On a Clear Day
Eliza Bed! Bed! I couldn't go to bed!
My head's too light to try to set it down! Sleep! Sleep!
I couldn't sleep tonight.
Not for all the jewels in the crown!
On a clear day you can see forever,
And still have begged forever more.
On a clear day spread a little better, I've never done before.
I'll never know what made it so exciting,
Why all at once my heart took for? I only know when he
Began to dance with me
You can see forever, and ever, and ever more!
Servant 1 It's after three now.
Servant 2 Don't you agree now,
She ought to be in bed.
Eliza On a clear day you can see forever,
And still have begged forever more.
On a clear day spread a little better, I've never done before.
I'll never know what made it so exciting.
Why all at once my heart took for? I only know when he
Began to dance with me.
You can see forever, and ever, and ever more!
Mrs. Pearce I understand, dear.
It's all been grand, dear.
But now it's time to sleep.
Eliza On a clear day you can see forever,
And still have begged forever more.
On a clear day spread a little better, I've never done before.
I'll never know what made it so exciting.
Why all at once my heart took for? I only know when he
Began to dance with me
You can see forever, and ever, and ever more!
My head's too light to try to set it down! Sleep! Sleep!
I couldn't sleep tonight.
Not for all the jewels in the crown!
On a clear day you can see forever,
And still have begged forever more.
On a clear day spread a little better, I've never done before.
I'll never know what made it so exciting,
Why all at once my heart took for? I only know when he
Began to dance with me
You can see forever, and ever, and ever more!
Servant 1 It's after three now.
Servant 2 Don't you agree now,
She ought to be in bed.
Eliza On a clear day you can see forever,
And still have begged forever more.
On a clear day spread a little better, I've never done before.
I'll never know what made it so exciting.
Why all at once my heart took for? I only know when he

Why all at once my heart took for? I only know when he

You can see forever, and ever, and ever more!
