歌曲名 A Little Night Music You Must Meet My Wife

歌手名 Glynis Johns+Len Cariou

作曲：Stephen Sondheim

She lightens my sadness

She livens my days

She bursts with a kind of madness

My well-ordered ways

My happiest mistake the ache of my life:

You must meet my wife

She bubbles with pleasure

She glows with surprise

Disrupts my accustomed leisure

And ruffles my ties

I don't know even now quite how it began

You must meet my wife my Anne

One thousand whims to which I give in

Since her smallest tear turns me ashen

I never dreamed that I could live in

So completely demented contented a fashion

So sunlike so winning

So unlike a wife

I do think that I'm beginning

To show signs of life

Don't ask me how at my age one still can grow

If you met my wife you'd know

Dear Fredrik

I'm just longing to meet her

Sometime

She sparkles

How pleasant

She twinkles

How nice

Her youth is a sort of present--

Whatever the price

The incandescent--what --the--

Light

--of my life

You must meet my wife

Yes I must I really must

Now--

She flutters

How charming

She twitters

My word

She floats

Isn't that alarming

What is she a bird

She makes me feel I'm--what --

A very old man

Yes--no

No

But--

I must meet your Gertrude

My Anne

Sorry--Anne

She loves my voice my walk my mustache

The cigar in fact that I'm smoking

She'll watch me puff until it's just ash

Then she'll save the cigar butt

Bizarre but

You're joking

She dotes on--

Your dimple

My snoring

How dear

The point is she's really simple

Yes that much seems clear

She gives me funny names--

Like Old Dry-as-Dust

Wouldn't she just

You must meet my wife

Yes I must yes I must

A sea of whims that I submerge in

Yet so loveable in repentance

Unfortunately still a virgin

But you can't force a flower--

Don't finish that sentence

She's monstrous

She's frightened

Unfeeling

Unversed

She'd strike you as unenlightened--

No I'd strike her first

Her reticence her apprehension--

Her crust

No Yes No

Fredrik

You must meet my wife

Let me get my hat and my knife

What was that

I must meet your wife

Yes you must Yes I must
