Someone is Waiting / Pretty Women Songtext
von Stephen Sondheim

Someone is waiting
Cool as Sarah
Easy and loving as Susan
Jenny
Someone is waiting
Warm as Susan
Frantic and touching as Amy
Joanne
Would I know her even if I met her?
Have I missed her? Did I let her go?
A Susan sort of Sarah
A Jennyish Joanne
Wait for me, I′m ready now
I'll find you if I can!
Someone will hold me
Soft as Jenny
Skinny and blue-eyed as Amy Susan
Someone will wake me
Sweet as Amy
Tender and foolish as Sarah
Joanne
Did I know her? Have I waited too long?
Maybe so, but maybe so has she
My blue-eyed Sarah, warm Joanne
Sweet Jenny, loving Susan, crazy Amy
Wait for me!
I′ll hurry!
Wait for me!
Hurry!
Wait for me!
Hurry!
Wait for me!

Sipping coffee, dancing pretty women
Pretty women are a wonder
Pretty women


Sitting in the window or
Standing on the stair
Something in them cheers the air

Pretty women silhouetted
Stay within you, glancing stay forever
Breathing lightly pretty women
Pretty women

Blowing out their candles or combing out their hair
Even when they leave they still are there
They're there

Ah, pretty women, at their mirrors, in their gardens
Letter-writing, flower picking
Weather watching how they make a man sing

Proof of heaven as you're living, pretty women
Yes, pretty women
Here′s to pretty women, pretty women
Pretty women, pretty women
