PATTI LuPONE (live) “Meadowlark” from the (flop) Broadway show The Bakers Wife, 1976. It’s a cult favorite. Stephen Schwartz is the composer, and this recording is from Patti LuPone’s show “On Broadway” 1997. (Patti chats with the audience at the end. We will try to find the song from Oliver that she references.–PG)
“Come along,
fly with me, my meadowlark,
fly with me on the silver morning,
past the sea where the dolphins bark
we will dance on the coral beaches,
make a feast of the plums and peaches
just as far as your vision reaches
fly with me.”
Patti LuPone speaks to the audience and introduces a song which we will post shortly—from Oliver.
“As Long As He Needs Me”. Patty LuPone from Oliver:
