Steal Me, Sweet Thief Lyrics – Gian Carlo Menotti
Singer: Gian Carlo Menotti
Title: Steal Me, Sweet Thief
(Recitative)
What a curse for a woman is a timid man!
A week has gone by
He’s had plenty of chances
But he made no advances
Miss Todd schemes and labors to get him some money
She robs friends and neigbhours, the club and the church
He takes all the money
With a smile that entrances
But still makes no advances
The old woman sighs and makes languid eyes
All the doors are wide open
All the drawers are unlocked!
He nеither seems pleased or shockеd
He eats and drinks and sleeps
He talks of baseball and boxing
But that is all!
What a curse for a woman is a timid man!
(Song Proper)
Steal me, oh steal me, sweet thief
For time’s flight is stealing my youth
And the cares of life steal fleeting time
Steal me, thief, for life is brief and full of theft and strife
And then, with furtive step
Death comes and steals time and life
O sweet thief, I pray make me glow
Before dark death steals her prey
Steal my lips, before they crumble to dust
Steal my heart, before death must
Steal my cheeks, before they’re sunk and decayed
Steal my breath, before it will fade
Steal my lips, steal my heart, steal my cheeks
Steal, oh steal my breath
And make me die before death will steal her prey
Oh steal me!
For time’s flight is stealing my youth
