Stephen Sondheim
Merrily We Roll Along
COMPANY
Yesterday is done
See the pretty countryside
Merrily we roll along
Roll along
Bursting with dreams
Traveling's the fun
Flashing by the countryside
Everybody merrily merrily
Catching at dreams
Rolling along
Rolling along
Rolling along
Dreams don't die so keep an eye on your dreams
And before you know where you are, there you are
Time goes by and hopes go dry but you still can try for your dreams
(Tend your dreams)How does it happen?
(Dreams take time)When does it disappear
(Time goes by)How can you get so far off the track
Why don't you turn around and go back
(Bend your dreams)How does it happen?
Where is the moment?
(With the road)How can you miss it, isn't it clear?
How can you let it slip out of gear?
How did you ever get there from here?
(You roll) How does it happen?
How does it happen? (You just roll)
When does it disappear?
Isn't it always clear? (Everybody roll)
How does it start to go?
Does it slip away slow?
So you never even notice it's happening?
How did you get to be here?
What was the moment?
How did you get to be here?
Pick yourself a road, get to know the countryside
Soon enough you're merrily merrily
Practicing dreams
Dreams that will explode
Waking up the countryside
Making you feel merrily merrily
What can go wrong?
(Rolling along) Some roads are softer and some are bumpy
Some roads you really fly
Some rides are rough and leave you jumpy
Why make it tough by getting grumpy?
Plenty of roads to try
Some roads are soft and some are bumpy
Some roads you really fly
Some rides are rough and leave you jumpy
Why make it tough by getting grumpy?
Plenty of roads to try
Never look back (some roads you really fly)
Never look back
Never look back
Never look back
Never look back
Never look
How did you get to be here?
What was the moment?
How did you get to be here?
Bending with the road
Gliding through the countryside
Merrily we roll along roll along
Catching at dreams
Dreams that will explode
Waking up the countryside
Everybody merrily merrily
Sing 'em your song
Rolling along
Rolling along
Rolling along
Rolling a-
