Song from the musical 'Tuck Everlasting' performed by Carolee Carmello (Mae), Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Jesse), Robert Lenzi (Miles).
May: Once upon a time Once upon a time Can I start like that?
Miles: Shouldn't start like that
May: Be patient with me Winnie I've never told this before Once there was a man A man with a wife And a family
Jesse: That's Miles and me
May: Jesse, let me tell the story I don't wanna start a war We tore from the west to settle in the east Looking for a farm or some land at least
Jesse: Get to the part where I fall from the tree
Miles: No, you've got it all wrong
May: Miles, Jesse Then we found a wood
Jesse: Yes, we found a wood Can you guess which wood
Winnie: Mine?
Jesse: You're good
May: Where we found ourselves a clearing And camped for the night Just the four of us
Miles: Plus the cat and the horse They play a crucial part
May: Yes, Miles of course We slept by a spring near an old ash tree
Jesse: And thats where I carved a T
May: Jesse!
Miles: In the morning In the morning
Miles, Jesse, May: We had no way of knowing Without even thinking we drank from the spring Who knew that spring would change everything
May: Except for the horse Everybody drank Even the cat
Miles: Remember that?
Jesse: You can lead a horse to water
Miles: I think she knows the phrase
May: So days went by Then months Then years With an ordinary life
Miles: So it appears
May: The old horse died at 25
Jesse: But the cat was still alive
Miles: We weren't changing Jesse: We weren't changing May: We weren't changing
Miles: We weren't growing
Jesse: We weren't growing
All three: We had no way of knowing Nobody was thinking It's because of the spring Who knew that spring would change everything
May: The town began to talk People shyed away They were so outraged we hadn't aged Our lives in pious Our looks perverse He survived much worse
Jesse: Winnie look at me Winnie listen here though
I survived a tree fall
Miles: Shut up Jesse
May: Jesse: Still we didn't know Yes of course we knew Didn't know the spring How could we not know though Was the cause of it Or where we'd sit on the delacite balance Jesse: Between a blessing and a curse The greatest family In the universe
Miles: Don't confuse the girl
All three: The cat and the horse The T on the tree The drink that changed us eternally That's our secret keep it locked up tight
Winnie: But I still don't understand
Miles: Enough Alright We're not aging We're not growing And none of us know why Once upon a time we drank from your spring And now we'll never die
Jesse: And that's the story of the Tucks The end
