Soliloquy
Oh god, you look so awful
I hope my face won't give my shock away
You look so thin
And look at all those ugly splotches
On his face
What do I say?

What do I say?

So, should I ask him a question?
Like does he think he's gonna make it through this time?
I don't wanna upset him
Maybe I should keep it light, trite and benign
What do I say?
What do I say?

Well, I could talk about the weather
It's really been quite warm for mid-December
I can't say that I really miss the snow
But they're saying a cold snap's on its way here
But then again, what do those weather people know?
What do I say?
What do I say?

I'll talk about my life
Well, I guess I've been doing
Prеtty well
And I'm liking my job
Okay
And I'm planning to go to Florida for the holiday
And I've been working outsidе, that feels great
Maybe next week I'll up the wait
But for several nights I've been hankering for my ex
Hey, is it okay to talk about sex?
'Cause I've been alone for so long
I just get so sick of it
Gee, would you just listen to me?
How important is all this?
What do I say?

How could this be happening to you?
I feel like smashing all the bed(?) and tossing trays of food, and ripping up those tacky gowns, and pulling out tubes, sending all those doctors flying with my old deadly one-two
And after all the havoc
When things had settled down
I'd work those scientists 'round the clock
Until a cure was found
That's what I'd do
That's what I'd do
That's what I'd do
Now I look at you and remember that day in June
When we shared a lazy Sunday afternoon
There you are, all stretched out and lying in the sun
Grinning ear-to-ear
Looking out on Walden Pond
There you are, reading bits of Emily Dickinson to me
While we sip upon our chamomile tea
And such singing we did that day
From lullabies to Broadway

Oh, there you are
I watch you while you're lovingly listening to me
I go rambling on, just hoping it will keep you near
You'll know I fell free enough to say
How much I was loving you that day

You're so wonderful and funny and brilliant
So alive

There you are
But here you are
Tonight

What do I say?
What do I say?
