FROM "DEAR EVAN HANSEN"
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BEN PLATT!

END OF MAY OR EARLY JUNE

THIS PICTURE PERFECT
AFTERNOON WE SHARED

DRIVE THE WINDING COUNTRY ROAD
GRAB A SCOOP AT A LA MODE

AND THEN WE'RE THERE

AN OPEN FIELD
THAT'S FRAMED WITH TREES

WE PICK A SPOT
AND SHOOT THE BREEZE

LIKE BUDDIES DO

QUOTING SONGS
BY OUR FAVORITE BANDS

TELLING JOKES
NO ONE UNDERSTANDS

EXCEPT US TWO
AND WE TALK AND TAKE IN THE VIEW

ALL WE SEE IS SKY
FOR FOREVER

WE LET THE WORLD
PASS BY FOR FOREVER

FEELS LIKE WE COULD GO ON
FOR FOREVER THIS WAY

TWO FRIENDS
ON A PERFECT DAY

WE WALK A WHILE
AND TALK ABOUT

THE THINGS WE'LL DO
WHEN WE GET OUT OF SCHOOL

BIKE THE APPALACHIAN
TRAIL OR

WRITE A BOOK
OR LEARN TO SAIL

WOULDN'T THAT BE COOL?

THERE'S NOTHING
THAT WE CAN'T DISCUSS

LIKE GIRLS WE WISH
WOULD NOTICE US BUT NEVER DO

HE LOOKS AROUND
AND SAYS TO ME

"THERE'S NOWHERE
ELSE I'D RATHER BE"

AND I SAY
"ME TOO"

AND WE TALK
AND TAKE IN THE VIEW

WE JUST TALK
AND TAKE IN THE VIEW

ALL WE SEE IS SKY
FOR FOREVER

WE LET THE WORLD
PASS BY FOR FOREVER

FEELS LIKE WE COULD GO ON
FOR FOREVER THIS WAY

TWO FRIENDS
ON A PERFECT DAY

AND THERE HE GOES
RACING TOWARD THE TALLEST TREE

FROM FAR ACROSS THE YELLOW
FIELD I HEAR HIM CALLING "FOLLOW ME"

AND THERE WE GO

WONDERING HOW THE WORLD MIGHT
LOOK FROM UP SO HIGH

ONE FOOT AFTER THE OTHER
ONE BRANCH THEN TO ANOTHER

I CLIMB HIGHER
AND HIGHER

I CLIMB UNTIL THE ENTIRE SUN
SHINES ON MY FACE

AND I SUDDENLY FEEL
THE BRANCH GIVE WAY

I'M ON THE GROUND

MY ARM GOES NUMB

I LOOK AROUND

AND I SEE HIM COME
TO GET ME

HE'S COME
TO GET ME

AND EVERYTHING'S OKAY

ALL WE SEE IS SKY
FOR FOREVER

WE LET THE WORLD PASS BY
FOR FOREVER

BUDDY, YOU AND I
FOR FOREVER THIS WAY

THIS WAY

ALL WE SEE IS LIGHT
'CAUSE THE SUN BURNS BRIGHT

WE COULD BE ALRIGHT
FOR FOREVER THIS WAY

TWO FRIENDS

TRUE FRIENDS
ON A PERFECT DAY

YOU CAN SEE BEN PLATT IN
"DEAR EVAN HANSEN" ON BROADWAY,

AND AT THE TONY'S
JUNE 11TH ON CBS.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
