There was a barber and his wife. And he was beautiful. A proper artist with a knife but they transported him for life. And he was beautiful
Stephen SondheimOh 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!
I prefer neurotic people. I like to hear rumblings beneath the surface.

Music blows lyrics up very quickly, and suddenly they become more than art. They become pompous and they become self-conscious ... 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.

Some of us don't like the way you've been telling it.
Stephen SondheimMusic straightjackets a poem and prevents it from breathing on its own, whereas it liberates a lyric. Poetry doesn't need music; lyrics do.
