Other pleasures...
And I've known many...
Afternoons
In warm Venetian squares,
Brief encounters,
Long siestas...
Pleasures old and new
Can't compare with you.
You amaze me!
Where did you come from?
You do things
Champagne could never do.
Crystal winters,
Crimson summers...
Other pleasures --
I would trade them all
For you.
Pleasures old and new
Can't compare with you...
Wild mimosa,...
The scent of evening...
Shuttered rooms
With sunlight breaking through...
Crazy soirees...
Lazy Sundays...
Other pleasures...
I would trade them all
For you.
Sailing off
In the night
On a silver lake...
Taking more
From this life
Thank I ought to take...
Other pleasures...
I would trade them all
For you.

Chauvelin tries to get Marguerite to remember their passion for each other and the Revolution.I remember days full of restlessness and fury
I remember nights that were drunk on dreams
I remember someone who hungered for the glory
I remember her, but it seems she's gone
Where's the girl? Where's the girl with the blaze in her eyes?
Where's the girl with that gaze of surprise?
Now and then I still dream she's beside me
Where's the girl who could turn on the edge of a knife?
Where's the girl who was burning for life?
I can still feel her breathing beside me
And I know she remembers how fearless she feels
To take off with the wind at her heels
She and I took this world like a storm
Come again!
Let the girl in your heart tumble free
Bring your renegade heart home to me
In the dark of the morning, I'll warm you
I'll rouse you
Marguerite, don't forget I know who you are
We were cut from the same surly star
Like two jewels in the sky sharing fire
Where's the girl so alive and still aching for more?
We had dreams that were worth dying for
We were caught in the eye of a storm
Come again!
Let the girl in your heart tumble free
Bring your renegade heart home to me
In the dark of the morning, I'll warm you
I'll rouse you
Where's the girl?
Is she gazing at me with surprise?
Do I still see that blaze in her eyes?
Am I dreaming, or is she beside me now?

An adult reflects on his complex high school past. There's a kid inside,
And I have him with me always.
There's a kid inside,
Walking down old high school hallways.
There's a kid inside,
At a desk, at a dance, in the halls, in the showers.
There's a kid inside to this very day.
And he makes a try for that high pop fly,
That I fumbled one September.
And he makes a fuss over some A plus,
That I shouldn't still remember.

A man sings to his boyfriend about both the rapture and doubts of their love. Long ago, I tasted something sweet.
It's an echo, it's a memory in retreat.
Like a feeling of fullness,
Like the knowing of quiet fortitude, of ancient heroes.
It was something I trusted somehow.
But now...
But now it's gone, and I am incomplete.
In the darkness, and the hollow, in the heat.
If I flash on the future
I see only the empty future shock, an afterimage.
There is only I want, I want, I want.
I don't know what I hunger for,
I don't know why I feel the hunger more
And more with every passing day.
I don't know from where the hunger springs,
But that it's there and that it sings Of someplace far away.
So get me up, and get me out, and let me never return
To the darkness and the hollow, and to the burn.
I want out of this hunger,
To take me up to a higher altitude.
Take me all the way,
I'm out of here.
I am going there.
I am gone!
Oh, get me up like Icarus,
And give me wings like Pegasus.
Just get me out and get me high!

Percy rediscovers why he still loves Marguerite. So many nights I have stood in the moonlight
Watching it fade into dawn
Wanting her back with me, warm in the moonlight
Knowing that moment was gone
Out of mind, out of sight,
Till the moon rose tonight
All at once, I felt a chill
In a spill of moonlight, she was there
Though we both held very still
There was something pulling in the air
When she whispered through the dark
I tried hard to hold my ground
I believed I had a choice
Till the music in her voice
Turned my whole world around
I would like to understand
But the stars and I begin to blur
If she never touched my hand
Then what filled me with the feel of her?
In between us stood a wall
In a flash it fell apart
Is it possible she heard
Every last unspoken word
Racing out of my heart?
She never turned to me, but suddenly
We had so much to share!
I never took her in my arms, but she was there
Oh, she was there!
No, I never pulled her in
Still her tenderness was everywhere
Oh, she slipped beneath my skin
Just as if she'd always been right there
Has she been there all along?
Was I too far gone to know?
What a fool I must have been
For how could I pull her in
When I've never let her go?

