Jesse:
The time has come
I’m flying away
Mouth is numb
Heart don’t know what to say
And although I’ll be out of sight, dear
Know I'll be right here
Right here forever, ever, ever, ever
When you look to the night skies
Don’t think of goodbyes
Think how I’m right here ever, ever, ever
Amanda with Hit List cast:
Come
Jesse with Hit List cast:
No, you can't come with me
Stay
Amanda:
I wish I could
Amanda & Jesse with Hit List cast:
Goodbye aye-aye-aye
Jesse:
I know it’s hard to say
All:
Come
Amanda:
No, you can't come with me
All:
Stay
Jesse with Hit List cast:
I wish I could
Jesse & Amanda with Hit List cast:
Goodbye aye-aye-aye
Jesse:
I know it’s hard to say
All:
Ouch
Jesse:
I know it hurts to say
Amanda:
I'd stay if I could
But the universe won't let me
So please be good
And don’t you forget me
Diva with Hit List cast:
And although I’ll be out of sight, dear
Know I'll be right here
Right here forever, ever, ever, ever
Jesse & Diva with Hit List cast:
When you look to the night skies
Don’t think of goodbyes
Diva with Hit List cast:
Think how I’m right here ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
All:
