Giants.in.the.Sky.
hands down, my favorite.
(although Marry Me a Little is a great song too but its done by both males and females so I don't think it counts)
And hang on, when did you win the discus?

NO ONE HAS EVER LOVED ME ( PASSION) but the extended version sang in the London production which includes I LOVE FOSCA. If you have heard the Michael Ball version, it is incredible.
I REMEMBER - was this originally sung by a female? I thought I heard it sung by Anthony Perkins in the original TV production - I could be mistaken, though. It is my favourite Sondheim song. Have you heard the Christmas version ( with added lyrics) by Barbra Streisand.
Another song for a female is BROADWAY BABY - but I have heard it sung by Michael Ball in a CD of a Sondheim tribute concert in London and it worked out fine ( camp-sounding 
).