Anthony Palazzo describes how a mason's work lasts even after he is gone.He builds a house
With his hands
Thirty years go by
It stands
It stands where nothing stood
A house of stone
The mason sleeps real good
He does his work
His workday flies
Quittin' time's a big surprise
And then it's one more stone
To get just right
It's always one more stone
Before the night
Every house he builds
Every stone he lays
It's not just makin' money
And countin' off the days
He builds a house
With his hands
A hundred years go by
It stands
It tells you who he was
A life goes fast
But the work a mason does
It's made to last
The work a mason does
It's made to last

Floyd reflects on his life as he is about to die in a cave. Is it warm, is it soft against your face?
Do you feel the kind of grace inside the breeze?
Will there be trees, is there light?
Does it hover on the ground?
Does it shine from all around or just from you?

I'll be coming back to you, Darlene
Back to your dark eyes and hair
Marry me when I return, Darlene
And until that day, my love, take care
Be thee well
May the lord who watches all Watch over thee
May God's heaven be you blanket As you softly sleep
Marry me
When you're fin'ly in my arms you'll plainly see
This devoted sailor's heart and soul
Are yours to keep!
BRIDE
Yours-to-keep...
Every day from G-M-O-M
"Good morning, old man"

"Good night, old man"
My telegraph sends its messages to ships at sea
Sending out its
Dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit...
Dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit
Dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit...
I was young and shy, detached and sad
Spent my days indoors, a home-bound lad
Hardly spoke, few friends
I kept myself to myself
Quite alone
Then I found Marconi's Telegraph
It could span the planet's width by half
Fifty yards, two thousand miles
The same!
Touch the spark...sound the tone
And the night was alive
With a thousand voices
Fighting to be heard
And each and every one of them
Connected to me...
And my life came alive
With a thousand voices
Tapping out each word
Like a thousand people
Joined with a single heartbeat
Tapping out our
Dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit
Dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit
Dit dit-dah-dit dah
Everywhere...
BARRETT & BRIDE
Marry me So alive with a thousand voices May the lord who watches all
Watch over thee And every one of them connected to me
Marry me So alive with a thousand voices
May God's heaven be your blanket
As you sleep those people
Joined with a single heartbeat
Tapping out our Dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit
Marry me...

Marry me...

The water's incredibly blue

Who dies from too much whiskey

Professor Bhaer writes to Jo about his life in New York.
View Lyrics
(Sung) She asks how I am. And so: how am I? My days are the usual days. I wake up, I go out. Time goes by.
My days are exactly the days I have lived since arriving here. In fact, how I am is amazed how this comforts me year by year. I work and I eat. Life is muffins and jam. The house is nice and quiet now. That is how I am.
Five years in these rooms reading Hegel and Kant. My mind is devoted to thoughts of the meaning of life. What more could I want? So why is it lately I find I'm uneasy all through the night? And why even now does my skin feel explosive as dynamite? Why does my heart pound like a battering ram? How can she ask me how I am? How I am is fine!
(Begins to write a letter back) 'Dear Miss March, there is nothing dramatic or new to report. This will be short. Morning and evening I live in my usual way. On the day you return you will see for yourself! Tell me, Miss March, are you happy so far From the clang and the beat of our turbulent street? Quite often I think of our days in New York. Though of course since you went I have quite content.'
(Rips the letter up) ACH! I wake up in the morning and all that I hear is the absence of sound. YES! My peace is disturbed but the ruckus is me as my thought run aground. I wanted a life by myself in these rooms. But now all around me another life looms. Who asked her to come and go and to leave me like that? And now she expects me to send her a note? With words, if I spoke, that would stick in my throat! Who asked her to change how I live, how I think, how I am?
She asks how I am. How can I reply? I go through my daily routine. I give lessons, I wait. Time goes by.
Yet lately I find there is pleasure in humming a silly tune. And some days I go to the park and I sit there all afternoon. Some evenings I swear I can hear a door slam. The house is far to quiet now. That is how I am.

