WHO WILL BUY
(Lionel Bart (m & l) 1960)
Barbra Streisand 1963
>From the London musical Oliver (Act II) 1960.
(First musical adaptation for stage of Charles Dickens
novel ‘Oliver Twist’).
Lyrics of the stage play are slightly different due
more supporting actors and are available elsewhere on the Internet.
These particular lyrics are the Streisand version as
released on her 1963 album ‘The Second Barbra Streisand Album’.
Also sung by:
Nancy Sinatra
Aaron Neville
Sasha Dobson
Susan Rancourt
Sharon Norris
And many others...
Who will buy this wonderful morning
Such a sky you never did see
Who will tie it up with a ribbon
And put it in a box for me.
So I can see it at my leisure
When ever things go wrong
And I can keep it as a treasure
To last my whole life long.
Who will buy this wonderful feeling
I'm so high I swear I could fly
Me oh my, I don't want to lose it
So what am I to do
To keep the sky so blue
There must be someone who will buy.
