Lyrics

[Part I: Company] [Intro] Have we got a girl for you Wait till you meet her! Have we got a girl for you, boy? Hoo, boy! Please welcome Liz Callaway [Verse 1] Phone rings Door chimes In comes company! No strings Good times Just chums, company! Late nights Quick bites Party games Deep talks Long walks Telephone calls Thoughts shared Souls bared Private names All those Photos Up on the walls "With love..." [Chorus] With love filling the days With love seventy ways "To Stephen with love" From all these Good and crazy people, your friends These good and crazy peopl5, your grateful friends! And that's what it's all about, isn't it? We lov5 you! [Outro] Good evening! And welcome to a celebration of the musical genius Stephen Sondheim A friend, a teacher, and a man who changed my life [Part II: Rich and Happy] [Verse 2] Forty years ago who'd have guessed Who'd have guessed I'd be standing here Singing songs by the very best Back them I was na�ve Never did I believe That I would get to know Steve [Part III: I Know Things Know] [Verse 3] And he showed me things Many beautiful things That I hadn't thought to explore They were off my path So I never had dared I had been so careful I never had cared And he made me feel excited Well, excited and scared [Part IV: Someone in a Tree] [Verse 4] I was younger then& I was good at climbing trees& I was younger then& I saw everything!& I was hidden all the time& It was easier to climb& I was younger then& I saw everything!& Where they came and where they went... I was part of the event I was someone in a tree I was there then [Chorus] And there's someone in a tree Or the day is incomplete Without someone in a tree Nothing happened there It's the fragment, not the day It's the pebble, not the stream It's the ripple, not the sea That is happening Not the building but the beam Not the garden but the stone Only cups of tea And history (We love you) And someone in a tree
