Christian Borle - Monica & Mark lyrics

[MAN ONE] In the hospital Waiting for Mark to get better Arthur and I met his good friends Andy and Monica Whom we had heard about for years [MAN THREE] Andy and Monica Were in town to go to an opera with Mark But Mark wasn't going anywhere [MAN ONE] So we sat in the lobby, incredibly slobby And waited We waited For Mark to get better [ALL MEN] Monica was getting upsetter and upsetter [MAN ONE] And we said: "Relax, Monica Take a walk, Monica Get some rest, Monica That'd be best, Monica Come on, we'll go with you" [MAN TWO] But before we were outside the door My doctor, Stubbsy Forester, asked what we were waiting for And I said, "We are waiting for our friend We are waiting for our friend to get better" [MAN THREE] So he pulled Mark's chart and, bless his heart Stubbsy sat down to explain [ALL] He explained that Mark had AIDS He explained that AIDS was then fatal Something we did not know at the time So as a group we began to swoon [MAN ONE] He ma**aged our shoulder blades [MAN THREE] He said Mark would die that afternoon [MAN TWO] He suggested that we see him soon Very soon [MAN ONE] Every Thanksgiving, Mark made his All-male Thanksgiving dinner Where men made the turkey And men made the cranberries [ALL] Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da [MAN THREE] So Mark died And we became friends with Andy and Monica When they adopted their second girl They named her after Mark: [ALL] Zoe Thalen Feinstein- Thalen was Mark's last name- And they asked us to be her godparents Which we gladly became, we became Yes, we very gladly became So we watched the angels grow And torture each other But really we fell in love With Monica the mother [MAN TWO] Suddenly, out of the blue it happened? Monica's losing her hair Monica's losing too much weight too quickly Sickly [ALL] She goes to the doctor says, "I'm dying." He says, "You're overwrought." [MAN ONE] She says, "I'm angry as hell But overwrought is what I'm not." [ALL] The boy said: "Relax, Monica That'd be best, Monica You're just stressed, Monica Get some rest, Monica." [MAN ONE] She said, "Aw, go f** yourself" And went to the movies [ALL] Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da [MAN THREE] So she planned her funeral And these were her wishes: She wanted, I quote That you'd sing a song you wrote That'd make the people cry [MAN ONE] I'll write a new song Wait I'm thinking Da da da, da da da da da da I'll write a new song And I'll play it Told from her point of view Maybe a mother singing to her daughters [ALL] Worked on the new song every minute Minute the song was through Monica called and said "It's time you visit" Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da This is the song I sang for Monica This is the song I wrote
