I Walk A Little Faster

I Walk A Little Faster
music by Cy Coleman (lower right)
lyric by Carolyn Leigh (upper right)

Up Madison, down Park, ev'ry day and often after dark.
Pretending that we'll meet each time I turn a corner;
I walk a little faster, pretending that it's sweet,
'Cause love is around the corner.

I walk a little faster, can't begin to see my future shine as yet,
No sign, as yet, you're mine, as yet.
Rushing t'ward a face I can't divine, as yet.

Keep thumping in your wall, ouch!
Taking lots of falls,

And even though I meet at each and every corner with nothing but disaster,
I set my chin a little higher, hope a little longer, build a little stronger castle in the air,
And thinking you'll be there,
I walk a little faster...
