"Send In The Clowns"

"Send In The Clowns"


[Spoken intro]
This is a song about a couple of adult people who have spent, oh, quite a long time
together, till one day
one of 'em gets restless and decides to leave. Whether it's the man or woman who left is unimportant.
It's a breakup.
It's a lovely marriage of words and music, written by Stephen Sondheim.

Isn't it rich? Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground and you in mid-air
Send in the clowns

Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around and one who can't move
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns

Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair

Sure of my lines
Nobody's there

Don't you love a farce? My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want, sorry my dear
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here

Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Well, maybe next year

"Sentimental Baby"

"Sentimental Baby"



Sentimental baby, sweet and gentle baby
Just the way a baby oughta be
Heaven in the morning, heaven in the evening
How did such an angel get to me?

Cuddle and caress me, snuggle up and 'Yes' me
I'm a guy who loves a clinging vine
Kiss me, baby, kiss me and then
Do it, baby, over again

Sentimental baby, tell me you're my baby
Sentimental baby of mine

I'm a guy who loves a clinging vine
Kiss me, baby, kiss me and then
Do it, baby, all over again

Sentimental baby, tell me you're my baby
Sentimental baby of mine

"Sentimental Journey"

"Sentimental Journey"



Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories

I got my bag, I got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
I long to hear that: "all aboard!"

Seven, that's the time we leave - at seven
I'll be waiting up for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track - that moves me back

I never though my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam
Gotta take a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home

"September In The Rain"

"September In The Rain"



The leaves of brown came tumbling down
Remember, in September, in the rain
The sun went out just like a dying amber
That September in the rain

To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play our sweet refrain
Though spring is here, to me it's still September
That September in the rain

To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play our sweet refrain
Though spring is here, to me it is still September
That September in the rain
That September that brought the pain
That September in the rain

"September Song"

"September Song"


[Lengthy Intro:]
When I was a young man courting the girls
I played me a waiting game
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
I'd let the old Earth make a couple of whirls
While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls
And as time came around she came my way
As time came around, she came

When you meet with the young girls early in the Spring
You court them in song and rhyme
They answer with words and a clover ring
But if you could examine the goods they bring
They have little to offer but the songs they sing
And the plentiful waste of time of day
A plentiful waste of time

Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game

Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you

"Serenade In Blue"

"Serenade In Blue"



When I hear that serenade in blue
I'm somewhere in another world, alone with you
Sharing all the joys we used to know, many moons ago.
Once again your face comes back to me
Just like the theme of some forgotten melody
In the album of my memory, serenade in blue
It seems like only yesterday, the small cafe, a crowded floor
And as we danced the night away, I hear you say forever more
And then the song became a sigh
Forever more became goodbye
Cause you remained in my heart, but
Tell me darling in there still a spark?
Or only lonely ashes of the flame we knew
Should I go on whistling in the dark, serenade in blue.

"She Says"

"She Says"



She says she's sleeping well, she says she's lost some weight
She says she's seen some shows, she says the city's strange
(So she says) She says the weather's cold, she says there's been some rain
She says there's lots to see, she says she hopes we're fine (So she says)
(So she says) The price is high, high as the sky
And she says, she says, she's comin' home

 

[fox69]

"She's Funny That Way"

"She's Funny That Way"



I'm not much to look at, nothin' to see
Just glad I'm livin' and lucky to be
I got a man, crazy for me
He's funny that way

I can't save a dollar, ain't worth a cent
He doesn't holler, he'd live in a tent
I got a man, crazy for me
He's funny that way

I can see no other way and no better plan
End it all and let him go to some other gal
But I'm only human, a coward at best
I know for certain he'd follow me west

I got a man, crazy for me
He's funny that way

Though he loves to work and slave
For me every day
He'd be so much better off
If I went away

But why should I leave him, why should I go?
He'd be unhappy without me I know
I got a man, crazy for me
He's funny that way

 

[fox69]

"Should I?"

"Should I?"



Should I reveal exactly how I feel?
Should I confess I love you?
Should I recite beneath the pale moonlight
And swear by the stars above you?

Could I repeat the sweetest story told?
Could I entreat, would it be too bold?
Should I reveal exactly how I feel?
Should I confess I love you?

Could I repeat that sweetest story told?
Could I entreat, would it be too bold?
Should I reveal exactly how I feel?
Should I confess I love you
And swear by stars above you?

Should I confess I love you?

"Silent Night"

"Silent Night"



Silent night
Holy night
All is calm
All is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

(Silent night)
(Holy night)
(All is calm)

Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
(Both) Sleep in heavenly peace
