| I've always heard that Bernstein wrote the lyrics for 'One hand, one heart'. This song was written for Candide, but cut, and the re-used, memorably, in WSS. If its mostly the same lyric, then Sondheim would have had nothing to do with it, | |

| John LaTouche wrote the Candide lyric to Bernstein's original melody, which had only one note per bar: "One / hand, / one / heart..." Sondheim found this too ponderous and convinced the composer to give him some extra notes to work with: "Make of our / hand / one / hand..." I've never heard that Bernstein drafted a lyric for his original one bar, one note melody, but I suppose it's possible. |
