Sheridan Square Lyrics by Howard Ashman

Howard Sings Ashman

2008

[Verse 1]
With a corner to catch the subway
And a corner to buy cigars
And a corner to wait for the "Times" to come out
And a corner to lean on cars
[Chorus]
It was something just left to the Mardi Gras
When my friends and their friends were there
But it's getting much too quiet
Tonight on Sheridan Square
[Verse 2]
I'm sure that it must mean something
But it's really too soon to tell
When somebody's gettin' famous
While nobody's gettin' well
[Chorus]
And you can send my regrets to the party
I'd like to make it, but just don't dare
And why is it still so quiet
Tonight on Sheridan Square?
[Bridge]
Johnny and Steve and Martin
And a list that goes on too long
Dennis and Bill and Barry
You're the reason I wrote this song
[Verse 3]
Some of the boys have panic
But none of the boys leave town
They say, "We're on the good ship Titanic
We're gonna sing 'til the boat goes down."
[Chorus]
And if it ended before it started
Well no one told us that life is fair
And why is it still so quiet
Tonight on Sheridan Square?
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 4]
Somebody make a note of this
You people who know the trends
The wild ones are turning lovers
The lovers are turning friends
[Chorus]
And if some good rises out of everything
Then the phoenix is rising there
In the eyes that are scared, but softer
Tonight on Sheridan Square
[Bridge]
Johnny and Steve and Martin
And a list that goes on too long
Dennis and Bill and Barry
You're the reason I wrote this song
[Instrumental break]
[Outro]
When you carry a load like we do
What's another few pounds to share?
We can make it until the sun comes up
And it will
Over Sheridan Square
