I actually think I Remember is one of his best songs. Not only is the melody beautiful, but those lyrics are GENIUS. I use them in class to teach imagery and metaphor. I mean:

"I remember trees.
Bare as coatracks,
Spread like broken umbrellas"

That's just sheer genius, especially when you keep in mind who the character singing the song is.

Hi, Shirley Temple Pudding.

Jasonf, I ABSOLUTELY agree. My voice teacher introduced me to I Remember to use for an audition for my high school's musical. She described it as "very raw, early Sondheim," which I think is very accurate. I think there's a definite unpolished, brilliant simplicity in the song.

I think the entire score of "A Little Night Music" is absolutely breath taking. Every single 3/4 time signature bit of it.
Even Liasons.

I Remember.. that song is truly haunting. Gorgeous.

Otherwise...
Sticking with melodic songs...

Not While I'm Around
Losing My Mind
Now/Later/Soon.. I orgasm everytime when they get to the trio.
Not A Day Goes By
Loving You
Marry Me A Little
SO much from Sunday...

So many tunes to hum..

Personally, I think I have too much bloom.

I have to say...'Send in the Clowns' wins for me or 'Stay with me' from Woods.

"So Many People" and a whole lot of others. In fact there are way to many to mention.

For me, it has to be: "I Remember", "Not a Day Goes By", and "Send in the Clowns". Runner ups: "Children Will Listen" and Happiness. Amazing melodies, all - and divine lyrics.
