Stephen Sondheim
In Buddy’s Eyes
[Verse]
Life is slow but it seems exciting
'Cause Buddy's there
Gourmet cooking and letter writing
And knowing Buddy's there
Every morning—don't faint—
I tend the flowers
Can you believe it?
Every weekend, I paint
For umpteen hours

[Pre-Chorus]
And, yes, I miss a lot
Living like a shut-in
No, I haven't got
Cooks and cars and diamonds
Yes, my clothes are not
Paris fashions, but in

[Chorus]
Buddy's eyes
I'm young, I'm beautiful
In Buddy's eyes
I don't get older
So life is ducky
And time goes flying
And I'm so lucky
I feel like crying
And...
[Piano Solo]

[Chorus]
In Buddy's eyes
I'm young, I'm beautiful
In Buddy's eyes
I don't get older
I'm still the princess
Still the prize
In Buddy's eyes
I'm young, I'm beautiful
In Buddy's arms
On Buddy's shoulder
I won't get older
Nothing dies

[Outro]
And all I ever dreamed I'd be
The best I ever thought of me
Is every minute there to see
In Buddy's eyes
