Edges - I Once Knew Lyrics |
Music and Lyrics by Justin Paul and Benj Pasek Edges: A Song Cycle Musical - I Once Knew Lyrics
I once knew a woman who tried to keep going Who made more of life than what she had been dealt A woman who raised a city of children Who never got back or got asked how she felt I once knew a woman who had a laugh just like thunder And hands that can wipe away anyone’s tears A women’s whose life wasn’t measured by time Who stayed the same age despite passing years
So look bright, so look strong Act the unbeatable part you once played So hold tight, so hold on Hold fast to the delicate future you made Cause as I’m getting older I’m finding the holes I never wanted to see So hold on, hold fast, hold tighter for me
I once knew a woman who would take me to breakfast Who taught me that I could mix ketchup with eggs I once knew a woman who saw all my moments Who taught me to sing and to stand on both legs
I once knew a woman not scared to be challenged Embracing all chances although she could fail And when she fell down she would always get up I wasn’t afraid, I knew she’d prevail
So look bright, so look strong Act the unbeatable part you once played So hold tight, so hold on Hold fast to the delicate future you made Cause as I’m getting older I’m finding the holes I never wanted to see So hold on, hold fast, hold tighter for me
I don’t have to leave I can stay by your side What can I do so you’re able to see That I won’t ever try without you there to catch me So please be the woman I need you to be.
Don’t cry, and act strong Be the unbeatable part you once played So just try and hold on Everything’s fine mom, you cant be afraid So hold on, hold fast, hold tighter for me
