Not as Dark as it Seems -Lyrics and Music: Ira Levin & Julia Levin

Were we all aware that every dish was made with care?
A symphonic rendezvous, and when the time is through
you’re doing dishes after midnight.
It’s not an unfamiliar sight.
And your cup of coffee
says: “Do they ever think of me?”
It’s not as dark as it seems
Just put in some cream,
and add some sweet memories
It’s not as dark as it seems.
Keeping busy all the time
To scale this mountain that you climb;
You’ve got a yearning and a longing there that’s burning.
Burning late into the night, it’s not an unfamiliar sight.
And your coffee cup
says: “I’m full but fill me up.”
It’s not as dark as it seems
Just put in some cream
and add some sweet memories
It’s not as dark as it seems Yi di di di…yi di didi
The bottom’s an opportunity to see what you are made of
and your own divinity.
A cup that’s made of clay is bound to hit the ground one day,
but don’t let that bring you down.
All that’s lost is found.
We’ll meet one day at eternity’s café.
It’s not as dark as it seems
Just put in some cream
and add some sweet memories
It’s not as dark as it seems. Yi di di di…yi di didi
