Oh if life were made of moments
Even now and then a bad one--!
But if life were only moments,
Then you'd never know you had one.

Automobile in America,
Chromium steel in America,
Wire-spoke wheel in America,
Very big deal in America!

Immigrant goes to America,
Many hellos in America,
Nobody knows in America,
Puerto Rico's in America!

I like the shores of America!
Comfort is yours in America!
Knobs on the doors in America!
Wall-to-wall floors in America!

Stephen Sondheim

I firmly believe that lyrics have to breathe and give the audience's ear a chance to understand what's going on. Particularly in the theater, where you not only have the music, but you've got costume, story, acting, orchestra. There's a lot to take in.
