[00:00.0]Could I Leave You? - From Follies - The London Theater Orchestra
[00:03.84]Leave you Leave you
[00:05.62]How could I leave you How could I go it alone
[00:10.51]Could I wave the years away With a quick goodbye
[00:14.12]How do you wipe tears away when your eyes are dry
[00:18.27]Sweetheart lover could I recover
[00:21.81]Give up the joys I have known
[00:24.84]Not to fetch your pills again every day at five
[00:28.48]Not to give those dinners for ten elderly men from the UN
[00:32.26]How could I survive Could I leave you
[00:36.4]And your shelves of the world's best books
[00:40.18]And the evenings of martyred looks cryptic sighs
[00:45.31]Sullen glares from those injured eyes
[00:48.73]Leave the quips with a sting jokes with a sneer
[00:52.38]Passionless lovemaking once a year
[00:54.71]Leave the lies ill-concealed and the wounds never healed
[00:59.54]And the game's not worth winning and wait I'm just beginning
[01:04.86]What leave you leave you How could I leave you
[01:08.84]What would I do on my own Putting thoughts of you aside
[01:13.67]In the south of France would I think of suicide
[01:16.88]Darling shall we dance Could I live through the pain
[01:22.63]On a terrace in Spain Would it pass It would pass
[01:27.94]Could I bury my rage with a boy half your age
[01:31.86]In the grass Bet your ass
[01:35.1]But I've done that already or didn't you know love
[01:42.3]Tell me how could I leave when I left long ago love
[01:49.97]Could I leave you No the point is could you leave me
[01:55.759995]Well I guess you could leave me the house leave me the flat
[02:00.69]Leave me the Braques and Chagalls and all that
[02:04.07]You could leave me the stocks for sentiment's sake
[02:07.7]And ninety percent of the money you make
[02:10.71]And the rugs and the cooks darling you keep the drugs
[02:14.95]Angel you keep the books honey I'll take the grand
[02:17.95999]Sugar you keep the spinet and all of our friends and
[02:20.83]Just wait a goddamn minute