When Will is upset that his dad Edward has to travel for work, Edward tells him to be brave.
View Lyrics
People say that's irresponsible People tell me stay at home But I'm not made for things like mowing lawns or apron strings I'm my best, when not at rest
So I fight the dragons and I storm the castles And I win a battle or two Then comes the day it's time, I'm packing up and I am bringing all my stories home to you
All I can see is miles ahead with miles to go All I can feel is wind and sun and sky Stop for a coffee, make a friend, and pray the day will never end 'Cause there's one more adventure waiting 'round another bend
Where I fight the dragons and I storm the castles And I win a battle or two But then a feeling comes Like fifty thousand drums all banging, "Bring my stories home to you"
And I wonder as I wander on the road from door to door Exactly what you think of where I've been
Do you know I joined the circus, met a mermaid, fought a war? Do you know I think of you through thick and thin? Because even though I'm making deals and bringin' people joy I'm usually only thinking of my boy
Out there on the road I pray You'll come to my one day And say, "Let's fight the dragons and then storm the castles 'til we win what needs to be won" So when I'm old and tired, you'll do the job required You'll be there telling stories to your son
And we fight the dragons and we storm the castles And I do the best that I can For everybody knows that's how the story goes To turn each boy into a bigger man
So I'll fight the dragons 'til you can

Aaron confesses that he still loves his ex-wife.
View Lyrics
CHRIS (spoken) Yes?
CIOFFI (spoken) Luster.
CHRIS (spoken) I agree. We need a completely new composition, one that's catchier than pink eye. I'll leave you to it.
CIOFFI (spoken) Well, at least now you'll have a few minutes alone with your piano.
AARON (spoken) Alone, yeah.
CIOFFI (spoken) Could I ask, only becauseI've wondered this my entire life-- Which would normally come first, the music or the lyric?
AARON (spoken) Same answer as the chicken or the egg.
CIOFFI (spoken) Ah, so it's the lyric.
AARON (spoken) No. It can start with a note. Which can become a phrase. And then you try hanging words off each branch, like trimming a tree.
CIOFFI Sounds easy enough.
AARON Really? Well don't talk about love Or you'll have to say "fits like a glove" Or "As certain as push comes to shove" You will pine for the woman you're constantly thinking of You see the problem.
CIOFFI (spoken) Dangling participle. So you suggest staying away from love?
AARON At all costs. And don't mention your life Or you'll have to say "cuts like a knife" Or refer to the heartbreak and strife When you find that you're missing your ...
CIOFFI (spoken) Missing?
AARON (spoken) What?
CIOFFI (spoken) You were saying what you miss.
AARON No I meant that, well... I miss the music I miss the song Since she's not with me It comes out wrong
It doesn't matter How hard I try I've lost the music I don't know why
You may have known Before I met her I wrote alone But if you ask me What I prefer I'd say the music I wrote with her
When you're writing a song And you've a partner The room is filled with jokes and chatter She says something You say something She writes a line You play a vamp
But when you're writing a song Without a partner That's a completely different matter No one tells you "That's not funny" No one says "Let's cut that bar" No one makes you better than you are
I can't pretend I miss the music I miss my friend No need to ask me What I prefer I choose the music I wrote with her I liked the music I made with--
GEORGIA (spoken): Aaron, I forgot my lyric. Can you believe it? Me.
AARON Well you're not the lyricist now, you're the star. Georgia, Break a leg.
GEORGIA Thanks. You can finish the song without me?
AARON I'm a one-man band. I miss the music I miss my friend No need to ask me What I prefer I choose the music I wrote with her I loved the music I made with her

