Lyrics Live Alone and Like It - Stephen Sondheim, Karen Mason

Live Alone and Like It

Live alone and like it Free as the birds in the trees
High above the briars
Live alone and like it Doing whatever you please
When your heart desires
Free to hang around or Fly at any old time
No equivocation
Most of all no guarantees
That can be your motto
Free of obligation
Only the murmuring breeze
As an obligatto
Live alone and like it Why is that such a crime?
Free to call the tune,
Free to say if you’re
Gonna work or play
You can have the moon
But you don’t have to have
It night and day
Anyway,
On your own with only
You to concern yourself
Doesn’t mean you’re lonely
Just that you’re free
Live and alone and like it Don’t come down from that tree.
That’s the answer for me That’s the answer for me
