He felt so small

[WOMAN]
What did he do

[MAN]
What could he do

[MAN & WOMAN]
To break the wall?

And that was all
