It’s Not Too Late
(The Little Comedy)
Transcribed by Lily

Alfred:
Nothing has gone the way I planned.
My life has taken turns I don’t begin to understand.
I hear the drum,
My time is come
The play’s about to start.
But I can’t recall my part.
Is the mask I’m wearing comical or tragic?

Something precious has been lost.
My mind keeps going over all the bridges I have crossed.
Yet strange to say,
As dark and grey
And hopeless as it seems,
I am not without my dreams.
Though it sounds naïve, I still believe in magic.

Why is it too late
For falling in love?
Isn’t there some chance
Of finding romance with someone young and sweet.
Someone I have yet to meet?
There is a voice inside my head that keeps repeating
It’s not too late!
It’s not too late!
It’s not too late!

Josefine:
Lately, I’ve been taking stock.
I find I’m going wary of the ticking of the clock.
The years have passed
And I’ve amassed
My share of souvenirs.
Yet each day the dawn appears
And the hope within me just continues growing!

Alfred & Josefine:
Why is too late for falling in love
Isn’t there some chance of finding romance

Josefine:
just walking down the street
Heaven knows what I might meet

Aldred & Josefine:
There’s a voice inside my head that keeps repeating

Josephine:                             Alfred:
 It’s not too late.                   There’s no reason not to try.
 Don’t ever give up hope.       Don’t ever give up hoping and your
 It’s not too late!                   dreams will never die

Alfred & Josefine:
There’s still a chance to find romance
With someone young and sweet,
Someone I have yet to meet
Just as long as there is a heart within you beating
It’s not too late!
It’s not too late!
It’s not too late!
It’s not too late!
It’s not too late!

It’s Not Too Late (reprise)
(Summer Share)

Sam:
I’m as faithful as they come
But in my dreams, I live each moment
to the maximum.
I do the clubs,
I’ve got the moves,
I’m where the bright lights are
And I play the bass guitar…
But who says I can’t have my romantic notions?

Never say “Too late for chasing the dream.”
Never say “No chance.”
Who knows when romance
Might sweep you off your feet?
Hope is never obsolete
There’s a voice inside my head that keeps repeating
It’s not too late.
It’s not too late.

Monica:
In my dreams I’m caught off-guard.
He looks at me, I look at him, we both start breathing hard.

Sam:
I cruise around,
I cover ground,
There’s women at my feet.

Monica:
You can almost feel the heat.

Sam:
Every night I bag another gorgeous knockout.

Monica:
Oh, we go up to his hotel suite and we rock out!

Sam & Monica:
Never say “Too late for chasing a dream.”
Never say “No chance.”

Monica:
Who knows when romance
Might sweep you off your feet?

Sam:
Hope is never obsolete.

Sam & Monica:
Just as long as there’s a heart within you beating

It’s not too late.
It’s not too late.
Not too late.
Not too late,
Not too
Not too, not too late.
Not too late
Never, never, never
Never, never
Never, never,
Never, never, never too late.
It’s… not… too-oo late!
It’s not too late

Words He Doesn't Say
(Summer Share)
Transcribed by Lily

Sam:
There are words he doesn't say
Softly in your ear
There are words he doesn't say,
Words you need to hear.
There are places where he doesn't go
That he used to go before.
There are words he doesn't say
And you miss them more and more.

He doesn't say that he admires you.
He doesn't praise you very much.
He doesn't say that he desires you,
Or that he hungers for your touch.
So many words he doesn't use now,
Those little names you used to share.
And there are days he blows his fuse now,
And there are nights he's just not there.

There are words he left behind,
As the years went by.
There are words that come to mind,
Words that make you cry.
You have seen the gap between you grow,
It gets wider every day.
And you wonder what's behind
All the words he doesn't say.

He used to say what he was feeling,
And there were dreams that he'd confide.
He used to say words so revealing
That you could see the pain inside.
Now there are no words when he's hurting.
He leaves you hanging in the air.
And there are no words left for flirting,
Or running fingers through you hair.

There are words he doesn't say
Though he knows he should.
There are words he doesn't say
In the way I would.
For the truth is you deserve them so,
And they're long past overdue.
All the words he doesn't say
Are words I'd say to you.

Romantic Notions
(Summer Share)
Transcribed by Lily

When the sun has set
And the world’s in silhouette
People get romantic notions

On a summer night,
Sharing drinks by candlelight
We invite
Romantic notions

Often when I reach the end of the day,
I dream of the way
Life could be.
Gazing at the stars
I leave all my cares,
My earthly affairs behind.

Dreams don’t all come true.
Look at me and look at you.
Still, I can’t deny
Dreams help get me by.
Leave me my romantic notions.

When the fog rolls in
And the moon is paper thin,
People spin
Romantic notions

Like an August breeze,
Whistling through the willow trees.
Such are these romantic notions.

Often when I feel the binds growing tight,
I too take a flight
Of fancy.
Picturing a dream as if it were true
Helps people get through
The night.

And come out all right.
And come out all right.
We can light a spark
When the world is growing dark.

Let your vision soar.
Let your vision soar.
That’s what dreams are for.
That’s what dreams are for.

Cherish your
Romantic notions.
Cherish your
Romantic notions.
