[Verse 1 - Male] I’ve been counting all the mornings Since he promised you to me Watching shadows cross the window Waiting for your eyes to see There’s a garden past the hillside Where the wildflowers grow And a river through the valley There’s so much you ought to know I have practiced saying hello Though I don’t know what you’ll say I’ve been saving up the sunlight For the day you come my way [Verse 2 - Female] Will you tell me how the rain feels? Does it hurt against your skin? Will the birds know that I’m different? Will they let me listen in? Is the ocean really endless? Does the moon look like they say? If I stumble when I’m walking Will you laugh or look away? [Male] I might laugh a little with you Then I’ll help you find your feet [Female] And if everybody stares? [Male] Then they can stare at me [Chorus - Duet] There are so many things I’ll show you So many places we could go How the world looks after rainfall How the fields turn white with snow We could walk until the morning We could dance beneath the moon There’s a whole world waiting for us [Female] And I’ll see it all with you [Duet] Oh, the things I’ll show you All the things we’ll do [Verse 3 - Female] Will you teach me all your favorite songs? Will you show me where you’ve been? Will you tell me all your stories? Can we make some of our own? [Male] There’s a little house I know of Where the chimney’s falling down We could fix it in the summer Put a garden in the ground [Female] I could paint the kitchen yellow [Male] I could build a wooden swing [Female] Would you dance with me in winter? [Male] I’d dance with you in spring [Female] What if I don’t like the sunshine? [Male] Then we’ll stay out in the rain [Female] What if I don’t like your face? [Male] I hope you’ll look again [Chorus - Duet] There are so many things I’ll show you So many places we could go How the world looks after rainfall How the fields turn white with snow We could walk until the morning We could dance beneath the moon There’s a whole world waiting for us [Female] And I’ll see it all with you [Duet] Oh, the things I’ll show you All the things we’ll do [Bridge - Male] There’s a light behind the window There’s a shadow moving there I can see him at the table I can see your waiting chair He has stopped beside your body Something shining in his hand [Female] Will you come and take me walking? [Male] I don’t think I understand [Female] Will you show me where the— [Male] Wait [Instrumental Break] [Male] No No, don’t do that Please [Verse 4 - Male] There’s a garden past the hillside Where the wildflowers grow There’s a river through the valley You were supposed to see it flow I had practiced saying hello I had found a place to stay I had saved you all the sunlight He has thrown it all away [Final Chorus - Male Alone] There were so many things I’d show you So many places we could go How the world looks after rainfall How the fields turn white with snow We could walk until the morning We could dance beneath the moon There’s a whole world waiting for us [Instrumental Gap] Oh, the things I’d show you [Instrumental Gap] All the things we’d do [Outro - Male] I don’t know how the rain feels Not the way you would have known I don’t know if birds would fear you Or if flowers would have grown I don’t know if you would love me I don’t know if you’d have stayed I just wanted you to have The chance to choose someday [Instrumental] I had so much to show you.
