you must meet my wife - stephen sondheim lyrics

[fredrik]
she lightens my sadness,
she livens my days,
she bursts with a kind of madness
my well-ordered ways.
my happiest mistake, the ache of my life:
you must meet my wife.
she bubbles with pleasure,
she glows with surprise,
disrupts my accustomed leisure

you must meet my wife.
[desiree]
yes, i must. i really must.
now–
[fredrik]
she flutters.
[desiree]
how charming.
[fredrik]
she twitters.
[desiree]
my word!
[fredrik]
she floats.
[desiree]
isn’t that alarming?
what is she, a bir
