The Years Go By Lyrics by The Bengsons

Hundred Days (Original Cast Recording)

2018

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
That night
Back home
In the dark
[JO, spoken]
So how will you do it?
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
While Shaun lies sleeping next to me
[JO, spoken]
How will it possibly work?
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
I keep planning and conjuring and dreaming this idea
Until finally
I step fully inside it
[JO, spoken]
How can you squeeze your whole lives into a hundred days?
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
We'll have Halloween in the morning
Christmas in the afternoon
Birthdays at sundown
[JO, spoken]
It sounds like a game
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
It is like a game
[REGGIE, spoken]
How will you speed up time?
What about the seasons?
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
We'll make snow in the freezer for winter
We'll grow geraniums in the bathroom for spring
We'll watch the traffic outside our window
And call it the Thanksgiving Day Parade
[JO]
The years the years the years go by
The years the years the years go by
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
Time slooooooooows down
[REGGIE / JO] (add harmony)
The years the years the years go by
[REGGIE / JO / DANI / COLETTE]
The years the years the years go by
[SHAUN, spoken]
The seconds stretch into hours
[REGGIE / JO / DANI / COLETTE / ABIGAIL / SHAUN]
The years the years the years go by
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
We touch each moment as it floats by
[ALL]
The years the years go by (The years the years the years go by)
The years the years go by (The years the years the years go by)
[JO, spoken]
The red door opens
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
We see our whole lives stretched out in front of us
An open road, all the way to the ocean
[REGGIE]
The years the years
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
And he says
Let's begin
[JO, spoken]
Day one
[REGGIE] [JO, spoken]
The years keep on turning away from our faces, the / Day two
Light passes over us, oh how the days, how the / Day three
Days keep on turning, turning away from our faces, the / Day four
Light passes, oh how the days, how the
Days keep turning
[ABIGAIL, spoken] [REGGIE, spoken]
The snow is falling / Day five
The petals are falling / Day six
The seasons are spinning so quickly
That we can walk right through them / Day ten
It's working
[ALL] [REGGIE, spoken]
The years the years the years go by / Day nineteen
The years the years the years go by / Day thirty
The years the years the years go by / Day thirty-eight
The years the years go by (The years the years the years go by)
The years the years go by (The years the years the years go by)
[REGGIE] (continuous; ABIGAIL / SHAUN speak over him)
The years the years
The years keep on turning away from our faces
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
And as we walk the road grows longer
[REGGIE]
The light passes over us
Oh how the days
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
And as we walk the days become one long day
[REGGIE]
How the days keep on turning
Turning away from our faces
The light passes
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
And as we walk the seconds become one long second
[REGGIE] [COLETTE / DANI] [JO] (simultaneous when couplets)
Oh how the days, how the
I love you more
Days keep on turning
The years the years go by
Away from our faces, the
I love you more
Light passes over us
The years the years go by
Oh how the days, how
I love you more
The days keep on turning
Turning
The years the years go by
Away from our faces, the
I love you more
Light passes
The years the years go by
Oh how the days
[REGGIE / JO]
I love you more
I love you more
I love you more
I love you more
