Song by Jonathan Groff & Company<br /><br>

MELCHIOR<br>

You fold his hands, and smooth his tie<br>

You gently lift his chin – <br>

Were you really so blind, and unkind to him?<br>

<br>

Can’t help the itch to touch, to kiss<br>

To hold him once again<br>

Now to close his eyes, never open them<br>

<br>

ALL<br>

A shadow passed, a shadow passed<br>

Yearning, yearning for the fool it called a home<br>

<br>

MELCHIOR<br>

All things he never did are left behind<br>

All the things his Mama wished he’d bear in mind<br>

And all his Dad ever hoped he know<br>

<br>

ALL<br>

O-o-o-o-o-o-<br>

<br>

MELCHIOR<br>

All the talks you never had<br>

The Saturdays you never spent<br>

All the grown-up places you never went<br>

<br>

And all of the crying you wouldn’t understand<br>

You just let him cry – “Make a man out of him.”<br>

<br>

ALL<br>

A shadow passed, a shadow passed<br>

Yearning, yearning for the fool it called a home<br>

<br>

MELCHIOR<br>

All things he ever wished are left behind<br>

All the things his Mama did to make him mind<br>

And how his Dad had hoped he’d grow<br>

<br>

All things he ever lived are left behind<br>

All the fears that ever flickered through his mind<br>

All the sadness he’d come to own<br>

<br>

ALL<br>

O-o-o-o-o-o<br>

O-o-o-o-o-o<br>

O-o-o-o-o-o<br>

<br>

A shows passed, a shadow passed<br>

Yearning, yearning for the fool it called a home<br>

<br>

MELCHIOR<br>

And, it whistles through the ghosts still left behind<br>

It whistles through the ghosts still left behind<br>

It whistles through the ghosts still left behind<br>

O-o-<br>

<br>
