Second Midnight Songtext

von Stephen Sondheim

Witch: Two midnights gone!
Cinderella: Wanting a ball is not wanting a Prince...
CP: Near may be better than far,
But it still isn't there...
RP [echo]: Near may be better than far,
But it still isn't there...
Cinderella: The ball...
CP: So near...
RP: So far...
Stepmother: You can never love somebody else's child--
Florinda, Lucinda: Two midnights gone!
Stepmother: --the way you love--
CP: So near...
Stepmother: --your own.
Cinderella: The Prince...
RP: so far...
Granny: The greatest prize can often lie
At the end of the thorniest path...
All: Two midnights gone!
Two midnights gone!
