Heart and Music (Off-Broadway) Lyrics
[THE MINISTER]
Stories of passion
Stories of friendship
And tales of how romance survives
[GORDON]
I have so many songs…
[THE MINISTER]
Stories of yeses
Of frogs making messes
And poor, unsuccessful, and fat people’s lives
[GORDON]
Stories of living
Stories of dying
[GORDON AND THE MINISTER]
Ways we can deal with our fear
[GORDON]
Stories of horses
Parental divorces
And how rich or poor
It’s a very small sphere
Where we appear
[GORDON]
But you gotta have
Heart and music
Heart and music
Heart and music
Get along
[ALL]
You gotta have
Heart and music
You gotta have
Heart and music
Heart and music
Make a song
[GORDON]
If I only had the time
What I would write
For your delight
[THE MINISTER]
Stories of illness
Songs of improving
[ALL]
And everyone talks about change
[GORDON]
I have so many songs…
[ALL]
Stories of stillness
Of people not moving
[GORDON]
And throwing out books
When things turn out too strange
We rearrange
[ALL]
But you gotta have
Heart and music
You gotta have
Heart and music
Heart and music
Get along
[ALL OVERLAPPING]
You gotta have heart and music
Heart and music
Heart and music
Make a song
Oh, you gotta have
Heart and music
Heart and music
Heart and music
Get along
Oh, you gotta have
Heart and music
Heart and music
Heart and music
Make a song
[ALL]
You’ll always get along with your
Heart and music
You’ll always get along
With your heart
And music
[GORDON]
Heart and music make
[ALL]
Heart and music make
Heart and music make
[GORDON]
Make a song
[ALL]
Heart and music make a song!
