Tell Me On A Sunday (Andrew Lloyd Webber)

Andrew Lloyd Webber ``Tell Me On A Sunday´´

Tell Me On A Sunday
Song Version by: Marti Webb

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

I 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

12 people were told on MONDAY! :p

Beautiful song <3 definitely needs a repeat button.

[hurricaneUK]

Personally I think the lyricist - Don Black - should be getting some credit too.

[HeathenSaxon]

snore...

[chlorr]

this has always been a great audition song for me. :D

@krycekification you just wish you had a girlfriend...

@ballerinagirl1001 Saw "Song and Dance" a few years ago in London. Have also seen Marti is TMOAS in Woking about 5 years ago - Marti is superb - the best !

[krycekification]

I really want my girlfriend or fiance to sing this to me sometime. Probably wont be a good thing and perhaps we need Dr. Phil.

@itbejess Song and Dance is a two act show, with Act 1 being Tell Me On A Sunday and Act 2 being a ballet staged to Andrew Lloyd's Webbers 'Variations'- Tell Me On A Sunday is simply the one act show as it was originally written

Marti Webb has such a haunting and beautiful voice... <3

[missjessmain]

I prefer this version of TMOAS above all others I have heard. Marti is so delicate in this song, yet in others from the piece she shows a flare for passion (check out 'Let's talk about you' from the original 1980 album she made) and sultriness ('Sheldon Bloom').

I recommend hearing the album in it's entirety - it's well worth a listen.

I just did a performance of this song cycle (known more popularly as a musical now) for my MA Vocal Studies. Favourite song? 'Nothing like you've ever known'.

[grimwanderer]

Good version but, for me, Bernadette Peter's is the ultimate.

The worst thing about this video is that the music doesn't start till 12 seconds in...
