Stephen Sondheim
West Side Story Medley (From ”West Side Story”)
[Maria]
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria, Maria
I've just met a girl named Maria
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same to me
Maria!
I've just kissed a girl named Maria
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound can be
Maria!
Say it loud and there's music playing
Say it soft and it's almost like praying
Maria
I'll never stop saying
Maria
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Say it loud and there's music playing
Say it soft and it's almost like praying
Maria
I'll never stop saying
Maria
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Maria
[Something's Coming]
Could be
Who knows?
There's something due any day
I will know right away
Soon as it shows
It may come cannon balling down through the sky
Gleam in its eye
Bright as a rose
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Under a tree
I got a feeling there's a miracle due
Gonna come true
Coming to me
Could it be? Yes, it could
Something's coming, something good
If I can wait
Something's coming, I don't know what it is
But it is gonna be great
With a click, with a shock
Phone'll jingle, door'll knock
Open the latch
Something's coming, don't know when, but it's soon
Catch the moon
One-handed catch
Around the corner
Or whistling down the river
Come on, deliver
To me
Will it be? Yes, it will
Maybe just by holding still
It'll be there
Come on, something, come on in, don't be shy
Meet a guy
Pull up a chair
The air is humming
And something great is coming
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight
[Tonight]
Tonight, tonight
Won't be just any night
Tonight there will be no morning star
Tonight, tonight
I'll see my love tonight
And for us stars will stop where they are
Today the minutes seem like hours
The hours go so slowly
And still the sky is light
Oh moon, grow bright
And make this endless day endless night
Tonight
Today the minutes seem like hours
The hours go so slowly
And still the sky is light
Oh moon, grow bright
And make this endless day endless night
Tonight
