Richard Rodgers
Loneliness of Evening
TOPHER
I wake in the loneliness of sunrise
When the deep purple heaven turns blue
And start to pray
As I pray each day
That I’ll hear some word from you
I lie in the loneliness of evening
Looking out on a silver-flaked sea
And ask the moon
Oh how soon, how soon
Will my love come home to me
I have found her
ELLA
I have found my angel
TOPHER
She’s my angel
TOPHER & ELLA
With the dust of the stars in your eyes
We are dancing we are flying
And she’s/he’s taking me back to the skies
TOPHER
I lie in the loneliness of evening
Looking out on a silver-flaked sea
And ask the moon
Oh how soon how soon
Will my love come home to me
Will my love come home to me
