Stephen and I were friendly enemies. He didn't like me much. I didn't like him less. But on the other hand... I respected him a lot. Stephen and I knew each other so long that I stood danger of invading his territory. But even that was not... We came into two different worlds. But we were very old friends. He was my oldest friend in the theatre industry.

I mean, right now, Annie is surrounding us, right? There's posters on the walls and pillows, but also in this box, it's Annie stationary and letterheads. Also, there's the Annie cookie jar on the shelf and this Annie piggy bank. With her big, big song, Tomorrow, when you originally wrote it, did you think that you'd struck gold?

I didn't think. I thought that was a disposable item that we needed, necessary to keep the curtain up or down. But so many songs in musicals, go through that emotion. If a guy is a good theater composer, he learns to kind of think with two voices, so to speak. I love you, my darling.

The other is, I love you, my darling, but keep it going, this song, because we have to bring in the detective soon. I would say Tomorrow falls into that category. I needed some time. It's usually always that way when you're writing for the theater. The book writer most usually says, says he needs a song there, or you yourself, rather than here's my symphony to the stars.

And so you originally thought that that song was disposable, as you said. Now, in hindsight now, what do you think it is that makes that song so great?

I don't know. I mean, maybe I do know. Maybe I'm being modest here. I do think I'm talented. I think I write a song and I wanted to please the audience. I didn't know that it was going to be so big. And so I'm very proud if it made its mark.
