Stephen Sondheim
I’ve Got You to Lean On
[CORA]
Whenever my world falls apart
I never lose hope or lose heart
Whatever the form
Of the storm
That may brew
I've got you to lean on

When everything's hopelessly gray
You'll notice I'm youthfully gay!
There isn't a sing-
Le great thing
I can't do
Not with you to lean on
Darlings, you!

With you to depend on, I'll never quit
There isn't a murder I couldn't commit
I feel like a love-
Ly girl of
Twenty-two!
I've got you to lean on!

[SCHUB & MAGRUDER]
I've got you to lean on!
[COOLEY]
I've got you to lean on!

[CORA]
Whenever my world turns to dust
I've always got someone to trust
Whatever the sort
Of support
That I need
I've got you to lean on

When everything's hollow and black
I've always got you at my back

[SCHUB, COOLEY & MAGRUDER]
No matter how hollow
We'll follow
Your lead
And with us to lean on
You'll succeed

[CORA]
What comfort it is to have always known
That if they should catch me I won't go alone
I'll always give credit
Where credit
Is due
I've—
I've got you to lean on!
[SCHUB, COOLEY & MAGRUDER]
We've got you to lean on!

[CORA]
I've got you to lean on!
Darlings, you!
