THEY WERE YOU
Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt
From "The Fantasticks" (1960)

When the moon was young, when the month was May,
When the stage was hung for my holiday,
I saw shining lights, but I never knew
They were you. They were you. They were you.

When the dance was done, when I went my way,
When I tried to find rainbows far away,
All the lovely lights seemed to fade from view.
They were you. They were you. They were you.

Every secret prayer, every fancy-free,
Everything I dreamed for both you and me,
All my wildest dreams multiplied by two,
They were you. They were you. They were you.
