Broadway revival (2009) A Little Night Music the Musical - Night Waltz 2 - The Sun Sits Low Lyrics
The song is written by Stephen Sondheim.
MRS. NORDSTROM: The sun sits low And the vespers ring,
MR. ERLANSEN: And the shadows grow And the crickets sing, And it's--
MRS. NORDSTROM: Look! Is that the moon?
MR. ERLANSEN: Yes. What a lovely afternoon!
MRS. NORDSTROM: Yes.
MR. ERLANSEN: The evening air Doesn't feel quite right...
MRS. NORDSTROM: In the not-quite glare Of the not-quite night, And it's-- Wait! Is that a star?
MR. ERLANSEN: No. Just the glow of a cigar.
MRS. NORDSTROM: Oh.
MR. LINDQUIST: The atmosphere's becoming heady, The ambiance thrilling.
MRS. SEGSTROM: The spirits unsteady, The flesh far from willing.
MR. LINDQUIST: To be perpetually ready Is far from fulfilling.
MRS. SEGSTROM: But wait! The sun is dipping.
MR. LINDQUIST: Where?--You're right! It's dropping. Look! At last it's slipping.
MRS. SEGSTROM: Sorry, my mistake, it's stopping.
QUINTET: The light is pink And the air is still And the sun is slink- Ing behind the hill. And when finally it sets, As finally it must, When finally it lets The moon and stars adjust, When finally we greet the dark And we're breathing amen,
MRS. ANDERSSEN: Surprise of surprises, It instantly rises Again.
