Too Many Mornings (from "Follies")

Too many mornings

Waking and pretending I reach for you

Thousands of mornings

Dreaming of my girl

All that time wasted

Merely passing through

Time I could have spent

So content

Wasting time with you

Too many mornings

Wishing that the room

Might be filled with you

Morning to morning

Turning into days

All the days

That I thought would never end

All the nights

With another day to spend

All those times

I looked up to see

Sally standing at the door

Sally moving to the bed

Sally resting in my arms

With her head against my head

If you don't kiss me, Ben, I think I'm going to die

(Sung)

How I planned

What I'd wear tonight

And when should I get here

How should I find you

Where I'd stand

What I'd say

In case you didn't remember

How I'd remind you

You remembered

And my fears were wrong

Was it ever real?

Did I ever love you this much?

Did we ever feel

So happy then?

It was always real

I should have worn green

And I've always loved you this much

I wore green the last time

We could always be

The time I was happy

This happy

Too many mornings

Wasted in pretending I reach for you

How many mornings

Are there still to come?

How much time

Can we hope that there will be?

Not much time

But it's time enough for me

If there's time

To look up and see

Sally standing at the door

Sally moving to the bed

Sally resting in my arms

With your head against my head