Lieutenant Frank Cioffi confides in Niki, an ingénue, about him being married to his job.
View Lyrics
NIKI (spoken) It isn’t wrong to be married to one’s work, is it?
CIOFFI Uh, no. No, not at all. Sometimes it’s no Honeymoon. I love my job I really do And if I say so myself I’m good at it too I catch the bad guys Well, most of the time So it’s a good life A perfectly good life Not exactly sublime
When I’ve finished my work And I crawl into bed I reflect as I turn out the lights That the day that’s to come And the week that’s ahead will be Lunch counter mornings And coffee shop nights
Lunch counter mornings And coffee shop nights
NIKI (spoken) Well, it’s reassuring to have such a dependable schedule, like matinees every Wednesday.
CIOFFI (spoken) Or Brisket and broad beans each Thursday.
NIKI (spoken) With your friends
CIOFFI With, uh, yeah, well… I like my pals The guys on the force We’re not very social They’re all married of course
Sometime we go bowling Or have a few beers So it’s a fine life A perfectly fine like I’d give it two cheers
‘Cuz sometimes I think At the end of the day When I’ve read the last burglar his rights That the life that I lead Is a little bit grey With its lunch counter mornings And coffee shop nights
Lunch counter mornings And coffee shop nights
NIKI (spoken) But your acting roles. Well, don’t they make for a change?
CIOFFI (spoken) Oh, Miss Harris, each year from May 23rd to the 12th of June, When I turn my life over to the Swallow Street Players, that’s more than a vacation for me. It’s an overture of hope. It’s the curtain rising on the greatest joy of my life. (singing) But the rest of the year The life that I lead That’s a little bit grey There are plenty of low days And not many highs Mostly lunch counter mornings And coffee shop nights
CIOFFI (spoken) I don’t mean to sound forward, but might I walk you home?
NIKI (spoken) Oh, I’d be delighted, but you said we’re not allowed to leave.

A musician recalls loving music through his father’s piano abilities.
View Lyrics
I watched and wondered As he played show tunes Miles off from rock and roll.
What he loved he taught me. Now music's what I do. And often when I'm writing, In my hands, Dad's there too.
If I sing you are the music. If I fly you're why I'm good. If my hands can find some magic You're the one who said they could.
When the child that's still inside me, Finds a song in empty air. When there is joy in making music It is you who put it there.
My dad grew old. His hands grew numb. And now he cannot play.
I came to visit. He sat and asked me "How it could be this way?"
I couldn't find an answer. I played this tune for him instead. My father sat there smiling For he knew what it said.
If I sing you are the music. If I love you taught me how. Every day your heart is beating In the man that I am now.
If my ears are tuned to wander. If when I reach the chords are there. If there is joy in making music, It's a joy that we both share.
I never told you. It took time till I could see That if I sing you are the music And you'll always sing in me.
Yes you'll always live in me.

An adult reflects on his complex high school past.
View Lyrics
And he goes along, Getting hurt, getting mad, fighting fights that are over. And unless I'm strong, All my senses are carried away.
I can feel my hand, my trembling hand, On Michelle's angora sweater. I can hear my band, that awful band, Only now it sounds much better.
I can see a kid, the kid I use to be, On the stage, on the field, in the lunch line. I can feel him tugging at me, Every time I think I don't care, I blink, And he's there again, he's there again.
Fighting ancient wrongs, Humming old hit songs in my head. Singing come along, come along, Come along for the ride. To a time and place, I could not forget if I tried.
There again, He's there again.
And I never know, when the breeze'll blow, With a rush of old sensations. Why the kid should wake, And my heart should ache, Every time I smell carnations.
Something rings a bell, Anything at all, All it takes is a slam of a locker.
Or the switch from summer to fall, A change of season seems hardly reason, But there he goes again, he's there again.
Fighting ancient wrongs, Humming old hit songs in my head. Singing come along, come along, Come along for the ride.
To a time and place, I could not forget if I tried. There he goes again, Hummin' his songs.
He's there again, There again. There's a kid inside.

