“Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot.”
Alan Jay Lerner, Camelot: Vocal Selection

“On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
You'll feel a part of every mountain sea and shore
You can hear
From far and near
A word you've never, never heard before
And on a clear day
On a clear day
You can see forever
And ever
And ever
And ever more”
Alan Jay Lerner

“For a painter, the Mecca of the world, for study, for inspiration and for living is here on this star called Paris. Just look at it, no wonder so many artists have come here and called it home. Brother, if you can't paint in Paris, you'd better give up and marry the boss's daughter.”
Alan Jay Lerner
