for good

wierd week. busy as always... then yesterday whilst i was shifting stuff around, a 1TB hard rive fell on my foot and slice a huge gash right across the top of it. soaked through half a towel before i could hobble across the road to get stitches and get 10 days off. then managed to download the musical wicked. someone got a video camera into the theatre and managed to get it on tape. was crying like mad watching... and when i heard this song, i just thought of you... and i miss u like crazy baby.

ELPHABA You're the only friend I've ever had.
GLINDA And I've had so many friends. But only one-- that mattered.

(sings)
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 BECAUSE I KNEW YOU, 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
