Those are the saddest lines Stephen Sondheim wrote. Amazing live rendition of it below the clip (just the recording, sadly) – Tim Curry performing it. I’ve heard a ton of versions of this song, it’s one of my favorites in the entire Sondheim catalog – I find it devastating – but boy do I love Tim Curry’s rendition. Wow.<\/p>\n
“Losing My Mind” – from Follies<\/i><\/p>\n
The sun comes up
\nI think about you
\nThe coffee cup
\nI think about you
\nI want you so
\nIt’s like I’m losing my mind<\/p>\n
The morning ends
\nI think about you
\nI talk to friends
\nI think about you
\nAnd do they know
\nIt’s like I’m losing my mind<\/p>\n
All afternoon doing every little chore
\nThe thought of you stays bright
\nSometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
\nNot going left
\nNot going right<\/p>\n
I dim the lights
\nAnd think about you
\nSpend sleepless nights
\nTo think about you
\nYou said you loved me
\nOr were you just being kind?
\nOr am I losing my mind?<\/p>\n
All afternoon doing every little chore
\nThe thought of you stays bright
\nSometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
\nNot going left
\nNot going right<\/p>\n
I dim the lights
\nAnd think about you
\nSpend sleepless nights
\nTo think about you
\nYou said you loved me
\nOr were you just being kind?
\nOr am I losing my mind?<\/p>\n
