Songtext zu 'A Very Nice Prince / First Midnight / Giants In The Sky' von Into The Woods

[Cinderella]
He's a very nice Prince

[Baker's Wife]
And?

[Cinderella]
And-
It's a very nice ball

[Baker's Wife]
And?

[Cinderella]
And-
When I entered they trumpeted

[Baker's Wife]
And?
The Prince?

[Cinderella]
Oh, the Prince

[Baker's Wife]
Yes, the Prince!

[Cinderella]
Well, he's tall

[Baker's Wife]
Is that all?
Did you dance?
Is he charming?
They say that he's charming

[Cinderella]
We did nothing but dance

[Baker's Wife]
Yes? And?

[Cinderella]
And it made a nice change

[Baker's Wife]
No, the Prince!

[Cinderella]
Oh, the Prince

[Baker's Wife]
Yes, the Prince

[Cinderella]
He has charm for a Prince, I guess

[Baker's Wife]
Guess?

[Cinderella]
I don't meet a wide range

[Baker's Wife]
Did he bow?
Was he cold and polite?

[Cinderella]
And it's all very strange

[Baker's Wife]
Did he speak? Did he flirt?
Could you tell right away he was royalty?
Is he sensitive
Clever
Well-mannered
Considerate
Passionate
Charming
As kind as he's handsome
As wise as he's rich
Is he everything you've ever wanted?

[Cinderella]
Would I know?

[Baker's Wife]
Well, I know

[Cinderella]
But how can you know what you want
Till you get what you want
And you see if you like it?

[Baker's Wife]
Would I know?

[Cinderella]
All I know is-

[Baker's Wife]
I never wish-

[Cinderella]
What I want most of all-

[Baker's Wife]
Just within reason

[Cinderella]
Is to know what I want

[Baker's Wife]
When you know you can't have what you want
Where's the profit in wishing?

[Both]
He's a very nice Prince

[Baker's Wife]
What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes

[Cinderella]
Will you look over there, an enormous beanstalk
Growing next to that little cottage

[Baker's Wife]
I mean slippers as pure as gold

[Cinderella]
I must get home

[Baker's Wife]
I need you shoes
Wait!

[Baker]
One midnight gone

[Mysterious man]
No know unties itself

[Witch]
Sometimes the things you most wish for are not
To be touched

[Princes]
The harder to get, the better to have

[Florinda]
Never wear mauve at a ball

[Lucinda]
Or pink

[Stepmother]
Or open your mouth

[Jack]
The difference between a cow and a bean
Is a bean can begin an adventure

[Jack's Mother]
Slotted spoons don't hold much soup

[Little Red Riding Hood]
The prettier the flower, the farther from the path

[Cinderella's Father]
The closer to the family, the closer to the wine

[Rapunzel]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

[Witch]
One midnight gone!

[Granny]
The mouth of a wolf's not the end of the world

[Steward]
A servant is not just a dog, to a Prince

[Cinderella]
Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor

[Baker's Wife]
You may know what you need
But to get what you want
Better see that you keep what you have

[Baker]
One midnight gone

[Witch]
Sometimes the things you most wish for are not
To be touched

[Princes]
The harder to get
The better to have
Agreed

[Baker]
One midnight gone one midnight gone

[Florinda]
Never wear mauve at a ball

[Lucinda]
Or pink

[Jack's Mother]
Slotted spoons don't hold much soup

[Baker's Wife]
To get what you want
Better keep what you

[Little Red Riding Hood]
The prettier the flower

[All]
One midnight gone

Into the woods
Into the woods
Into the woods, then out of the woods
And home before-

[Jack]
There are Giants in the sky!
There are big tall terrible Giants
In the sky!

When you're way up high
And you look below
At the world you left
And the things you know
Little more than a glance
Is enough to show
You just how small you are

When you're way up high
And you're own your own
In a world like none
That you've ever known
Where the sky is lead
And the earth is stone

You're free, to do
Whatever pleases you
Exploring things you'd never dare
'Cause you don't care
When suddenly there's

A big tall terrible Giant at the door
A big tall terrible lady Giant
Sweeping the floor

And she gives you food
And she gives you rest
And she draws you close
To her Giant breast
And you know things now
That you never knew before
Not till the sky

Only just when you've made
A friend and all
And you know she's big
But you don't feel small
Someone bigger than her
Comes along the hall
To swallow you for lunch

And you heart is lead
And your stomach stone
And you're really scared
Being all alone

And it's then that you miss
All the things you've known
And the world you've left
And the little you own-

The fun is done
You steal what you can and run
And you scramble down
And you look below
And the world you know
Begins to grow

The roof, the house, and your Mother at the door
The roof, the house and the world you never thought to explore
And you think of all of the things you've seen
And you wish that you could live in between
And you're back again
Only different than before
After the sky

There are Giants in the sky!
There are big tall terrible awesome scary wonderful
Giants in the sky!
