Too Many Mornings Lyrics by George Hearn, Barbara Cook

Follies in Concert

0

[BEN]
Too many mornings
Waking and pretending I reach for you
Thousands of mornings
Dreaming of my girl
All that time wasted
Merely passing through
Time I could have spent
So content
Wasting time with you
Too many mornings
Wishing that the room might be filled with you
Morning to morning
Turning into days
All the days
That I thought would never end
All the nights
With another day to spend
All those times
I'd look up to see
Sally standing at the door
Sally moving to the bed
Sally resting in my arms
With her head against my head
[SALLY, spoken]
If you don't kiss me, Ben, I think I'm gonna die...
(sung)
How I planned
What I'd wear tonight and
When should I get here
How should I find you
Where I'd stand
What I'd say in case you
Didn't remember
How I'd remind you—
You remembered
And my fears were wrong!
Was it ever real?
Did I ever love you this much?
Did we ever feel
So happy then?
[BEN]
It was always real
[SALLY]
I should have worn green
[BEN]
And I've always loved you this much
[SALLY]
I wore green the last time
[BEN]
We could always feel this happy
[SALLY]
The time I was happy
[BEN & SALLY]
Too many mornings
Wasted in pretending I reach for you
How many mornings
Are there still to come?
How much time can we hope that there will be?
Not much time, but it's time enough for me
If there's time to look up and see (be)
Sally standing at the door
Sally moving to the bed
Sally resting in my (your) arms
With your head against my head
