Found this while cleaning my room, it's from when portal first came out.. I never got around to finishing it, just thought I'd share? It's not much, but anyone who wants to finish it I guess you got a basis, I just thought it'd be a waste to throw it out.

Awesome - it probably wouldn't be hard to make a lead sheet out of that (I think it's a fairly simple progression in Dmaj, with the occasional bVI here & there).
 
btw forgive the random added key signatures starting at line 3, this is really messy, I went about it by playing it out by ear and didn't even think about key signatures.. even though it's the wrong key signature added lol.

EDIT: Replaying it I realized there's a mistake at 'but there's no sense crying', that's not a d, it should be a c. And 'you just keep on trying' you should take away that last d.
 
Don't worry about the key (whenever I write out jazz lead sheets, I tend to do it the old-fashioned way of writing the key on the first line only, then I'm too lazy to write it on every line afterward).
I'll take a look at your lead sheet; I've actually been thinking of transcribing this song for awhile now (we always joked about playing this in our combo in college (the mambo version)).
 
I worked out a piano solo version of it, but I never went all the way through writing it out.
