Elphaba

   Kiss me too fiercely,

hold me too tight,

I need help believing

you’re with me tonight.

   My wildest dreamings

could not foresee

lying beside you

with you wanting me.

   Just for this moment,

as long as you’re     mine,

I’ve lost all resistance

and crossed some borderline.

And if it turns out

   it’s over too fast –

   I’ll make     every last     moment     last…

   as long as you’re     mine.

Fiyero

   Maybe I’m brainless,

maybe I’m wise,

but you’ve got me seeing

through different eyes.

Somеhow I’ve fallen

under your spеll

and somehow, I’m feeling

it’s up that I fell.

Elphaba & Fiyero

   Every moment,

as long as you’re    mine,

I’ll wake up my body

and make up for lost time.

Fiyero

Say there’s no future

   for us as a pair…

Elphaba & Fiyero

And though    I may know

   I don’t    care.

    Just for   this moment,

as long as you’re mine,

come be how you want to

   and see how bright we shine.

Borrow the moonlight

   until it is through,

and know I’ll be here,

   holding you,

as long as you’re    mine.

Fiyero, spoken

   What is it?

Elphaba, spoken

   For the first time

   I feel Wicked.
