Stephen Sondheim
Take Me to the World / Starting Here, Starting Now
Let me see the world with clouds
Take me to the world
Out where I can push through crowds
Take me to the world
A world that smiles
With streets instead of aisles
Where I can walk for miles with you
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
Just hold my hand whenever we arrive
Take me to the world where I can be alive
Starting here, starting now
When we walk, we'll walk together
Year by year, starting here
Now when you sleep
You will dream a dream
That's free from care
For now when you wake
I'll be there
So be still, take my hand
For the greatest journey
Heaven can allow
Starting love
Starting here
Starting now
We shall see the world come true
We shall have the world
I won't be afraid with you
We shall have the world
I'll hold your hand and know I'm not alone
We shall have the world to keep
Such a lovely world we'll weep
We shall have the world forever
Starting here
Starting now
Starting now
