This song really hits the heart. It's hard to understand true friendship, until you find that someone, you'd gladly give your life for. No not a lover, no not a parent or family member. An honest to go angel. That's what best friends, and true friends are. They are angels that change our lives. Even in the smallest of ways, they're there.
This song really describes how much my best friend means to me, and even though she moved to australia last november, she will always be my best friend because of how much she has done for me and always been by my side. No amount of distance between two people could break us apart :)
im only 11 and my great grandma just died 3 days before Christmas. also my Grandpa died 2 days after Valentines day.... this is one of my favorite songs except every time i listen to this song i think of them and i just break down crying. i love them both so much. i am who i am today because i knew you. You both put a handprint on nmy heart. RIP Great Grams and Chocolate Milk Pappy. ( every time i came over he would make me chocolate milk) lots of love
My Great Grandmother died on Friday, she was cremated on saturday, and her funeral will be on Wednesday. When she was in the hospital she used to always ask me to sing this song for her. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and singing this at her funeral. I love you Grandma Shirl and you did change me for good.
I'm starting high school in my a few months. Most of my friends are going to different schools and I'm afraid of never seeing them again. I dedicate this song to my friends, they are a big part of my life.
7 years later. A kid is scrolling in the comments section and see’s this. It reminds her of herself cause she is going to a high school without any of her friends or anyone going to her current school. The girl see’s your comment and is also afraid of seeing her current friends again. Hi, how are ya? Also, did it work out for you and your friends? Also, I’m not going to a school without anyone I talk to cause I’m moving, but cause I got into a high school through a performing arts program.
@@elainaturgeon4385 3 years later. I'm cleaning out my email and see this. Hope you are doing well, and hope you found a way to keep in touch with your old friends and make some new ones! It was hit or miss for me, some people I never saw again, and some I'm still close with. But like the song says: "And now whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend." Cheers!
I'm moving and the people at my church have help me so much so I'm out of my comfort zone to sing this for them. Because they step out their comfort zones to help me.
I've heard it said That people come into our lives For a reason Bringing something we must learn And we are led to those Who help us most to grow if we let them And we help them in return Well, I don't know if I believe that's true But I know I'm who I am today Because I knew you Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes the sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better But because I knew you I have been changed for good It well may be That we will never meet again In this lifetime So, let me say before we part So much of me Is made of what I learned from you You'll be with me Like a handprint on my heart And now whatever way our stories end I know you have rewritten mine By being my friend Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a sky bird In a distant wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better But because I knew you Because I knew you I have been changed for good And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness For the things I've done, you blame me for But then I guess We know there's blame to share And none of it seems to matter anymore Like a comet pulled from orbit (like a ship blown from its mooring) As it passes the sun (by a wind off the sea) Like a stream that meets a boulder (like a seed dropped by a bird) Halfway through the wood (in the wood) Who can say if I've been changed for the better I do believe I have been changed for the better And because I knew you Because I knew you Because I knew you I have been changed For good
This song reminds me of my theatre friends and favorite director (who's like a brother to me) who I've seen every day for the past two months and who I won't see for at least a few months😔.
i have a freind who moved countries a few months ago, and meeting her completely changed my life and made me grow into a new person, and i thank her so much for everything shes done for me. I was thinking of singing this to her on her last night, but chickened out, i wish i did now, because i miss her so much and she has no idea of the impact she had on my life. shes my best freind still but this song just puts into words our relationship.i miss you so much vick! Wicked forever
This song was sang at my graduation... I'm so glad I learned it before. I honestly didn't know the meaning of it until I met my my best friend. She has shown me so much that, now, every time I hear or sing this song she pops into my head. Honestly, tears start to form. She has changed my life. No matter which ways our stories end she will always be with me. She has re-written mine because she is my friend... For Good. Thanks for putting this karaoke on here. It means a lot to me. :)
I sang this song at my graduation, and now that in the fall I will be going to a different high school without my best friend, this song brings back 1'000'000s of memories. :(
Even though this song is focusing on friendship, I always thought this would be a perfect duet for a couple or anyone in general. It's such a happy-sad song that I tend to cheer up after listening to songs like this.
I love hearing this song so much- it makes cry just hearing it, but I love that. To everyone who commented saying something similar, it's okay to be sad and to cry at something. Being sad, it's one of the few things we can do for ourselves to make us feel better, and in the end, we ALWAYS feel better because of it.
Everyone who commented below about how this song made them cry or sad or remember someone that truly touching to know that music is so powerful it can do that i hope all of u relize its ok to be sad cause in the end it just makes ur happy days look happier. :)
Were singing this song in choir and I fell in love with it the first day(: theres 2 solo oppertunities and I want the 1st one (which is the first verse) its beautiful
I never really understood this song until I found a friend who has changed my life so much beyond anyone I've ever known before - thank you for being my friend and for putting up with me and even though we live so far apart I know you'll be with me forever, like a handprint on my heart.
This song gives me chills especially where it says "I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend." There are a couple people who have done that for me. they've rewritten the story of my life by taking the time to know me, even though I am a very hard person to understand at times. I have a mild form of autism and it's really hard to get to know me because I'm locked up inside myself. my good friends have gotten to know me. thank you, you've truly changed my life for the better. For good.
