Spring Awakening feat. Jonathan Groff Lyrics
"Left Behind"

Melchior:
You fold his hands, and smooth his tie.
You gently lift his chin—
Were you really so blind, and unkind to him?

Can't help the itch to touch, to kiss,
To hold him once again.
Now to close his eyes, never open them...

All:
A show passed. A shadow passed,
Yearning, yearning for the fool it called a home.

Melchior:
All things her never did are left behind;
All the things his Mama wished he'd bear in mind;
And all his Dad ever hoped he'd know.
O-o-o-o-o-o

The talks you ever had,
The Saturdays you never spent,
All the "grown-up" places you never went.

And all of the crying you wouldn't understand—
You just let him cry—"Make a man out of him."

All:
A show passed. A shadow passed,
Yearning, yearning for the fool it called a home.

Melchior:
All things he ever wished are left behind;
All the things his Mama did to make him mind;
And how his Dad had hoped he'd grow.

All things he ever lived are left behind;
All the fears that ever flickered through his mind;
All the sadness that he'd come to own.
O-o-o-o-o-o

All:
O-o-o-o-o-o
O-o-o-o-o-o

A show passed. A shadow passed,
Yearning, yearning for the fool it called a home.

Melchior:
And it whistles through the ghosts still left behind...
It whistles through the ghosts still left behind...
It whistles through the ghosts still left behind...
O-o
