can you name a song about time? WE DECIDED ON A SONG!!

Posted: 5/23/05 at 6:16pm

Hi guys. I am producing my partner's cabaret and we need a suggestion from all you musical theater whizzes. We are opening with the "Life of the Party" from The Wild Party (Lippa) but we want to end the show with a song that is about time or time being up. Something like that. NOT "The Party's Over". That just seems to cliche'. Can anyone thing of a good song from a show or a standard that will end our cabaret that has something to do with time being up?? We are stuck!

thanks, y'all.

Well... there's a song called "Time" asking where time went... but it's not from a musical...

Sum, we thought about it, but we don't think it's going to work for our show. Keep on thinking everyone! I know someone can think of the perfect song for us.

Uh... this is pathetic: the only one I can think of is Time Warp.

Coffee in a Cardboard Cup, not because it has anything to do with time but just cause I love that song.

we are thinking about doing When It Ends from the other Wild Party. It would be a little inside joke that the show starts with one Wild Party and ends with another Wild Party. You know the song that Eartha Kitt sings? the key is weird but it can be transposed.

I don't think that would be an appropriate choice to end a show with though. Love that song however.

EFX is the special effects musical that played in Vegas first with Michael Crawford then David Cassidy and Tommy Tune and Rick Springfild. Anyway, "Somewhere in Time" was in the Michael Crawford version and it was just a really beautiful song that was pre-recorded and played prior to the show when everyone was taking their seats. it talks about time being a circle and how the beginning is the end and the end is the beginning... it's just a perdy song...

The song that you need to check out is called "Everytime We Say Goodbye" by Cole Porter. It's exactly what you are looking for.

What about "The Next Ten Minutes" from The Last 5 Years, or "Moving Too Fast" from the same score?
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.
