Voted Most Likely to Make You Cry... :)

Aaaand winning the Two's Company's Choice Award for Most Likely To Make You Cry When Leaving Long-Distance Friends is....Wicked's "For Good".

Listen, cry, love. 

(Rinse and Repeat)

Sarah and I love to sing this song with pathos while Leah plays it on the piano...it's so beautiful and heart-rending. I've displayed the lyrics below, and at the bottom you will find the most precious video: Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth (who became best friends through the show) singing "For Good" in Kristen's final appearances on the stage. If it doesn't make you tear up, you're heartless. The film quality is wretched but whenever Kristen's voice warbles and falters, it is because she is legitimately crying. Not only is this the most feelsie song in the whole show, it's the most feelsie version of this song in history. Enjoy! <3

Elphaba:

"I'm limited. Just look at me.

I'm limited.

And just look at you:

you could 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 learn

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 the 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

And you'll be with me

Like a handprint on my heart.

And now whatever ways our stories end,

I know you have rewritten mine

By being my friend....

Like a ship blown from its moorings

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.

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 spare

(Both): And none of it seems to matter anymore

(choruses sung simultaneously)

(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.
