Stephen Sondheim
Cinderella at the Grave
[CINDERELLA]
I've been good and I've been kind, Mother
Doing only what i learned from you
Why then am I left behind, Mother?
Is there something more that I should do?
What is wrong with me, Mother?
Something must be wrong
I wish
[CINDERELLA'S MOTHER]
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
You shall have your wish
[CINDERELLA]
Shiver and quiver, little tree
Silver and gold throw down on me
I'm off to get my wish
