someone woke up - stephen sondheim lyrics

Loading...

[leona]
someone woke up one incredible day
had an idea and was prompted to say:
“let’s build a city; where should it be?
how about the middle of that sea?”

someone drew plans like a set for a stage
someone spilled colors all over the page
then they built it, cookie, you know why?
just so leona could come here and cry

[mauro, spoken]
lady, you want a guide?

[leona, spoken]
can you take me to the pensione fioria?

[mauro, spoken]
sì, this way!

[leona]
some people cry at h-llos and farewells
some people cry at nostalgia with bells
some cry at weddings, some at the moon
i cry promptly mondays at high noon

[mauro, spoken]
lady, this way!

[leona]
some people cry at vienna or rome
this one is mine, cookie, this one is home
look, they even painted the d-mn sky
just so leona could come here and cry

[mauro, spoken]
lady, let’s go! lady! lady, let’s go! lady, this way! lady, let’s go!

[leona]
let’s build a city; where should it be?
how about the middle of that sea?

[mauro, spoken]
lady, listen! lady! lady!

[venician man, spoken]
hey, lady, look out, you’re gonna fall in!

[mauro, spoken]
jump!

(leona falls into the c-n-l. people on the street of venice laugh at her.)

[leona]
some people cry when they see their old pals
me, i’m a sucker for chimes and c-n-ls
look, they even painted the d-mn sky
just so leona could come here
and stand like a lump, dripping wet with no shoes on
at noon on a monday
and cry
