Tell Me on a Sunday, Please

I am doing an extra post here today. I just thought I'd share the most poignant lyrics ever written about being left by your significant other. I have been listening to this song nonstop. I really need to stop.

Tell Me on a Sunday
-Andrew Lloyd Webber
Don't write a letter when you want to leave
Don't call me at 3 a.m. from a friend's apartment
I'd like to choose how I hear the news
Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday please
Let me down easy
No big song and dance
No long faces, no long looks
No deep conversation
I know the way we should spend that day
Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees
Tell me on a Sunday please
Don't want to know who's to blame
It won't help knowing
Don't want to fight day and night
Bad enough you're going
Don't leave in silence with no word at all
Don't get drunk and slam the door
That's no way to end this
I know how I want you to say goodbye
Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze
Tell me on a Sunday please
Don't want to fight day and night
Bad enough you're going
Don't leave in silence with no word at all
Don't get drunk and slam the door
That's no way to end this
I know how I want you to say goodbye
Don't run off in the pouring rain
Don't call me as they call your plane
Take the hurt out of all the pain
Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday please

LOVE that song. Saw that- was it Song and Dance it's from?

Yes, it's from Song and Dance. I think Sarah Brightman was the original West End role. Michael Crawford covered it...my favorite.
