07 You Could Drive A Person Crazy (S. Sondheim)

Losing My Mind

another cover.

Mademoiselles...
You and me, pal...
Second bottle...
Ah, she looks for me...
Bonnet flapping...
Yapping...
Ruff!...
Chicken...
Pastry...
Yes, she looks for me.
Good.
Let her look for me to tell me why she left me.
As I always knew she would.
I had thought she understood.
They have never understood,
And no reason that they should.
But if anybody could...

Finishing the hat.
How you have to finish the hat.
How you watch the rest of the world
from a window
while you finish the hat.
Mapping out a sky.
What you feel like, planning a sky.
What you feel when voices that come
through the window
go
until they distance and die.
Until there's nothing but sky.

And how you're always turning back too late
from the grass or the stick,
or the dog or the light.
How the kind of woman willing to wait's
not the kind that you want to find waiting
to return you to the night.
Dizzy from the height.
Coming from the hat.

Studying the hat.
Entering the world of the hat.
Reaching through the world of the hat
like a window,
back to this one from that.

Studying a face.
Stepping back to look at a face
leaves a little space in the way like a window.
But to see-
It's the only way to see.

And when the woman that you wanted goes,
You can say to yourself, "Well, I give what I give."
But the woman who won't wait for you knows that, 
however you live, there's a part of you 
always standing by,
mapping out the sky.

Finishing a hat.
Starting on a hat.
Finishing the hat.
Look, I made a hat.
Where there never was a hat.

Don’t Say Merry Christmas 

Standing in the parlor is a pine tree 
Dressed in bows and sparkling silver tails 
Twinkling like a clear December midnight sky 
and waiting for, something more… 

Carolers are practicing their carols; 
Santa Claus is warming up the sleigh, 
But till the Christmas angel sits atop the tree, 
it’s still not here, so my dear… 

We’ll bring out the familiar decorations; 
we’ll deck the halls as decked as they can be, 
Sing “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” but still it won’t be Christmas, 
‘Til daddy puts the angel on the tree. 

Let every little hand hang something special; 
Sally hangs the holly every year. 
The golden balls and silver bells, then Daddy brings the angel, 
and then we know that Christmas time is here. 

The bows will be tied to the boughs of the tree 
then I give my helper elves a yuletide speech, 
if we would retain but a single candy cane, 
hang them on the branches little Tommy can’t reach. 

Santa Claus is coming down the chimney, 
and soon you may be sitting on his knee, 
but even Old Saint Nick will not be saying “Merry Christmas” 
‘Til daddy puts the angel on the tree. 

The angels this day play the hymns on their harps, 
while a host of holy voices sweetly sing. 
And I have heard tell when you hear a Christmas bell it means another angel has been given her wings. 

So when you hear the carolers a calling, 
and snow is touching everything you see, 
don’t say “Merry Christmas…” still it’s not quite Christmas, don’t say (shhhh), 
‘Til daddy puts the angel on the tree.
