Stephen Sondheim
Waltz Medley
[Verse 1]
Do I hear a waltz?
Very odd, but I hear a waltz
Such lovely Blue Danube-y music
How can you be still?
I can't hear a waltz
Oh, my Lord, there it goes again!
Why is nobody dancing in the street?
Can't they hear the beat?
Magical, mystical, miracle
Yes it's true
Don't you see?
Things are impossibly lyrical
Can't be you
Must be me
I do hear a waltz
I see you and I hear a waltz
It's what I've been waiting for
All my life, to hear a waltz
*Instrumental*
[Verse 2]
It's a grand night for singing
The moon is flying high
And somewhere a bird
Who is bound he'll be heard
Is throwing his heart at the sky
It's a grand night for singing
The stars are bright above
The еarth is a-glow
And to add to the show
I think I am falling in love
Falling, falling in love
Thе earth is a-glow
And to add to the show
I think I am falling in love
Falling, falling in love
[Verse 3]
I'm as corny as Kansas in August
I'm as normal as blueberry pie
No more a smart little girl with no heart
I have found me a wonderful guy
I am in a conventional dither
With a conventional star in my eye
And you will note there's a lump in my throat
When I speak of that wonderful guy
I'm as trite and as gay as a daisy in May
A cliché comin' true
I'm bromidic and bright
As a moon-happy night
Pourin' light on the dew
I'm as corny as Kansas in August
High as a flag on the Fourth of July
If you'll excuse an expression I use
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love with a wonderful guy
[Verse 4]
I expect everyone of my crowd to make fun
Of my proud protestations of faith in romance
And they'll say I'm naïve as a babe to believe
Every fable I hear from a person in pants
Fearlessly I'll face them and argue their doubts away
Loudly I'll sing about flowers in Spring
Flatly I'll stand on my little flat feet and say
Love is a grand and a beautiful thing
I'm not ashamed to reveal
This world famous feelin' I feel
I'm as corny as Kansas in August
High as a flag on the Fourth of July
If you'll excuse an expression I use
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love with a wonderful guy
[Verse 5]
Out of my dreams and into your arms
I long to fly
I will come as evening comes
To woo a waiting sky
Out of my dreams and into the hush
Of falling shadows
When the mist is low
And stars are breakin' through
Then out of my dreams I'll go
Into a dream with you
Then out of my dreams I'll go
Into a dream with you
[Verse 6]
There's a bright, golden haze on the meadow
There's a bright, golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as a elephant's eye
And it looks like it's climbin' clear up to the sky
Oh, what a beautiful morning
Oh, what a beautiful day
I've got a beautiful feeling
Everything's goin' my way
All the sounds of the earth are like music
All the sounds of the earth are like music
The breeze is so busy, it don't miss a tree
An' a ol' weepin' willer is laughin' at me
Oh, what a beautiful morning
Oh, what a beautiful day
I've got a beautiful feeling
Everything's goin' my way
Oh, what a beautiful day
[Verse 7]
One dream in my heart
One love to be living for
One love to be living for
This nearly was mine
One man for my dream
One partner in paradise
This promise of paradise
This nearly was mine
Close to my heart it came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight
Now, now I'm alone
Still dreamin' of paradise
Still saying that paradise
Paradise, paradise
Now, now I'm alone
Still dreamin' of paradise
Still saying that paradise
Paradise, paradise
