It's a very short road from the pinch and the punch to the paunch and the pouch and the pension.

What if her broach is
Made of glass
And her costumes unravel?
What if her coach is
Second class?
She at least gets to travel.

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 and think about you
And do they know it's like I'm losing my mind

The hobbies you pursue together,
Savings you accrue together,
Looks you misconstrue together,
That make marriage a joy.

There are bugs on her dugs
There are flies in her eyes
There's a lump on her rump
Big enough to be a hump
AND
We've no time to sit and dither
While her withers wither with her

Pantaloons and Tunics!
Courtesans and Eunuchs!
Funerals and Chases!
Baritones and Basses!
Panderers! Philanders!
Cupidity! Timidity!
Mistakes! Fakes! Rhymes! Crimes!
Tumblers! Grumblers! Bumblers! Fumblers!
No Royal Curse! No Trojan Horse!
And a happy ending of course!
Goodness and badness, manifest madness
This time it all turns out all right!
Tragedy tomorrow, Comedy TONIGHT!

These aren't necessarily what I consider to be his greatest lyrics, but they're special to me and I love them for a number of reasons.
The child is so sweet and the girls are so rapturous. Isn't it lovely how artists can capture us? -Sunday in the Park with George
There's a lot I'll have missed but I'll not have dead when I die and a person should celebrate everything passing by. -A Little Night Music
Every morning, don't faint, I tend the flowers. Can you believe it? Every weekend I paint for umpteen hours. -Follies
Children need protection just the way they need affection or they wonder and they wander and they run from your little world. -Into the Woods
Smells like piss. Looks like piss. This is piss. Piss with ink. -Sweeney Todd
Look into their eyes and you'll see what they know, everybody DIIIIIIEEEEESSS! -Company
I DESERVE A F#CKING PRIZE -Assassins

Not clever, doesn't rhyme, isn't profound out of context, but guts me every time I hear it:
I should have worn green.
I wore green the last time,
The time I was happy.

I chose and my world was shaken. So what?
The choice may have been mistaken; the choosing was not.
You have to move on.

The roads you never take
Go through rocky ground
Don't they?
The choices that you make
Aren't all that grim.
The worlds you never see
Still will be around,
Won't they!

I'll just leave him a clue:
For example, a shoe.
And then see what he'll do.
Now it's he and not you
Who'll be stuck with a shoe,
In a stew, in the goo.
And I've learned something, too,
Something I never knew,
Famous Stephen Sondheim lyric#21

That might be effective
My body's alright
But not in perspective
And not in the light.

Ordinary daughters, which mine (I fear) is not, tend each asset, spend it wisely while it still endures. Mine tours.

Tonight, tonight, the world is full of light
With suns and moons all over the place
Tonight, tonight the world is wild and bright
Going mad, shooting sparks into space
Today the world was just an address
A place for me to live in
No better than all right
But here you are and what was just a world is a star tonight

Anyone can whistle, that's what they say, easy
Anyone can whistle any old day, easy
It's all so simple, relax, let go, let fly
Please someone tell me why can't I

Oh if life were only moments
Even now and then a bad one
But if life were only moments
Then you'd never know you had one.