Floyd reflects on his life as he is about to die in a cave.
View Lyrics
Is it endless and empty and you wander on your own? Slowly forget about the folks that you've known Or does rising bread fill up the air From open kitchens everywhere Familiar faces far as you can see, like a family
Do we live, is it like a little town? Do we get to look back down at who we love? Are we above, are we everywhere, are we anywhere at all? Do we hear a trumpet call us and we're by your side?
Will I want, will I wish For all the things that I should have done? Longing to finish what I only just begun
Or has a shining truth been waiting there For all the questions everywhere In a world of wondering, suddenly you know And you will always know
Will my mama be there waiting for me? Smiling like the ways she does And holding out her arms As she calls my name She will hold me just the same
Only Heaven knows how glory goes What each of us was meant to be In the starlight, that is what we are I can see so far

Gould wants Edith to put aside their faded memories while he is gone.
View Lyrics
EDITH (spoken) If you're gone, who would I even talk to?
GOULD (spoken) Yourself. The occasional cat.
EDITH (spoken) That's not funny.
GOULD After I'm gone, When the ocean's haze Blankets the grounds in grey Drift away, on the tide, Drift away.
When you're alone, And the twilight's glow Shimmers across the bay Drift away, on a wave, Drift away. Our tete-a-tetes-
EDITH Midnight duets-
GOULD &EDITH Our breakfast tea and toast.
GOULD Funny how things that mean the least Are what we miss the most. Deep in the night When the whispering breeze Sings this song I play, Shed a tear and be glad For the fun that we had. Drift away, on a dream... Drift away.
EDITH (spoken) You're my soul mate, that's what you are.
GOULD (spoken) "Soul mate." Is that the nom de jour?
EDITH (spoken) I've no idea what you mean.
GOULD (spoken) For the party this afternoon, which would you prefer? Should I wear the white satin jacket you bought for me at Bergdorf's? Or the linen one you picked up in Rome?
EDITH (spoken) Now, Gould-! Gould!

View Lyrics
CAMPBELL You?
RANDALL Right? I was a loser, a mess, A loner, depressed That every day I had to be me Walked around hoping no one Would see me
I'd lock myself in the guys room And let the tears fall, Til one day this custodian Knocked on my stall And asked if I'd heard Of the band: The Grateful Dead -- And I thought he might not be Quite right in the head...
But he changed my life around When he said "Right now everything seems so important. But time rushes by at a clip And when you look back, These high school years Will be nothing more than a blip So you might as well -- enjoy the trip."
CAMPBELL But its such a long blip!
RANDALL Thats what i said! and he said:
"Trust me on this, when you're older And wiser and balder and fatter And you look back on this Moment in time The only things thats gonna Matter is Did you only do what you Thought you should do? Did you dance monkey dance Cause the man told you to? Or did you spend your time doing What brings joy to you?
"All you see is this old dude With a broom in his hand. But I've followed my dreams And my favorite band."
So don't sit on your ass Waiting for life to begin If you do what you love With your time, then you win! What a long, strange, Wonderful trip it's been!
Right now everything seems So important But time rushes by at a clip And when you look back, These high school years Will be nothing more than a blip Just a tale to tell!
RANDALL & CAMPBELL That rings a bell So what the hell! We might as well enjoy the trip!

This is very strange. Everything is changing. Suddenly a door Can slam.
This is very strange. Suddenly we're strangers. And I start to wonder Who I am.
What is a woman? What is she made of? Why is a woman afraid of Not being in love?
What is a woman? What does she long for? Why is it wrong for a woman To be all alone?
Young girls are April With rainbows and changes. One day they grow up And April is over forever
To be a woman Means being lonely. That's why a woman is only Alive when in love.

