"Send In The Clowns" lyrics - CECILE MCLORIN SALVANT

CECILE MCLORIN SALVANT
"Send In The Clowns"

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around
One who can't move
And where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns

[Bridge:]
Just when I'd stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there

Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career?
Where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns
Quick, send in the clowns

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge:]
What a surprise
Who could foresee
I'd come to feel about you what you felt about me?
Why only now when I see that you've drifted away?
What a surprise
What a cliche

Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry, my dear
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns
Quick, send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here
