When?

Stephen Sondheim

Ella, look at me
This way, Ella
Ella, concentrate hard
Ella, hear me
And turn before I deal another card

No, don't look at me
Don't look up now
If you look at me, then
I will look at you, happily
And they will see how much I like you

When will I get to know you, Ella?
When will we meet?
When will we speak?
When will I once again touch your cheek?
When?

So much I want to show you, Ella
Sights we can see
Things we can do
Poems I've written
Especially for you
But when?

I pass
I pass, I pass the hours planning
Things to teach you
Pass the hours planning
Ways to reach you
When, when, when
One heart
One heart is beating wildly
Can you hear my heart is beating wildly?
You are near it
When will we be alone together?
When will we meet?
When will we speak?
When will I once again touch your cheek?
When?

"Ella, gay as a tarantella"
"Pure as larks singing a cappella"
"Let my poem be your umbrella"
Ella, poets who suffer pain
Should fall in love with girls named Jane
Not Ella

When, Ella, when?
I long to teach
Your eyes how to read
Hands how to write
Lips how to speak
But night after night
When? When? When? When? When? When? When?

I see you scouring and mending
Pale and dreamy
Bending and pretending
Not to see me
When? When? When?

I see you smile at me in Notions
While you're cooking
Cover your emotions
Look, they're looking
When will we ever be together?
When is the time?
Where is the place?
When can I once again touch your face?
When? When? When? When? When? When?
When? When? When? When? When?

"Harkins absent
The daylight darkens"
Ella, what kind of coward am I?
This I will not allow
Ella, what if they do their worst?
I'll see you first
We'll be together

Now, Ella, now girl
I shall show
Your hands how to touch
Eyes how to glow
Lips how to kiss
I've so much to show
Then you will blossom
Then you will grow
And then then then then then then then
Then then then then then then then
