Tuck Everlasting (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2016

[COMPANY]
De na na de na na, de na...
De na na de na na, de na...
Ahhh, ahhh...
Ahhh, ahhh...
Ahhh, ahhh...
Ahhh, ahhh...
[WINNIE]
Today is the day
I've been waiting forever
It's the first day of August, 1893
Tonight there's a fair
And if handled just so
I might get my mother to say I can go
[MOTHER, spoken]
Winnie!
[WINNIE, spoken]
Coming, Mother!
Getting out of the house
Happens, well, never
There's a gate and a lock and rules to abide
I wish I had wings
I'd look good with a pair
But if wings are too much at least give me the fair
Let this be the day
I stay out all evening
And fall right into step as a band starts to play
Not another boring day
In Treegap, New Hampshire
I can't live like this
I can't live like this forever
[COMPANY]
De na na de na na, de na
De na, de na na
De na na de na na, de na
De na, de na na
[MAE]
Today is the day
The waiting is over
Tonight we will all be a family again
My boys will be home
By the end of the day
I can't wait, I should wait--
No, I'll meet them halfway
Let this be the day
I'm free of this cabin
Where the only thing that moves
Is the clock on the wall
Better off to start the haul
To Treegap, New Hampshire
I can't live like this
I can't live like this forever
[COMPANY]
De na na de na na, de na
De na, de na na
[MILES]
Off the train in New Hampshire
Then it's back in an instant
The feeling that I'm somewhere I don't belong
[JESSE]
Hello, Treegap, New Hampshire
Catch me up on what's new
Your silo I see still has the best view
I swear
[MILES]
I swear
[JESSE]
Is there anyone who still knows me?
[MILES]
Almost there
[JESSE]
Almost there
[MILES]
This town never outgrows me
[JESSE]
Unaware
[MILES]
Unaware
[JESSE]
I'll never know why
[MILES]
Never know why
[BOTH]
This world chose me to
[JESSE]
Live like this
[MILES]
Live like this
[JESSE]
Live like this
[MILES]
Live like this
[BOTH]
Live like this forever
[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
Today a new town
And a new one tomorrow
My whole life employed to a traveling fair
You may wonder why
This old barker barks on
It's the trail no one knows I have stumbled upon
Let this be the day
[COMPANY]
De na na, de na na
[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
That I learn the secret
[COMPANY]
De na na, de na na de
[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
And find what holds the key
[COMPANY]
De na na, de na na
[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
To what I'm looking for
[COMPANY]
De na na, de na na de
[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
I will knock on every door
In Treegap, New Hampshire to
[MAE]
Live like this
[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
Live like this
[MAE]
Live like this
[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
I could live like this
[ALL]
Forever
[WINNIE]
Let this be the day
Where something will happen
[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
Something will happen
[WINNIE]
Let me see the fair
[MAE]
Let me see my boys
[WINNIE]
Let my mother agree
[ALL]
I feel it coming over me
In Treegap, New Hampshire
I could live like this (Live like this)
I could live like this (Live like this)
Forever (De na na, de na na, de na, de na, de na na)
Forever (De na na, de na na, de na, de na, de na na)
I could live like this forever (De na na, de na na, de na)
Live like this
Forever
