If we're talking about "most beautiful," and I'm only allowed to pick one, I'd definitely go with "How Could I Ever Know" from The Secret Garden. A little surprised that no one above me has mentioned it.

If I choose "Springtime for Hitler" can I keep both my babies?

Well in all honesty Robbie I think "Good Thing Going" is a prettier song than "Not A Day Goes By".

But "Not A Day" resonates with me on a personal level so it gets the edge.


....but the world goes 'round

"How Could I Ever Know" was on my admittedly rather long list.

If we really have to choose just one...and if I exclude "Begin the Beguine" because in my mind it's really a standard more than a song from a musical (in the sense that I don't know anything about the show it's from), I'd have to go with "Back to Before" from Ragtime.

I was totally prepared to say Sunday, for the obvious reasons, but then Good Thing Going was mentioned. Damn.

Plus, although this may be more of a personal favorite, there's Not While I'm Around, which I've always found to be really beautiful.


I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

"Jon, I think Robbie was referring to Sunday from Sunday in the Park with George."

Gee, I thought he was referring to "Sunday" from Flower Drum Song.

Wasn't this thread supposed to be about a beautiful song?

There are so many, but I've always found the Night instrumental song from Les Miserables to be gorgeous. Honorable mentions would be Walking Among My Yesterdays, A Little Fall of Rain, Les Miz Finale, Another Winter in a Summer Town, and I Won't Send Roses.
