"LA HIJA DE RYAN" de Bob Fosse

En 1972,  Bob Fosse, Fred Ebb (y John Kander, aunque no conste) produjeron un concierto de Liza Minnelli  para televisión: Liza con Z...  Los cuatro ya habían trabajado juntos un año antes en la adaptación fílmica del musical Cabaret. 

En ese programa de televisión Liza interpretó varios números,  entre los que se incluía también este tema
  (que algún comentario por youtube decía que podía interpretarse como una canción dedicada a la relación entre sus padres; no sé...)


It was a good time
(Mack David/Mike Curb/Maurice Jarre)

I now pronounce you for the rest of your life
I now pronounce you man and wife

It was a good time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be near you
It was a good time, it was the best time
And we believed that it would last forever
We would stay together and share the laughter
With never ever a morning after
It was a good time, it was the best time
It seemed a short time, but such a good time

Since you're gone and won't be mine again
There are many stars that will not shine again
Except some time deep in my reverie
You return and then I remember when

It was a good time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be near you
It was a good time, it was the best time
And we believed that it would last forever

Here we go 'round the mulberry bush
The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush
Here we go 'round the mulberry bush, early in the morning

Mama wakes up and she's alone
She's alone, she's alone
Mama wakes up and she's alone, early in the morning

... Falling down ... Lon ... My fair lady
Yes she looks a lot like him, yes she does, but, yes
My fair lady

Baby, baby Bunting, daddy's gone a-hunting
Daddy's gone!

... Dor-mei-vous, dor-mei-vous
Mama will stay near you, mama will be near you
Not your dad, that's too bad!

Good - bye - good - and I believed - ah-hah

Since you've gone and won't be mine again
There are many stars that will not shine again
Except some times deep in my reverie
You return and then I remember when

It - was - a - good - time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be near you
It was a good time, it was the best time
It seemed a short time, but such a good time


...  y que como algunos ya sabréis, es el tema de "La hija de Ryan" (mi película favorita de David Lean). 


PD: ¡Ay! esos títulos tan engañosos de los tebeos que leía de niño... Tanta lectura tendría que salir por algún lado, ¿no?...
