So anyway, I'm leaving. I thought you'd like to know. You're faithful, come what may, But clearly I can't stay- We'd both go mad that way. So here I go. And anyway, I'm leaving- I guess that you can see. I'll try this on my own, A life I've never know- I'll face the dread alone, But I'll be free. With you always beside me To catch me when I fall, I'd never get to know the feel Of solid ground at all. With you always believing That we can still come through, It makes me feel the fool To know that it's not true. What doctors called dysfunction We tried to call romance. And true, it's quite a trick To tell the dancers from the dance. But rather than let chance take me, I'll take a chance... I'll take a chance on leaving. It's that, or stay and die. I loved you once, and though, You love me still, I know It's time for me to fly... I loved you once, and though, I love you still, I know It's time for me to go... And so goodbye.
She put so much emotion into it and conveyed it so well. Beautifully sung with a rich tone. Amazing.
OMG she's perfect.
Perfection. Wow.
Phenomenal. A beautiful and bittersweet song, and a gorgeous rendition.
Astonishing perfomance! Hats off

Flawless

Beautiful!
She's so good. But it never came to the West End. Or the UK at all. I wish it had.
So anyway, I'm leaving.
I thought you'd like to know.
You're faithful, come what may,
But clearly I can't stay-
We'd both go mad that way.
So here I go.
And anyway, I'm leaving-
I guess that you can see.
I'll try this on my own,
A life I've never know-
I'll face the dread alone,
But I'll be free.
With you always beside me
To catch me when I fall,
I'd never get to know the feel
Of solid ground at all.
With you always believing
That we can still come through,
It makes me feel the fool
To know that it's not true.
What doctors called dysfunction
We tried to call romance.
And true, it's quite a trick
To tell the dancers from the dance.
But rather than let chance take me,
I'll take a chance...
I'll take a chance on leaving.
It's that, or stay and die.
I loved you once, and though,
You love me still, I know
It's time for me to fly...
I loved you once, and though,
I love you still, I know
It's time for me to go...
And so goodbye.
She's fantastic. This is one of the flabbiest songs ever to become associated with the Pulitzer Prize.
