Move On by Stephen Sondheim Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1984

[DOT, spoken]
Are you working on something new?

[GEORGE, spoken]
No. 

[DOT, spoken]
That is not like you, George

[GEORGE]
I've nothing to say

[DOT, spoken]
You have many things

[GEORGE]
Well, nothing that's not been said

[DOT]
Said by you, though, George
[GEORGE]
I do not know where to go

[DOT]
And nor did I

[GEORGE]
I want to make things that count
Things that will be new...

[DOT]
I did what I had to do...

[GEORGE]
What am I to do?

[DOT]
Move on...

Stop worrying where you're going
Move on
If you can know where you're going
You've gone
Just keep moving on

I chose, and my world was shaken
So what?
The choice may have been mistaken
The choosing was not
You have to move on
Look at what you want
Not at where you are
Not at what you'll be
Look at all the things you've done for me

Opened up my eyes
Taught me how to see
Notice every tree

[GEORGE]
Notice every tree...

[DOT]
Understand the light

[GEORGE]
Understand the light...

[DOT]
Concentrate on now

[GEORGE]
I want to move on
I want to explore the light
I want to know how to get through
Through to something new
Something of my own
[GEORGE and DOT]
Move on
Move on

[DOT]
Stop worrying if your vision
Is new
Let others make that decision
They usually do
You keep moving on

[DOT and GEORGE]
Look at what you've done Something in the light
Then at what you want Something in the sky
Not at where you are In the grass
What you'll be Up behind the trees...
Look at all the things
You gave to me
Things I hadn't looked at 'til now Let me give to you
Flower in your hat Something in return
And your smile
I would be so pleased... And the color of your hair

[GEORGE]
And the way you catch the light
And the care
And the feeling
And the life
Moving on

[DOT]
We've always belonged
Together!

[GEORGE and DOT]
We will always belong
Together!

[DOT]
Just keep moving on
Anything you do
Let it come from you
Then it will be new
Give us more to see
