Music and lyrics by Alan Menken From Untitled Honeymooners Musical Accompanied and arranged by James Sampliner Video shot and edited by Matt Rodin Available on Apple Music/Spotify @bobby_conte
This is exactly why Alan Menken is my favorite composer. His way of making music opend up my heart in ways I never otherwise feel possible. I feel calm, emotional and safe. Music is my life
Alice goes to church on Sunday Then she washes all her clothes for Monday Alice's life is neatly planned each hour and each minute How can a guy like me fit in it? But Saturday night we danced And I looked into her eyes And what I saw that took my heart completely by surprise [Chorus] The music swelled the first time I held Alice The lights went dim and all I saw was her They played a song, I sang along to Alice And all around me, things became a blur People stopped and starred as I held Alice And after all the music was long gone I heard a hush, I saw a blush on Alice Time stood still and we went dancing on There we were the two of us Waiting for the crosstown bus Had a whole lot to discuss with Alice I was nervous, she never guessed I talk too much, she seemed impressed I go east but I went west for Alice Alice! Suddenly we looked up and saw the moon I made a wish not to let tonight end soon But Alice still obeys her mother Who doesn't like us seeing each other Alice's mother doesn't know the kind of stuff I'm made of I don't know what she's afraid of All we did was dance, really that was all Then all it took was just one look And I began to fall [Chorus] I was swelled the first time I held Alice The lights went dim and all I saw was her They played a song, I sang along to Alice And now things are simply not the way they were On the streets, heads turned as I held Alice We walked along like school kids at a prom I didn't care, 'cause I was there with Alice Time stood still and we went dancing on Stars came out and filled the sky And I knew no matter how I tried I could never say goodbye to Alice The skylight seemed to shine so bright Every moment felt so right Then a voice said, "Say goodnight, Alice!" Alice! Even your mother's voice is sweet to me From now one, that's the way it's gonna be [Chorus] The moment's gold each time I hold Alice The light goes dim and all I see is her I hear a song I sing along to Alice And all those wonderful feelings still occur I feel bold each time I hold Alice We dance until the music is all gone There's still a crush, there's still a blush on Alice Time stands still and we'll go dancing on Time stands still and we'll go dancing on
Could anyone else just imagine this being the story of Ralph and Alice Kramden? Or see Jackie Gleason and Jayne Meadows in their head and say, "I always wondered what she saw in him?" This song made me understand! It really could have been that way, or at least I like to think so.
Bobby is the only person allowed to sing anything from now on! So so beautiful
Discovered this purely by accident. This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. And it is beautifully sung. ❤
Alan Menken and Bobby it's always a yes
Gorgeous. So likeable. Bobby's new CD is going to be on my Fanfare magazine "Want List" at the end of this year.
What a voice.
I’ve never been so utterly floored by a song. I’m actually on the floor...WOW. I’m speechless.

Alice goes to church on Sunday
Then she washes all her clothes for Monday
Alice's life is neatly planned each hour and each minute
How can a guy like me fit in it?
But Saturday night we danced
And I looked into her eyes
And what I saw that took my heart completely by surprise
[Chorus]
The music swelled the first time I held Alice
The lights went dim and all I saw was her
They played a song, I sang along to Alice
And all around me, things became a blur
People stopped and starred as I held Alice
And after all the music was long gone
I heard a hush, I saw a blush on Alice
Time stood still and we went dancing on
There we were the two of us
Waiting for the crosstown bus
Had a whole lot to discuss with Alice
I was nervous, she never guessed
I talk too much, she seemed impressed
I go east but I went west for Alice
Alice!
Suddenly we looked up and saw the moon
I made a wish not to let tonight end soon
But Alice still obeys her mother
Who doesn't like us seeing each other
Alice's mother doesn't know the kind of stuff I'm made of
I don't know what she's afraid of
All we did was dance, really that was all
Then all it took was just one look
And I began to fall
[Chorus]
I was swelled the first time I held Alice
The lights went dim and all I saw was her
They played a song, I sang along to Alice
And now things are simply not the way they were
On the streets, heads turned as I held Alice
We walked along like school kids at a prom
I didn't care, 'cause I was there with Alice
Time stood still and we went dancing on
Stars came out and filled the sky
And I knew no matter how I tried
I could never say goodbye to Alice
The skylight seemed to shine so bright
Every moment felt so right
Then a voice said, "Say goodnight, Alice!"
Alice!
Even your mother's voice is sweet to me
From now one, that's the way it's gonna be
[Chorus]
The moment's gold each time I hold Alice
The light goes dim and all I see is her
I hear a song
I sing along to Alice
And all those wonderful feelings still occur
I feel bold each time I hold Alice
We dance until the music is all gone
There's still a crush, there's still a blush on Alice
Time stands still and we'll go dancing on
Time stands still and we'll go dancing on

A complete masterpiece! Where can I find the piano sheet music ?
I have a background track, but not the sheet music.
@@georgec.bouras937 what’s your email?
Absolutely wonderful song! Does the sheet music exist?
