Stephen Sondheim
In Buddy’s Eyes (2004)
[Spoken]
Well, there's no way I could take a journey like this without visiting Stephen Sondheim. Stephen Sondheim. Stephen has changed the face of our American musical theater. This is his song from Follies.
[SALLY]
Life is slow but it seems exciting
'Cause Buddy's there
Gourmet cooking and letter writing
And knowing Buddy's there
Every morning—don't faint—
I tend the flowers
Can you believe it?
Every weekend, I paint
For umpteen hours
And, yes, I miss a lot
Living like a shut-in
No, I haven't got
Cooks and cars and diamonds
Yes, my clothes are not
Paris fashions, but in
Buddy's eyes
I'm young, I'm beautiful
In Buddy's eyes
I don't get older
So life is ducky
And time goes flying
And I'm so lucky
I feel like crying
And...
In Buddy's eyes
I'm young, I'm beautiful
In Buddy's eyes
I can't get older
I'm still the princess
Still the prize
In Buddy's eyes
I'm young, I'm beautiful
In Buddy's arms
On Buddy's shoulder
I won't get older
Nothing dies
And all I ever dreamed I'd be
The best I ever thought of me
Is every minute there to see
In Buddy's eyes