I just wish there was some way that I could contact Stephen Schwartz, not because he's famous, not to congratulate him on writing the best musical the world will ever see... but to *thank* him for blessing my life with amazing and unbelievably emotional music. Without Wicked, without Schwartz, I don't know what I would do. I *need* to contact him in some way!
I always think of my friend Naoko whenever I hear this; she died on 14th September 2009. She learnt the English for this one song and we duetted it over the phone together :) I've got it recorded still and it makes me think ... I was lucky to have to her as a friend, however long it was for.
You cannot even fathom what this means to me right now as I too had the same thing happen. I was a jerk in some ways but so was he and in the end, he just left.... I didn't understand and perhaps never will but this song at my concert tonight, this song made me remember him....And who he made me be as a person.
this song speaks to me. i had a friend and we went everywhere together. we were like a knot tied together. ever since she became popular she forgot about me. so she changed my life forever. i still see her, but we never speak to each other. i will still remember her. we have pictures of each other and songs and memories, like a handprint on my heart. i guess i will never be friends with her. ever again.
Reading some of these comments seriously brought more tears to my eyes then this song!! You guys are all wonderful for sharing your feelings on here it might have been awhile back but still!! :D
This song is very important to me because this year my best friend moved away.Not only to another house to a state over 7days away. We both like Wicked...Like we are obsessed..So on graduation day I decide to sing this to here after the actual ceremony.She joined in but we were such messes that we were crying whole song. Now when I ever I hear any form of this song it makes me sad.But it also makes me happy because everything said in this song is true for me and her.I have been changed for good.
Everytime i hear this song it makes me want to cry because me and my friend performed this on the last day of camp and we will most likely never see eachother again.
I have three best friends that I could sing this to. I call two of them Nessa And Glinda. They call me Elphaba/Elphie. This is such a great song!! I almost didn't get through it without crying!!! Thank you.
This song is something special to me.Me and one of my best friends were going to see it, when she got in an car wreck. After that i was so heart broken that i cud not see it But then befor her funeral her mother came to me and asked me if i cud sing one of her favoritt songs at her funeral. I was so shocked when i found out it was this song, So me and another one of mine and Sara's best friend sang this to her
as much as i love the song and appreciate a karaoke version being up, it's so slow! and some of the rhythms as well as some of the words are incorrect.
this song helps me think of friends that i have lost. and its a great tool for my student to practice with and the piano part which i can not play very well. thanks for the post
luv this great timing i luved how u had the words come a split second b4 u had to sing them tht way u could see wat u had to sing next a lot of ppl make it where it comes a little after or right when it starts and some times I mess up : )
Okies here goes nothing, I wanna dedicate this song to my bestest friend in the whole wide world. She is always there for me, and yeah, even though she gets on my nerves and I get on hers, we're still always there for eachother and I love her to pieces. So, yeah :) Love you!!
@iplaylyrice Oh my goodness!! That's so sad! :( Very sorry for your loss!! When I read that last sentence, it just hit me really hard and I started crying! :'(
i always thought this song was silly and that nothing like that happend in real life. but then i met the most wonderful person ever and when it was time to go our sepret way they sang this song to me and i new that evan though we would most likeley never see each other again that it was ok because i would have this song and so would they. So i want to make this a shot out to my best friend in the would world. i love you bryan and i am hoping you get internet in haven so that you can see this.
@punkrocker1515 hey its iplaylyrice and i just wanted to thank you 4 ur kind words. bryan passed away a long time ago but it still hurts. When it happened everyone was telling me how sorry they were. but after it had been a while they stoped so every time i hear somebody say how sorry they are it reminds me that Yes bryan was here he wasnt a dream he really was my best friend. thank you so much. U said that reading what i had wrote made you cry. well when i read ur comment i cryed 2. :-)
Ouvi dizer Que sempre existe uma razão Pros encontros São momentos pra aprender E a vida traz Alguém que vem nos ensinar Se deixarmos E soubermos devolver Se é verdade eu não sei dizer Mas olhando no que eu me tornei Eu encontro você Como a rota de um cometa Que encontra o Sol Como um rio que no oceano Ganha um novo fim Pelo bem ou pelo mal Não importa Mas por sua causa Tudo mudou em mim E pode ser Que a gente não se encontre mais nessa vida Por isso a minha confissão O que eu sou Foi transformado por você Sua marca Vou levar no coração Não sei se a história acaba bem ou mal Mas nossa amizade fez Um novo final Como vento que carrega Uma vela pro mar Como a chuva no deserto Cria um jardim Pelo bem ou pelo mal Não importa Mas por sua causa Por sua causa Tudo mudou em mim Eu peço o seu perdão Por tudo aquilo Que eu fiz e que te machucou Mas o que eu fiz Também não tem razão E agora o que era mágoa Já passou Como a rota de um cometa (como vento que carrega) Que encontra o Sol (uma vela pro mar) Como um rio que no oceano (como a chuva) Ganha um novo fim (faz nascer um jardim) Pelo bem ou pelo mal Não importa E no final o nosso encontro é o que importa E por sua causa Por sua causa Por sua causa Tudo mudou Em mim
@tOrReSiSlOvE9 Ours was for the last concert of the year and half of the choir is made of seniors. Not only that, a good 40% of my friends are seniors. I'M LOSING THEM ALL!!! WAHH!!!!
