FOR GOOD.....
Okay, just got back from seeing WICKED in one it's final performances here in SF this week.
More on how it was comin up soon, however there was one song which just made me want to bawl my eyes out....Didn't though, I saved that for later on.
Here it is....
FOR GOOD.
I’VE HEARD IT SAIDTHAT PEOPLE COME INTO OUR LIVES
FOR A REASON
BRINGING SOMETHING WE MUST LEARN
AND WE ARE LED TO THOSE WHO HELP US MOST TO GROW
IF WE LET THEM
AND WE HELP THEM IN RETURN
WELL, I DON’T KNOW IF I BELIEVE THAT’S TRUE
BUT I KNOW I’M WHO I AM TODAY
BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...
LIKE A COMET PULLED FROM ORBIT
AS IT PASSES A SUN
LIKE A STREAM THAT MEETS A BOULDER
HALFWAY THROUGH THE WOOD
WHO CAN SAY IF I’VE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?
BUT BECAUSE I KNEW YOU
I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR GOOD …
IT WELL MAY BE THAT WE WILL NEVER MEET AGAIN IN THIS LIFETIME
SO LET ME SAY BEFORE WE PART
SO MUCH OF ME IS MADE OF WHAT I LEARNED FROM YOU
YOU’LL BE WITH ME
LIKE A HANDPRINT ON MY HEART
AND NOW WHATEVER WAY OUR STORIES END
I KNOW YOU HAVE RE-WRITTEN MINE
BY BEING MY FRIEND...
LIKE A SHIP BLOWN FROM ITS MOORING
BY A WIND OFF THE SEA
LIKE A SEED DROPPED BY A SKY BIRD
IN A DISTANT WOOD
WHO CAN SAY IF I’VE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?
BUT BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...
BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...
BECAUSE I KNEW YOU
I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR GOOD...
AND JUST TO CLEAR THE AIR
I ASK FORGIVENESS
FOR THE THINGS I’VE DONE YOU BLAME ME FOR
BUT THEN, I GUESS WE KNOW
THERE’S BLAME TO SHARE
AND NONE OF IT SEEMS TO MATTER ANYMORE
LIKE A COMET PULLED FROM ORBIT/AS IT PASSES A SUN/LIKE A STREAM THAT MEETS A BOULDER/ HALF-WAYTHROUGH THE WOOD
LIKE A SHIP BLOWN OFF ITS MOORING/BY A WIND OFF THESEA/ LIKE A SEED DROPPED BY A BIRD INTHE WOOD
WHO CAN SAY IF I’VE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?
I DO BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER
AND BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...
BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...
BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...
I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR GOOD.
****I know who I am thinking of when this is playing, and hopefully so does he.....****
