“My First Serious Relationship...” lyrics

[STEPHEN SONDHEIM, spoken]
My first serious relationship occurred when I was sixty years old
And I fell in love
And I think it didn't happen 'til then because I wasn't open for it
I wasn't ready for it
I was brought up as an only child
I enjoyed being an only child
I enjoyed being alone
I still enjoy often being alone
But I think I'd gotten in the habit of it
And when I met somebody, the habit got broken
