ROSE: An awkward girl with her guitar keeping to herself Friday nights alone with the records on her shelf A waitress pouring ginger ale and coke Someone you ask out as a joke I've been that girl who fades away Accepting what I've got Stuck in what I am and everything I'm not I've only seen this tiny world I'm in where I can only be where I've been See a world beautiful and strange Spinning off somewhere saying "Meet me there!" Look look how fast it runs away singing "Follow close and reach for me" See that you've got so much more for to be Before it's over, before it's over I can't go write another song I'm too afraid to play Or dream how things can change but only see what's in my way I can't go back to what I was before now that I can see so much more See a world beautiful and strange On a one way track and it won't come back Look look how fast it runs away singing "Follow close and reach for me" See that you've got so much more to be Before it's over I never even knew a world was waiting Somehow something awful made that world appear Maybe this sounds crazy but I'm happy that it happened Happy that I came Happy that I'm here I can see a world beautiful and strange Can you see it too? It's so close don't let it get away there's so much to do Before it's over
My professor is the coolest! These are all so amazing. I'm so honored to be studying music under you. My ears are blessed by the sounds of musical theater.
Before It's Over Lyrics An awkward girl with her guitar Keeping to herself Friday nights alone With the records on her shelf A waitress pouring gingerale and coke Someone you ask out as a joke I've been that girl who fades away Accepting what I've got Stuck in what I am And everything I'm not I've only seen this tiny world I'm in Where I can only be what I've been See a world beautiful and strange Spinning of somewhere Saying meet me there See a world beautiful and strange Spinning of somewhere Saying meet me there Look, look how fast it runs away Singing follow close and reach for me See that you've got so much more to be Before it's over Before it's over I can't go write another song I'm too afraid to play Or dream how things could change But only see what's in my way I can't go back to what I was before Now that I can see so much more See a world beautiful and strange On a one way track and it won't come back Look, look how fast it runs away Singing follow close and reach for me See that you've got so much more to be Before it's over I never even knew a world was waiting Somehow something awful made that world appear Maybe this sounds crazy but I'm happy that it happened Happy that I came Happy that I'm here I can see a world beautiful and strange Can you see it too? It's so close, don't let it get away There's so much to do Before it's over
Oh My God! This is so amazing! Thank you so much for putting all these instrumentals up! They Sound beautiful and they let me life out my Musical theatre fantasies! Keep up the good work!
