Have you read Sondheim's collected lyrics with his commentary? http://www.amazon.com/Hat-Box-Collected-Stephen-Sondheim/dp/0307957721/
His analysis of his own lyrics is fascinating, particularly where he's critical of them. (Also, seeing the things which were cut or changed allows a deeper understanding of how shows get constructed.)
