Stephen Sondheim - Agony songtekst
Je score:
Did I abuse her Or show her disdain? Why does she run from me? If I should lose her, How shall i regain The heart she has won from me? Agony! Beyond power of speech, When the one thing you want Is the only thing out of your reach. Rapunzel's Prince High in her tower, She sits by the hour, Maintaining her hair. Blithe and becoming, and frequently humming A lighthearted air: Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah- Agony! Far more painful than yours, When you know she would go with you If there only were doors. Both Agony! Oh, the torture they teach! Rapunzel's Prince What's an intriguing? Cinderella's Prince Of half so fatiguing? Both As what's out of reach? Cinderella's Prince Am i not sensitive, Clever, Well-mannered, Considerate, Passionate, Charming, As kind as I'm handsome And heir to a throne? Rapunzel's Prince You are everthing maiden's could wish for! Cinderella's Prince Then why no? Rapunzel's Prince Do i know? Cinderella's Prince The girl must be mad! Rapunzel's Prince You know nothing of madness Till you're climbing her hair And you see her up there As you're nearing her, All the while hearing her: Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah- Both Agony! Cinderella's Prince Misery! Rapunzel's Prince Woe! Both Though it's different for each. Cinderella's Prince Always ten steps behind Rapunzel's Prince Always ten steps below Both And she's just out of reach. Agony! That can cut like a knife! I must have her to wife
