Do I Hear a Waltz? (Do You Hear a Waltz?, 1960)
Stephen Sondheim
[YOUNG WOMAN]
Do I hear a waltz?
I don't understand
It sounds like a waltz
But where is the band?
A rose is a rose
And this isn't Vienna
It's me, I suppose—
Hold your hat! There it goes
Again a
Remarkable waltz
That seems to be real
But is it a waltz
Or just how I feel?
Peculiar‚ if true
But the Danube was never so blue
Every time I look up and see you
I hear a waltz!
A rose is a rose
And this isn't Vienna
It's me‚ I suppose—
Hold your hat! There it goes
Again a
Remarkable waltz
That seems to be real
But is it a waltz
Or just how I feel?
Peculiar‚ if true
But the Danube was never so blue
Every time I look up and see you
I hear a waltz!
