Jonathan Groff & Company - Left Behind Lyrics

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

MELCHIOR
All things he never did are left behind
All the things his Mama wished he�d bear in mind
And all his Dad ever hoped he know

ALL
O-o-o-o-o-o-

MELCHIOR
All the talks you never 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 shadow 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
ALL
O-o-o-o-o-o
O-o-o-o-o-o
O-o-o-o-o-o

A shows 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-
