Lyrics : Something Just Broke

I was out
In the yard
Taking down the bed sheets
When my neighbor yelled across:
I remember where I was
Just exactly where I was
In the yard out back—

I was getting me a shoeshine—

—Folding sheets—

—When I heard—

We were waiting for a carriage—

—Newsboys—

Suddenly there's shouting in the street—
—Lizzie's sheets...

"The president's been shot."

I'll remember it forever—

...And I thought:

—Where I was, what I was doing—

Something just broke

"The president's been shot."

My God—!

Something just broke
I was down at the Exchange...

Something just made a little dent

I'd been shopping...

I'd been sick...

Something just broke—

All I know, it was a Friday...

—Only for a moment

I remember it exactly...

Something got bent
I'm taking the order—

Something just left a little mark

I was getting dressed...

—Two potato soups...

Something just stirred

And I thought—
And I thought to myself—

Something just woke

And I thought—
I kept thinking

Something just spoke
Something I wish I hadn't heard
Something bewildering occurred
Fix it up fast
Please—
'Til it's just smoke
'Til it's only something just pa**ed
Nothing that will last

Where I was, what I was doing

Nothing but the moment
Just an awful moment
But—
Something just broke
Something just broke
Something just—

The show that's closest to exactly what the book writer and I wanted, I'd say is A**a**ins. Every time I see it I can't think of ways to improve it. And I can't say that about any other show.
