...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 hand-print on my heart
and now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
by being my friend...
More than a year ago, I posted other parts of the lyrics of the For Good song from Wicked. And I have to admit that I cannot remember a) how I came across the song nor b) who I had in mind when writing it.
I used the theatre voucher I got for one of my work projects to finally go and see Wicked at the Apollo theatre in London (previously an Art deco cinema) yesterday. I did like a number of their songs, absolutely loved their costumes and overall enjoyed the show. But I have to say it didn't quite stand up to all the positive comments I had heard. Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind either.
And yes, as you may imagine, a number of the songs made me cry. Standard really. And the above lyrics seem especially poignant, of course.
