Stay With Me

(앨범: Into The Woods (2022 Broadway Cast Recording) - 2022)

What did I clearly say?
Children must listen

No, no, please!

What were you not to do?
Children must see

No!

And learn

Why could you not obey?
Children should listen
What have I been to you?
What would you have me be?
Handsome like a Prince?

Ah, but I am old
I am ugly
I embarrass you

No!

Yes!
You are ashamed of me

No!

You are ashamed
You don't understand

It was lonely atop that tower

I was not company enough?

I am no longer a child. I wish to see the world

Don't you know what's out there in the world?
Someone has to shield you from the world
Stay with me

Princes wait there in the world, it's true
Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too
Stay at home
I am home

Who out there could love you more than I?
What out there that I cannot supply?
Stay with me

Stay with me
The world is dark and wild
Stay a child while you can be a child
With me
