stephen sondheim - what more do i need? lyrics
(verse 1)
once i hated this city
now it can’t get me down
slushy, humid and gritty
what a pretty
town
what, thought i, could be duller
more depressing, less g-y?
now my favorite color
is gray
(chorus 1)
a wall of rain as it turns to sleet
the lack of sun on a one-way street
i love the grime all the time
and what more do i need?
my window pane has a lovely view:
an inch of sky and a fly or two
why, i can see half a tree
and what more do i need?
the dusk is thick and it’s galling;
it simply can’t be excused
in winter even the falling snow looks
used
my window pane may not give much light
but i see you, so the view is bright
if i can love you, i’ll pay the dirt no heed!
with your love, what more do i need?
(verse 2)
someone shouting for quiet
someone starting a brawl
down the block there’s a riot
and i’ll buy it
all!
listen, now i’m ecstatic
hold me close and be still
hear the lovely pneumatic
drill!
(chorus 2)
a subway train thunders through the bronx
a taxi horn on the corner honks
but i adore every roar
and what more do i need?
i hear a crane making street repairs
a two-ton child running wild upstairs
steam pipes bang, sirens clang
and what more do i need?
the neighbors yell in the summer
the landlord yells in the fall
so loud i can’t hear the plumber
pound the wall
an aeroplane roars across the bay
but i can hear you as clear as day:
you said you love me
above the sound and speed
with your love
what more do i need?
