Follies movie - TOO MANY MORNINGS lyrics

rate me

<br>

BEN:<br>

Too many mornings<br>

Waking and pretending I reach for you,<br>

Thousands of mornings<br>

Dreaming of my girl.<br>

All that time wasted,<br>

Merely passing through,<br>

Time I could have spent<br>

So content<br>

Wasting time with you.<br>

Too many mornings<br>

Wishing that the room might be filled with you.<br>

Morning to morning,<br>

Turning into days.<br>

All the days that I thought would never end,<br>

All the nights with another day to spend.<br>

All those times I'd look up to see<br>

Sally standing at the door<br>

Sally moving to the bed,<br>

Sally resting in my arms<br>

With her head against my head.<br>

SALLY:<br>

If you don't kiss me, Ben, I think I'm going to die.<br>

How I planned:<br>

What I'd wear tonight and<br>

When should I get here,<br>

How should I find you,<br>

Where I'd stand,<br>

What I'd say in case you didn't remember.<br>

How I'd remind you--<br>

You remembered.<br>

And my fears were wrong!<br>

Was it ever real?<br>

Did I ever love you this much?<br>

Did we ever feel<br>

So happy then?<br>

BEN:<br>

It was always real SALLY:<br>

I should have worn green.<br>

And I've always loved you<br>

this much. I wore green the last time.<br>

We can always feel <br>

The time I<br>

this happy... was happy...<br>

BOTH:<br>

Too many mornings<br>

Wasted in pretending I reach for you.<br>

How many mornings<br>

Are there still to come!<br>

How much time can we hope that there will be?<br>

Not much time, but it's time enough for me.<br>

If there's time to look up and be/see<br>

Sally standing at the door,<br>

Sally moving to the bed,<br>

Sally resting in your/my arms,<br>

With your head against my head.<br>

<br>
