I would feel bad taking up two posts here since I'm such a lurker, so I won't do Sondheim songs in a different post. I'm going to limit myself to 10 Sondheim, 3 JRB, 2 Guettel, and 5 Miscellaneous. I reserve the right to use the Miscellaneous section for any Sondheim, JRB, or Guettel songs if I choose. I also reserve the right to edit.

Sondheim:
1. Finishing the Hat
2. Sunday (well, the end. Does that count? Maybe?)
3. Beautiful
4. Color and Light
5. Children and Art
6. We Do Not Belong Together (Thus marks the end of SITPWG)
7. Too Many Mornings
8. No One is Alone
9. Someone in a Tree
10. Please, Hello (Okay, one funny one. There we go.)

JRB:
1. Goodbye Until Tomorrow/ I Could Never Rescue You
2. The Next Ten Minutes
3. That's What He Said (So brilliantly disturbing)

Guettel:
1. Love to Me
2. Fable

Miscellaneous:
1. Where Do I Go?
2. Unusual Way (need to listen to it more, though. Anyways, something from Nine.)
3. Look Over There
4. Johanna (Trio) (Sweeney Todd (Aah! I can't believe I didn't put Sweeney Todd in the Sondheim section. How could I forget?))
5. Somewhere (West Side Story)

I with I could have included Maria, Something's Coming, something from ALNM, Children Will Listen (extended version,) No More (I should actually edit and put that in when I have more time,) No One is Alone, With So Little to be Sure of, Simple, Anyone Can Whistle, A Little Priest, Ah, Miss, Nine People's Favorite Thing, A Way Back to Then, Die, Vampire, Die, Light, A Light in the Dark, I've Been, I Miss the Mountains, You Don't Know/I Am the One, I'm Alive, The Beauty Is, Dividing Day, Sailing, And They're Off, The Music Plays On, Just Go, Second, The I Love You Song, etc.

But I can't.
