INCREDIBLE LYRICS....

Well, I have been a fan of the show "Sunday In The Park With George" since I was about five. I remember vividly my mom giving me the video and soon becoming obsessed. Today I was walking through my neighborhood and this song came on. Stephen Sondheim has such an incredible way of getting to the center of the emotion, stripping it down and putting it into words. If only we could all be so articulate. I understand that for most of you who haven't heard the actual song it might not induce such a strong reaction, but I think that even without the music they lyrics are incredible.
(I have taken a few blog liberties and edited it so it can be read more easily....it is two people singing to each other. But you will get the idea.)

Move on...

Stop worrying where you're going-
Move on.
If you can know where you're going,
You've gone.
Just keep moving on.

I chose, and my world was shaken-
So what?
The choice may have been mistaken,
The choosing was not.
You have to move on.

Look at what you want,
Not at where you are,
Not at what you'll be-
Look at all the things you've done for me:

Opened up my eyes,
Taught me how to see,
Notice every tree-
Understand the light-
Concentrate on now-

I want to move on.
I want to explore the light.
I want to know how to get through,
Through to something new,
Something of my own-
Move on.
Move on.

Stop worrying it your vision
Is new.
Let others make that decision-
They usually do.
You keep moving on.

Look at what you've done
Then at what you want,
Not at where you are,
What you'll be.
Look at all the things
You gave to me.
Let me give to you
Something in return.
I would be so pleased...

Just keep moving on.
Anything you do,
Let it come from you.
Then it will be new.

Give us more to see...
