Intro

Verse 1

Glinda):

[F6/9]

I've heard it said

[F6/9]

That people come into our lives for a reason

Bringing something we must learn.

[F6/9]

And we are led

To those who help us most to grow,

If we let them,

And we help them in return.

Well I don't know if I beleive that's true,

But I know I'm who I am today

Because I knew you...

Chorus

Like a comet pulled from orbit

As it passes a sun,

Like a stream that meets a boulder

Halfway through the wood,

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

But because I knew you,

I have been changed for good.

Verse 2

Elphaba):

It well may be

That we will never meet again

[F6/9]

In this lifetime

So let me say before we part:

[F6/9]

So much of me

Is made of what I learned from you,

You'll be with me

Like a handprint on my heart.

And now whatever way our stories end,

I know you have re-written mine

By being my friend...

Chorus

Like a ship blown from its mooring

By a wind off the sea,

Like a seed dropped by a sky bird

In a distant wood,

Who can say

If I've been changed for the better?

But

Because I knew you...

[Glinda]

Because I knew you...

[Both]

I have been changed for good.
