From the Broadway Musical
Music and Lyric by Jerry Herman
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Verse
WHERE’S THAT BOY WITH THE BUGLE?
MY LITTLE LOVE WHO WAS ALWAYS MY BIG ROMANCE,
WHERE’S THAT BOY WITH THE BUGLE?
AND WHY DID I EVER BUY HIM THOSE DAMN LONG PANTS?
Chorus
DID HE NEED A STRONGER HAND? DID HE NEED A LIGHTER TOUCH?
WAS I SOFT OR WAS I TOUGH? DID I GIVE ENOUGH?
DID I GIVE TOO MUCH?
AT THE MOMENT THAT HE NEEDED ME, DID I EVER TURN AWAY,
WOULD I BE THERE WHEN HE CALLED IF HE WALKED INTO MY LIFE TODAY?
WERE HIS DAYS A LITTLE DULL? WERE HIS NIGHTS A LITTLE WILD?
DID I OVERSTATE MY PLAN? DID I STRESS THE MAN?
AND FORGET THE CHILD?
AND THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A MILLION THINGS,
THAT MY HEART FORGOT TO SAY,
WOULD I THINK OF ONE OR TWO IF HE WALKED INTO MY LIFE TODAY?
SHOULD I BLAME THE TIMES I PAMPERED HIM,
OR BLAME THE TIMES I BOSSED HIM,
WHAT A SHAME I NEVER REALLY FOUND THE BOY....
BEFORE I LOST HIM,
WERE THE YEARS A LITTLE FAST? WAS HIS WORLD A LITTLE FREE?
WAS THERE TOO MUCH OF A CROWD?
ALL TOO LUSH AND LOUD AND NOT ENOUGH OF ME.
THOUGH I’LL ASK MYSELF MY WHOLE LIFE LONG,
WHAT WENT WRONG ALONG THE WAY,
WOULD I MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES IF HE WALKED INTO MY LIFE TODAY?
Tag
IF THAT BOY WITH THE BUGLE WALKED INTO MY LIFE TODAY?
“MAME”
IF HE WALKED
INTO MY LIFE
Drop me an "E" any time.
