Stephen Sondheim Finale Lyrics

[DESIREE:]
What a surprise
Who could foresee?
I'd come to feel about you
What you felt about me?
Why only now when I see that you've drifted away?
What a surprise
What a cliché
Isn't it rich?

[FREDRIK:]
Are we a pair?
You here at last on the ground

[DESIREE:] You in mid-air
Was that a farce?

[FREDRIK:]
My fault, I fear

[DESIREE:]
Me as a merry-go-round

[FREDRIK:]
Me as King Lear
Make way for the clowns

[DESIREE:]
Applause for the clowns

[FREDRIK & DESIREE:]
They're finally here
