I'd sit there alone like a fool
I never was able to
make a connection
Then one day I tried out for the play
I'll never forget it, a flea in her ear,

Well, everything was okay
We'd date for a year,
then we're cohabitating
Then I get a big chance
to take the next step
Away from a job I was hating
And into a slot in the regional rep.
In rehearsal all day,

Like a puppy or a kid.
But if you really love it, you live it.
And that's what I did.

Played carousel on the
road for the winter.
From April to June I toured Cabaret.
Then Mother Courage in stock
in England all summer,
and John tried to call almost every day.
He told me he wanted some
kids and a wife,
and that's when I realized

But I'd made my choice,

And now, where's John?
I think Portland, Maine.
Or maybe it's Oregon.
With a kid and a wife.
And here is me.
Another dressing room number
one thousand and three.
Exactly where I should be.
Exactly where we should be.
And everything's okay
