The lyricist Carole Bayer Sager is trying to become philosophical, with limited success. “We have a time when we’re in our prime, and I feel I’ve had that time,” she says. In her hit-filled heyday, when “things were going and flowing and people were asking for this or that movie song, I could pretty much write something for an artist and let them know, and they were thrilled to listen and see if it worked,” says Ms. Bayer Sager, 72.
