Losing My Mind

Essa canção, composta por Stephen Sondheim para o musical da Broadway "Follies", é de uma beleza ímpar - tanto na música quanto na letra.
Espero que apreciem esta linda interpretação de Marya Bravo no espetáculo "Lado a Lado com Sondheim", 2005, dirigido por Charles Möeller e Cláudio Botelho.

Losing My Mind
(Stephen Sondheim)

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,
I think about you.
And do they know?
It's like I'm losing my mind.
All afternoon,
Doing every little chore,
The thought of you stays bright.
Sometimes I stand
In the middle of the floor,
Not going left,
Not going right.
I dim the lights
And think about you,
Spend sleepless nights
To think about you.
You said you loved me,
Or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
I want you so,
It's like I'm losing my mind.
Does no one know?
It's like I'm losing my mind.
All afternoon,
Doing every little chore,
The thought of you stays bright.
Sometimes I stand
In the middle of the floor,
Not going left,
Not going right.
I dim the lights
And think about you,
Spend sleepless nights
To think about you.
You said you loved me,
Or were you just being kind!
Or am I losing my mind?
