If He Walked Into My Life (from Mame)

Jerry Herman

[KAREN MORROW]
Where's that boy with the bugle?
My little love who was always my big romance
Where's that boy with the bugle?
And why did I ever buy him those damn long pants?

Did he need a stronger hand?
Did he need a lighter touch?
Was I soft or was I tough?
Did I give enough?
Did I give too much?

At the moment that he needed me
Did I ever turn away?
Would I be there when he called
If he walked into my life today?
Were his days a little dull?
Were his nights a little wild?
Did I overstate my plan?
Did I stress the man
And forget the child?

And there must have been a million things
That my heart forgot to say
Would I think of one or two
If he walked into my life today?

Should I blame the times I pampered him
Or blame the times I bossed him?
What a shame!
I never really found the boy before I lost him

Were the years a little fast?
Was his world a little free?
Was there too much of a crowd
All too lush and loud
And not enough of me?

Though I'll ask myself my whole life long
What went wrong along the way?
Would I make the same mistakes
If he walked into my life today?
If that boy with the bugle
Walked into my life today
