Send in The Clowns Lyrics

This is a song about a couple of adult people Who have spent, oh, quite a long time together Till one day one of 'em gets restless and decides to leave Whether it's the man or woman who left is unimportant
It's a breakup It's a lovely marriage of words and music Written by Stephen Sondheim
Isn't it rich? Are we a pair? Me here at last on the ground and you in mid-air Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve? One who keeps tearing around and one who can't move But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Just when I stopped opening doors Finally finding the one that I wanted was yours Making my entrance again with my usual flair Sure of my lines, nobody's there
Don't you love a farce? My fault, I fear I thought that you'd want what I want, sorry, my dear But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns Don't bother, they're here
Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer? Losing my timing this late in my career But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns Well, maybe next year
