This song is from the musical “Follies” and is about Sally, a woman who feels like she’s married to the wrong person when she meets the man she was in love with when she was 19 (Ben Stone). In this song, Sally confesses her love for Ben, and says that she thinks about him every day and all the time,...
[SALLY]
The sun comes up
I think about you
The coffee cup
I think about you
I want you so
It's like I'm losing my mind
The morning ends
I think about you
I talk to friends
I think about you
And do they know
It's like I'm losing my mind?
All afternoon
Doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left
Not going right
I dim the lights
And think about you
Spend sleepless nights
To think about you
You said you loved me
Or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
All afternoon
Doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left
Not going right
I dim the lights
And think about you
Spend sleepless nights
To think about you
You said you loved me
Or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
Losing My Mind was written by Stephen Sondheim.
Losing My Mind was produced by Dick Jones.
From Sondheim’s Finishing the Hat:
Musically, this was less an homage to than a theft of Gershwin’s “The Man I Love,” complete with near-stenciled rhythms and harmonies. But it had a difference: a lyric written not in the style of his brother, but of Dorothy Fields.