I look damn good in a hat My black dress hides the fact I don't want sympathy He was here and now he's gone The music still plays on I see the keys And I freeze No surprise This is how he Thinks I'll be When he dies
I'll be gracious and aloof Or I'll climb on the roof Shouting obscenities He was here and now he's gone The music still plays on
The music still plays on And on and on and on Loud and fast and clear The music still plays on And on and on and on Even though you're not here My dear
Married too young I was brash, I was bold Married too young And divorced far too old
Husband sleeker than a horse He rears and flies off course I liked his pedigree Love is here and then it's gone The music still plays on
The music still plays on And on and on and on As my men depart The music still plays on And on and on and on Transmitted through my foolish heart
So, stay away I'm okay, I'm ahead What came to pass Once and as one is dead
Love is stupid and it bleeds It satisfies my needs I think it's wonderful Once it was wonderful Love is here and then it's gone The music still plays on They were here and now their gone The music still plays on And on and on

Grace explains that she doesn't want young people becoming millworkers because of the physical demands.
View Lyrics
Millwork ain't easy; mill-work ain't hard Millwork, it ain't nothing but an awful boring job I'm waiting for a day dream To take me through the morning And put me in my coffee break Where I can have a sandwich and remember
Then it's me and my machine For the rest of the morning For the rest of the afternoon And the rest of my life
Now my mind begins to wander To the days back on the farm I can see my father smiling at me, Swingin' on his arm I can hear my grand-dad's stories Of the storms out on Lake Erie Where vessels and cargos and fortunes And sailor's lives were lost
Yes, but it's my life has been wasted, And I have been the fool To let this manufacture use my body for a tool. I can ride home in the evening, Staring at my hands Swearing by my sorrow that a young girl Ought to stand a better chance
So may I work the mills Just as long as I am able And never meet the man whose Name is on the label
It be me and my machine For the rest of the morning For the rest of the afternoon And the rest of my life

How are things in Glocca Morra? Is that little brook still leaping there? Does it still run down to Donny cove? Through Killybegs, Kilkerry and Kildare?
How are things in Glocca Morra? Is that willow tree still weeping there? Does that lassie with the twinklin' eye Come smilin' by and does she walk away,
Sad and dreamy there not to see me there? So I ask each weepin' willow and each brook along the way, And each lass that comes a-sighin' too ra lay How are things in Glocca Morra this fine day?

Professor Bhaer writes to Jo about his life in New York.
View Lyrics
(Sung) She asks how I am. And so: how am I? My days are the usual days. I wake up, I go out. Time goes by.
My days are exactly the days I have lived since arriving here. In fact, how I am is amazed how this comforts me year by year. I work and I eat. Life is muffins and jam. The house is nice and quiet now. That is how I am.
Five years in these rooms reading Hegel and Kant. My mind is devoted to thoughts of the meaning of life. What more could I want? So why is it lately I find I'm uneasy all through the night? And why even now does my skin feel explosive as dynamite? Why does my heart pound like a battering ram? How can she ask me how I am? How I am is fine!
(Begins to write a letter back) 'Dear Miss March, there is nothing dramatic or new to report. This will be short. Morning and evening I live in my usual way. On the day you return you will see for yourself! Tell me, Miss March, are you happy so far From the clang and the beat of our turbulent street? Quite often I think of our days in New York. Though of course since you went I have quite content.'
(Rips the letter up) ACH! I wake up in the morning and all that I hear is the absence of sound. YES! My peace is disturbed but the ruckus is me as my thought run aground. I wanted a life by myself in these rooms. But now all around me another life looms. Who asked her to come and go and to leave me like that? And now she expects me to send her a note? With words, if I spoke, that would stick in my throat! Who asked her to change how I live, how I think, how I am?
She asks how I am. How can I reply? I go through my daily routine. I give lessons, I wait. Time goes by.
Yet lately I find there is pleasure in humming a silly tune. And some days I go to the park and I sit there all afternoon. Some evenings I swear I can hear a door slam. The house is far to quiet now. That is how I am.
