We met, of all places, in front of Gristides, some freakishly cold winter's day I had on several unflattering layers of wool He slipped on the ice with his grocery bags full So I rescued some Fruit Loops he dropped by the curb And he made some remark that my smile was superb I thought that was sweet and I started to go and he said "Hey, whatcha doing tomorrow?' 'Because I'll be here At the corner of Bleaker and Mercer tomorrow at 7 If you want to meet up, I'll be waiting right here, And in case there are two fellas waiting for you, my name's John." He waved and then he was gone Needless to say I went back there to meet him Mostly to see if he'd show, and there he was Out in the cold with his jacket pulled tight He took me to dinner and kissed me goodnight The next week we went to this terrible play And the week after that drank hot chocolate all day And suddenly, eight or nine months had flown by when he said "Hey, whatcha doing the rest of your life?' 'Because I'll be here Right beside you as long as you want me to be There's no question There is nothing I've wanted so much in my life This might sound immature but I'm totally sure you're the one." And we had just begun We got hitched in September, our favorite month With a rock band that played in this old synagogue And we bought an apartment on West 17th street and talked about children and getting a dog Our first anniversary came in a flash And we promised to take the day off He had to stop into his office that morning And so I went walking uptown to this bakery I know When I heard on the street what I thought was a joke Till I noticed the sirens and saw all the smoke So I'm running back home with this feeling of dread To the voicemail he left with the last words he said I'm sorry, I don't mean to ruin your evening by bringing up all of this stuff You're probably wondering why I even called you tonight Well today something happened that spooked me alright I saw this storm cloud of papers fall down from the sky And I thought of that day and I started to cry When as sure as I breath I heard John clear as day saying "Hey, you're allowed to move on. It's okay.' 'Because I'll be here Even if you decide to get rid of my favorite sweater Even if you go out on my birthday this year instead of staying at home letting all of life's moments pass by You don't have to cry.' 'Because I'll be here When you start going back to the places we went to together When you take off my ring and you let yourself smile When you meet some handsome and patient and true When he says that he wants to be married to you When you call him one night and he meets you downtown When you finally answer him yes." Yes Jason, I will marry you I will give you my heart It has taken so long, but I'm ready to start Right now John's whispering 'Congrats' in my ear cause I finally let myself tell you That I will be here
This is one of my favourite songs and Ordinary Days is my absolutely favourite musical! So far there have only been somewhat off versions of this song uploaded - and now you recorded the accompaniments to the ENTIRE MUSICAL??? Thank you so much!!! I know what I'm doing for the rest of the night, singing along!

Very well done. I do wish, however, that at 1:19 you didn’t back off the C-sharp in voicing your right hand. It’s one of my favorite moments in the song, where a simple 3 note chord delivers a sudden sense of foreboding so early on, a subtle hint of the emotional wallop that will hit the listener towards the end. I understand you were trying to take care in voicing it, since, without the vocals, to the uninitiated it would sound like a mistake. (This is a big reason I consider this genius songwriting: the voice supports the piano as much as the piano supports the voice.) That being said, kudos to you for providing a valuable resource for others wishing to learn the song.
We met, of all places, in front of Gristides, some freakishly cold winter's day
I had on several unflattering layers of wool
He slipped on the ice with his grocery bags full
So I rescued some Fruit Loops he dropped by the curb
And he made some remark that my smile was superb
I thought that was sweet and I started to go and he said
"Hey, whatcha doing tomorrow?'
'Because I'll be here
At the corner of Bleaker and Mercer tomorrow at 7
If you want to meet up, I'll be waiting right here,
And in case there are two fellas waiting for you, my name's John."
He waved and then he was gone
Needless to say I went back there to meet him
Mostly to see if he'd show, and there he was
Out in the cold with his jacket pulled tight
He took me to dinner and kissed me goodnight
The next week we went to this terrible play
And the week after that drank hot chocolate all day
And suddenly, eight or nine months had flown by when he said
"Hey, whatcha doing the rest of your life?'
'Because I'll be here
Right beside you as long as you want me to be
There's no question
There is nothing I've wanted so much in my life
This might sound immature but I'm totally sure you're the one."
And we had just begun
We got hitched in September, our favorite month
With a rock band that played in this old synagogue
And we bought an apartment on West 17th street and talked about children and getting a dog
Our first anniversary came in a flash
And we promised to take the day off
He had to stop into his office that morning
And so I went walking uptown to this bakery I know
When I heard on the street what I thought was a joke
Till I noticed the sirens and saw all the smoke
So I'm running back home with this feeling of dread
To the voicemail he left with the last words he said
I'm sorry, I don't mean to ruin your evening by bringing up all of this stuff
You're probably wondering why I even called you tonight
Well today something happened that spooked me alright
I saw this storm cloud of papers fall down from the sky
And I thought of that day and I started to cry
When as sure as I breath I heard John clear as day saying
"Hey, you're allowed to move on. It's okay.'
'Because I'll be here
Even if you decide to get rid of my favorite sweater
Even if you go out on my birthday this year instead of staying at home letting all of life's moments pass by
You don't have to cry.'
'Because I'll be here
When you start going back to the places we went to together
When you take off my ring and you let yourself smile
When you meet some handsome and patient and true
When he says that he wants to be married to you
When you call him one night and he meets you downtown
When you finally answer him yes."
Yes
Jason, I will marry you
I will give you my heart
It has taken so long, but I'm ready to start
Right now John's whispering 'Congrats' in my ear cause I finally let myself tell you
That I will be here

hi!! what sheet music do you use?
It's an official and rental music. So you can't buy it.
what key is this in?
In F at the first and there is many modulations
Great playing, but the first half is way too fast for all the words the singer has to spit out!
Some people said the same thing and I would play this again in … good tempo.
