Diana:
Why stay?
Why stay?
So steadfast, and stolid,
And stoic, and solid
For day after every day...
Why stay?
Why stay?
Why not simply give in,
And get on with livin',
'Cause everyone knows you tried—
But somehow something died
On the way.
So tell me why you stay.
Diana & Natalie:
Why stay?
Why stay?
Enduring, and coping,
And hurting, and hoping
For day after fucking day—
Why stay?
Why stay?
Why not simply end it?
We'd all comprehend it,
And most of the world would say,
He's better off that way,
To be free—
And maybe so is she."
Dan:
A promise,
A boy says forever...
A boy says,
Dan & Henry:
"Whatever may come,
We'll come through.
And who can know how,
When all I know now
To be true
Is this promise
That I make to you."
Dan:
A question,
A boy wonders whether Henry:
The two stay together A boy wonders
The way that they stay, Should I stay?
For year after year, Oh...
For love of from fear— Oh, oh oh...
Either way, Either way...
That's the promise
That I made that day.
Henry:
Here's what I say:
Henry & Dan:
To the girl who was burning
So brightly,
Like the light from Orion above.
Dan:
And still I will search for her
Nightly—
If you see her,
Please send her my love.
And the boy was a boy Henry:
For all seasons— The boy is
That boy is long-lost Long-lost...
To me now.
And the man has So lost...
Forgotten his reasons, Forgotten his reasons...
But the man still
Remembers his vow. Now...
A promise,
A man says forever.
A man says I'll never regret
Or let you.
The promise that I made
To stay, and I stayed true...
Knowing one day we'd
Remember that joy.
You'd remember that girl,
I'd remember that boy—
'Til we do,
The promise I made
I'll make it brand-new—
The promise that I made to you.
