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
Stephen Joshua Sondheim (New York, March 22, 1930 – New York, November 26, 2021) was an American composer, lyricist, and playwright considered one of the most important figures in 20th-century musical theatre. His influence on the development of the modern musical genre is fundamental. Sondheim composed some of the most significant works in the American theatrical landscape of the second half of the 20th century, including *A Little Night Music*, *Sweeney Todd* and *Into the Woods*. He also collaborated as a lyricist with renowned composers like Leonard Bernstein for *West Side Story* and Jule Styne for *Gypsy: A Musical Fable*. Besides musical theatre, Sondheim composed original soundtracks for films such as *Stavisky the Great* (1974), *Reds* (1980) and *Dick Tracy* (1990). For the latter, he wrote the song *Sooner or Later*, which earned him an Oscar for Best Original Song in 1991. Among his most representative songs are *Send in the Clowns* from *A Little Night Music*, *The Ballad of Sweeney Todd* from *Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street* and *Agony* from *Into the Woods*.
