Lonny Price, Original Broadway Cast, Jim Walton and Donna Marie Elio - Merrily We Roll Along (1964-1962) / Good Thing Going [Original Broadway Cast Recording]

Dreams don't die
So keep an eye on your dream

'Cause before you know where you are
There you are

Time goes by
And dreams go dry

But you can't give up
On your dream

Tend your dream
Dreams take time
Time goes by

Some roads are easy
Some roads are all uphill
Some roads you plod along with a will
Some roads you travel just for the thrill

Bend your dream
With the road

Some rides are breezy
Some roads are full of jiggles and bumps
Can't let it get you down in the dumps

Don't let it get you down in the dumps!

Just roll
Always roll

Some roads are easy
Some rides are breezy
Some roads are all uphill

Everybody roll

Some roads are full of bumps
Know what you want to do
Where you're willing to go

Keep an eye on your dream
While you're traveling!

What you really want to see
While you're traveling!

Have you seen?
How was it?
You're not serious!
Do you mean?
That does it!
You're not serious!
Have you seen?
How was it?
You're not serious!
Do you mean?
That does it!
You're not serious!
Have you seen?
How was it?
You're not serious!
Do you mean?
That does it!
You're not serious!

We had the best!
Darling!
We saw the most

Did you read?
It'll never!
We saw the first!
What they need!
Did you ever!
Was that the worst?

Best!
It's the first!
It's the finest!
It's the latest!
It's the least!
It's the worst!
It's the absolutely lowest!
It's the greatest!
It's the single!

Hi!

Dreadful!

Fabulous!

All right, now quiet, everybody, please
Fermez all those bouches, because someday you are going to be able to say, "I was there when"

The most exciting composer ever is going to play a song we hope will be in our new show
And when he finishes you're all going to want to swallow poison
Because there will be nothing more to live for

Frank, what is she talking about?

Later, Charley

It started out like a song
We started quiet and slow
With no surprise
And then one morning I woke
To realize
We had a good thing going

It's not that nothing went wrong:
Some angry moments, of course
But just a few
And only moments, no more
Because we knew
We had this good thing going

And if I wanted too much
Was that such
A mistake
At the time?
You never wanted enough
All right, tough
I don't make
That a crime

And while it's going along
You take for granted some love
Will wear away
We took for granted a lot
And still I say:
It could have kept on growing
Instead of just kept on
We had a good thing going
Going
Gone

Keep them right there We want to hear it again
Tell them! One mo' time!

Frank, say "No"

Charley, they loved it
They thought we were great

You wanna know what true greatness is? It's knowing when to get off

I'll sing with you

No, no

Come on

No, that's not the point
I really-

It started out like a song
We started quiet and slow
With no surprise
And then one morning I woke
To realize

So we bought this little condominium

We had a good thing going

Shh!

It's not that nothing went wrong:
Some angry moments

Did you hear?

No kidding!

You're not serious!

Of course
But just a few

Shh!

And only moments, no more

Dadadadada

Shh!

It's a clear case of Tammany politics

We were stuck in the tunnel till half past six!

Darling!
They're perfectly darling!

Because we knew
We had this good thing going

It's only the best
It's the first
It's the finest
It's the latest
It's the least
It's the worst
It's the absolutely lowest
It's the greatest
It's the single
It's the only
It's the perfect
It's the

And if I wanted too much
Was that such
A mistake
