They Were You Lyrics by Santino Fontana, Sara Jean Ford

The Fantasticks (The New Off-Broadway Recording)

2006

[LUISA, spoken]
I'm sorry, Matt
[MATT, spoken]
No, it's alright, I deserve it
I've been foolish
[LUISA, spoken]
I have too
Believe me
More than you
[MATT]
When the moon was young
When the month was May
When the stage was hung for my holiday
I saw shining lights
But I never knew
They were you
They were you
They were you
[LUISA]
When the dance was done
When I went my way
When I tried to find rainbows far away
All the lovely lights
Seemed to fade from view
They were you
They were you
They were you
[LUISA & MATT]
Without you near me
I can't see
When you're near me
Wonderful things come to be
[MATT]
Every secret prayer
[LUISA]
Every fancy free
[MATT]
Everything I dared for both
[LUISA & MATT]
You and me
All my wildest dreams
Multiplied by two
[MATT]
They were you
[LUISA]
They were you
[LUISA & MATT]
They were you
[LUISA]
They were you
[MATT]
They were you
[LUISA & MATT]
They were you
[LUISA, spoken]
I missed you, Matt
[MATT, spoken]
I missed you, too
[LUISA, spoken]
Oh, you've been hurt!
[MATT, spoken]
Yes
[LUISA, spoken]
But you should have told me!
You should have told me right away!
Here, sit down
Maybe I can bind it
[MATT, spoken]
You've been hurt, too
[LUISA, spoken]
Yes
[MATT, spoken]
Look, it's beginning to snow
[LUISA, spoken]
I know
[MATT, spoken]
Here, take my coat
[LUISA, spoken]
No, both
There's room enough for both
