Stephen Sondheim
Water Under the Bridge
[LIZA MINNELLI, spoken]
Thank you. Billy and I are very proud to be introducing a new Stephen Sondheim song. It's from his forthcoming movie, called "Singing Out Loud."

[CHARLIE]
Here it comes: love—
What I've been dreading
Here comes love
Much too fast
If it's not love
Where is it heading?
If it is love
Will it last?

Sunny on Sunday
Wake up Monday
Overcast
Guess what's past
And it's

[CHARLIE & JED]
Water under the bridge, that's all
Just water under the bridge
Faded handwriting on the wall
Just water under the bridge

[CHARLIE]
And I don't evеn know if it's love or not
It's just what we've got
It's just hot—
And I likе it a lot
And I see it tomorrow
Disappear like a shot
[JED]
You say it's love
Only you're guessing
Say it's "love"

[CHARLIE & JED]
What a pretty sound

[JED]
Well, if it's love
Boy, it's depressing

[CHARLIE]
If it's not love
Where's it bound?

[CHARLIE & JED]
Sailing on Sunday
Sunk on Monday
Run aground

[CHARLIE]
All hands drowned

[CHARLIE & JED]
In the
Water under the bridge, oh well
Just water under the bridge
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Good experience—what the hell
Just more water under the bridge
Yeah
And I don't even know if it's love
It looks like love
It feels like love
How would I know it's love?
Here it comes: love
There it goes: laughter
Here comes love
Out goes the rest of your life!

[CHARLIE]
In comes the doubt
Two minutes after
Comes the confusion
Comes the pain

[JED]
One day a drought
Then too much rain

[CHARLIE & JED]
Then just plain
Disillusion

[CHARLIE]
And I don't want to let it go

[JED]
But I can't let it just keep going

[CHARLIE & JED]
Simply follow the flow, not knowing
When it's showing
Signs of slowing
Till it's
[CHARLIE]
Water under the bridge again

[JED]
Water under the bridge

[CHARLIE]
Just water under the bridge

[JED]
Doesn't sound half bad

[CHARLIE]
Just a journey I took back then

[CHARLIE & JED]
Just more water under the bridge

[CHARLIE]
And the truth is that I don't care
If it's love or what

[JED]
This is all that we've got

[CHARLIE & JED]
So let's give it a shot
Then at least
If we've failed
Love or not—
We'll have sailed!

[CHARLIE]
We'll have sailed
We'll have sailed

[CHARLIE & JED]
We'll have sailed
We'll have sailed...
