さようなら « SAYONARA » …I’ve never been good at good-byes…
Enjoy “For Good” (I typed “food good” at first…) from WICKED the musical.
(…And prepare to be enchanted. Tissues out, everyone.)
——————————————————————————————————-
ELPHABA: I’M LIMITED… JUST LOOK AT ME. I’M LIMITED…
AND JUST LOOK AT YOU – YOU CAN DO ALL I COULDN’T DO, GLINDA…
SO NOW IT’S UP TO YOU… For both of us. NOW IT’S UP TO YOU…
GLINDA: I’VE HEARD IT SAID THAT 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…
ELPHABA: 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 SKYBIRD IN A DISTANT WOOD
WHO CAN SAY IF I’VE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?
BUT BECAUSE I KNEW YOU…
GLINDA: BECAUSE I KNEW YOU…
BOTH: I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR GOOD…
ELPHABA: AND JUST TO CLEAR THE AIR I ASK FORGIVENESS
FOR THE THINGS I’VE DONE YOU BLAME ME FOR
GLINDA: BUT THEN, I GUESS WE KNOW THERE’S BLAME TO SHARE
BOTH: AND NONE OF IT SEEMS TO MATTER ANYMORE
GLINDA (ELPHABA)
LIKE A COMET PULLED FROM ORBIT (LIKE A SHIP BLOWN OFF ITS MOORING)
AS IT PASSES THE SUN (FROM A WIND OFF THE SEA)
LIKE A STREAM THAT MEETS A BOULDER (LIKE A SEED DROPPED)
HALF-WAY THROUGH THE WOOD (BY A BIRD IN THE WOOD)
BOTH: WHO CAN SAY IF I’VE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?
I DO BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER
GLINDA: AND BECAUSE I KNEW YOU…
ELPHABA: BECAUSE I KNEW YOU…
BOTH: BECAUSE I KNEW YOU… I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR GOOD
Take care … お元気でね。
