He Knows The Song In My Heart

The Male Ah Lian and I haven't been very diligent in performing our I-call-you-you-call-me-we-hang-out-talk-nonsense-and-bitch-all-night friend duties. In fact, ever since he left, we've probably only met up... I don't know... once? -_-'''


Even then, I was stuck at the office so he had to come visit with Umberraerra and Ah Beng. (They'd all left by then. T_T) The sweethearts even cared enough to bring me a sinful Secret Recipe cake. AWWW.

*eyes well up, heart melts*

Anyhoo, check out today's conversation.
(The first in a very, very, VERY long time.)

That was us talking about Urbanscapes tickets
I had him purchase on my behalf from KLPAC.

Then... I burst into song. Secara random.

The amazing bit?

HE KNEW THE SONG I WAS SINGING!!!

It's been ages since someone last completed a song for me. And this was totally unexpected cos it was in a CHAT! No tune, nothing! Summore I didn't start at the beginning of a sentence. I started like, mid-sentence. Haha. Feels... kinda nice. =)


But, wow. This is friendship, right? Imagine how it'd feel to eventually find that special someone who knows exactly what you intend to say before it even escapes your mouth. It must be... magical.

*dreamy*

Note to self:
This post is about friendship,
not love. FOCUS!

And in this particular case, that song I was singing was a freaking rare song lorrr. Broadway tune from Wicked, The Musical called For Good and it was sung by two witches – one green and one normal-looking. Haha. Sounds like a riot but the songs are really, really nice. Very clear vocals, too! (Lyrics at the end of this post.)

How could I not tell The Male Ah Lian
how much that one line from him meant to me?

Dear Male Ah Lian,
my ex-partner,

You and me, we've still got it.
And for that, I'm glad. =)

XOXO,
Pam Song

[Elphaba]
I'm limited
Just look at me, I'm limited
And just look at you, you can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
For both of us, now it's up to you

[Glinda]
I've heard it said that people come into our lives
For a reason – bringing something we must learn
And we are led to those who help us most to grow
If we let them and we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today because I knew you

Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
Because I knew you, I have been changed for good

[Elphaba]
It well may be that we will never meet again
In this lifetime, so let me say before we part
So much of me is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me like a hand print on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine by being my friend

Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird in a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you

[Glinda]
Because I knew you

[Glinda & Elphaba]
I have been changed for good

[Elphaba]
And just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for

[Glinda]
But then, I guess we know there's blame to share

[Glinda & Elphaba]
And none of it seems to matter anymore

[Glinda] (Elphaba)
Like a comet pulled from orbit (Like a ship blown off its mooring)
As it passes a sun (By a wind off the sea)
Like a stream that meets a boulder (Like a seed dropped by)
Half-way through the wood (A bird in the wood)

[Glinda & Elphaba]
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better

[Glinda]
And because I knew you

[Elphaba]
Because I knew you

[Glinda & Elphaba]
Because I knew you, I have been changed for good
