I’ve always been an insanely huge Broadway fan. I’ve seen a variety of different shows (obviously, from bootlegs of course), and I know almost every single song lyric and note from each show tune track I listen to. In a way, I can say that musicals were there for me in a time when no one could be. And when examining my favorite lyrics from different Broadway show tunes for this article, I found it to be a difficult feat. I love them all so much. However, I managed to come up with a list of the five that mean the most to me. In no particular order, of course.

 

1. “And just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness for the things you done you blame me for.

        But then I guess we know there’s blame to share, and none of it seems to matter anymore” ~ Wicked

 

 

2.  “Let the moment go.

        Don’t forget it for a moment though.

        Just remembering you had an ‘and’ when you’re back to “or” makes the ‘or’ mean more than you did before. ~ Into the Woods

 

 

3. “There’s only us, there’s only this.

       Forget regret, or life is yours to miss.

       No other road. No other way. No day but today.” ~ Rent

 

 

4. “I’m past patiently waiting I’m passionately smashing every expectation every action’s an act of creation” ~ Hamilton

 

 

5. “Even when the dark comes crashing through.

       When you need a friend to carry you.

       And when you’re broken on the ground, you will be found.” ~ Dear Evan Hansen

 

 

Just a simple girl trying to figure out her place in this world... obviously while holding a cup of coffee in her hand!
