LOVE LOVE LOVE that these Edges videos are back up!!!
There's a fortress on an island
That's an hour south of Athens.
In a little Grecian town I can't pronounce -
So I won't try.
And it looks like there's a castle that's
Just floating on the water.
And all around, the moss green mountains
Poke and pierce the sky.
The seagulls fly in circles
Over cafes on the shoreline.
And two or three stray dogs are sleeping
Underneath the trees.
The sun hides under clouds that coat
The light in fainted purples.
The current whipps the colored ships
That see-saw in the breeze.
This is the closest I've come to being
A part of a painting.
Like I fell in a well of pastel
An artist dipped in while he drew.
And I know, if I remember every detail,
I can bring it home and paint it all for you.
A girl waits at the harbor
For a boy who went out fishing.
He promised he'd return
Before the final breath of day.
As darkness comes without him
And she leaves the dock behind her.
His boat appears, he dries her tears
And carries her away.
This is the closest I've come to being
Part of a painting.
And although it was slow, now I know
The kind of man I want to be.
And I'm sure if I remember every detail,
I can recreate this rendering of me.
Sketches are never done.
Portraits are never complete.
Sometimes it takes time before
You're back on your feet.
But, now I know beauty.
I understand peace.
I found what I needed on the coast of Greece.
I wanted some distance to chart the unknown.
I needed to find my way on my own.
But now,
Finally I'm ready to let you be a part of my painting
And I swear I'll be there and I'll share
The things I've come to know as true.
Nothing else matters unless you'll be apart of my painting,
For the heart of my painting is you.
There's a man who writes a letter
To a lady back in Pittsburgh.
He says he's coming home
And that his trip is finally through.
And though he's scared
He signs it with "I love you, now and always."
He won't delay -
He'll start today
And paint it all for you.
My favorite Pasek and Paul song!!!
I just got back from seeing him in Wicked...HE IS AMAZING! He has an awe-inspiring voice and PERFECT comedic timing, genuinely an amazing performer!!!
He was in I Love You Because... and he was amazing!
A brilliantly written/sung song.
Thank you for this. For the writing. For a beautiful performance.
"For now I know beauty. I understand peace."
Beautiful.
"I love you. Now ... and always."
Who is the pianist?
@roseswindler He played Fiyero. Not in the original cast or anything, just the current touring cast. But he was really fantastic!
