Before I Go Lyrics by Victoria Clark

Kimberly Akimbo (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2023

[KIMBERLY]
I was never the daughter you wanted
That's the thing we never say
But that’s the truth and that's okay
We live in a house that's haunted
There’s always you, there's always me
And there's the ghost of a girl I'll never be
There's the ghost of a girl I'll never be
Before I go
Let go of the ghost
Just let her disappear
And then maybe you'll see me
While I'm still here
I’m still here
I was never the girl you intended
She was young and she was bold
She’d hold your hand when you got old
Let's admit, the dream has ended
And what you wished for wasn’t me
It was the ghost of a girl I'll never be
She's the ghost of a girl I'll never be
Before I go
Let’s give up the ghost
Just be with me instead
I know I might be dying
But I'm not dead
I'm not dead
So before I go
Take my hand
Before I fly away
Say goodbye
I will go somewhere that's beautiful
I'll go somewhere that's beautiful
It's time to let me go
[PATTIE]
Father Time
[KIMBERLY]
Let me go
[PATTIE]
Slow down the day
[KIMBERLY]
Let me fly away
[PATTIE & (BUDDY)]
Don't let the dark come and (You have your whole life)
Steal it away
[KIMBERLY]
It's time
[PATTIE & (BUDDY)]
For goodness' sake (Your whole life)
You're still awake
[BUDDY]
See the world
See the world
See the world
[PATTIE]
And baby wants to play
And baby wants to play
[KIMBERLY]
Oh...
Dear Make a Wish Foundation of New Jersey
As you probably know by now
My name is Kimberly Levaco
Thank you for the treehouse
But I don't need a treehouse
I'm gonna bungee jump
I'm gonna jet ski
I'm gonna hang glide and clog dance
And swim at the bottom of a waterfall
In New Zealand
I'll see the world
See the world
See the world
Smiley face
