I agree that there is no more beautiful song than "Sunday"...but Sondheim has many runners up.

Another great song I forgot.
These lists are just silly. Too many great songs in the history of Broadway for me to choose the MOST beautiful.
Plus, my choice changes from day to day. I'm all about the Encores Merrily recording right now so Not A Day Goes By is the song du jour.
Next week it will be something else.
