Stephen Sondheim - Someone Woke Up lyrics

[LEONA] Someone woke up one incredible day Had an idea and was prompted to say: "Let's build a city; where should it be? How about the middle of that sea?" Someone drew plans like a set for a stage Someone spilled colors all over the page Then they built it, Cookie, you know why? Just so Leona could come here and cry [MAURO, spoken] Lady, you want a guide? [LEONA, spoken] Can you take me to the Pensione Fioria? [MAURO, spoken] Sì, this way! [LEONA] Some people cry at hellos and farewells Some people cry at nostalgia with bells Some cry at weddings, some at the moon I cry promptly Mondays at high noon [MAURO, spoken] Lady, this way! [LEONA] Some people cry at Vienna or Rome This one is mine, Cookie, this one is home Look, they even painted the damn sky Just so Leona could come here and cry [MAURO, spoken] Lady, let's go! Lady! Lady, let's go! Lady, this way! Lady, let's go! [LEONA] Let's build a city; where should it be? How about the middle of that sea? [MAURO, spoken] Lady, listen! Lady! Lady! [VENICIAN MAN, spoken] Hey, lady, look out, you're gonna fall in! [MAURO, spoken] Jump! (Leona falls into the can*l. People on the street of Venice laugh at her.) [LEONA] Some people cry when they see their old pals Me, I'm a s**er for chimes and can*ls Look, they even painted the damn sky Just so Leona could come here And stand like a lump, dripping wet with no shoes on At noon on a Monday And cry
