Stephen Sondheim
With So Little To Be Sure Of
[HAPGOOD, spoken]
Why didn't you turn me in?

[FAY, spoken]
You're the hope of the world

[HAPGOOD, spoken]
I don't think you can possibly repeat that sentence without laughing

[FAY, spoken]
You're the hope of the world, you and all the people like you. So of course, you'll go away now

[HAPGOOD, spoken]
Come with me, Fay

[FAY, spoken]
My Cookies need someone to take care of them

[HAPGOOD, spoken]
That's an excuse. Where's your wig?

[FAY, spoken]
You wouldn't want me like that

[HAPGOOD, spoken]
Four wives: they all tried to change me. Girls who don't, are the girls you don't marry
[FAY]
You like my hair, yes? My lips, yes?
Ze sway of my, how you say, of my hips, yes?

(spoken)
You don't leave me with anything

[HAPGOOD, spoken]
I'm sorry, for me, it-it was marvelous

[FAY, spoken]
Marvelous?

[HAPGOOD]
With so little to be sure of
If there's anything at all
If there's anything at all
I'm sure of here and now and us together

All I'll ever be I owe you
If there's anything to be
Being sure enough of you
Makes me sure enough of me

Thanks for everything we did
Everything that's past
Everything that's over too fast
None of it was wasted
All of it will last
Everything that's here and now and us together
It was marvelous to know you
And it isn't really through
Crazy business, this, this life we live in
Don't complain about the time we're given
With so little to be sure of in this world
We had a moment
A marvelous moment

[FAY]
A marvelous moment
A beautiful time

(spoken)
I need you, Hapgood—

(sung)
I need you more than I can say
I need you more than just today
I guess I need you more than you need me
And yet, I'm happy

[FAY & HAPGOOD]
All I'll ever be I owe you (The more I memorize your face)
If there's anything to be (The more I never want to leave)
Being sure enough of you
Makes me sure enough of me (Come with me, Fay)
Thanks for everything we did (There's more of love in me right now)
Everything that's past (Than all the little bits of love)
Everything that's over too fast (I've known before)

None of it was wasted
None of it was wasted
All of it will last
All of it will last

[BOTH]
Everything that's here and now and us together

It was marvelous to know you
And it's never really through
Crazy business, this, this life we live in
Can't complain about the time we're given
With so little to be sure of in this world

[FAY]
Hold me
Hold me
