Comments:
This is one of the first songs we presented to the director and producers in 2015. Except for a word or two, it's remained unchanged since that time.
Lyrics:

Vivian:
 ONCE I DARED TO DREAM
AND THEN THE DREAM CAME TRUE
AND WHEN IT DID I WASN’T SURE WHAT TO DO

Edward:
 WHEN YOU FIND SOMEONE
OR WHEN SOMEONE FINDS YOU
IT'S THEN YOU’LL SEE
IT’S ALWAYS LOVE THAT SHINES THROUGH

Vivian:
 ‘CAUSE I BELIEVED IN YOU
AND YOU BELIEVED IN ME
Vivian and Edward:
AND IT’S A LONG WAY HOME

Edward:
 I REMEMBER WELL, THE WAY IT USED TO BE
Vivian and Edward:
AND IT’S A LONG WAY HOME

Vivian:
 AND I’M ALONE

Edward:
 WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
WHEN THE JOURNEY ENDS
THERE’S A WARM EMBRACE
THE FAMILIAR FACE OF A FRIEND

Edward and Vivian:
 ‘CAUSE I BELIEVED IN YOU
AND YOU BELIEVED IN ME
AND IT’S A LONG WAY HOME

AND I REMEMBER WELL
THE WAY IT USED TO BE
AND IT’S A LONG WAY HOME

Edward:
 AND I'M ALONE

Vivian and Edward:
 THERE’S SO MUCH I MISS
OH HOW I WISH OUR LIVES COULD BE

EXTRAORDINARY, EXTRAORDINARY
EXTRAORDINARY, EXTRAORDINARY
EXTRAORDINARY, EXTRAORDINARY
AGAIN

Vivian and Edward and Ensemble:
 ‘CAUSE I BELIEVED IN YOU
AND YOU BELIEVED IN ME
AND IT’S A LONG WAY HOME

I REMEMBER WELL
THE WAY IT USED TO BE
AND IT’S A LONG WAY HOME

Vivian and Edward:
 AND I'M ALONE

Edward:
 ONCE I DARED TO DREAM
