"Back Then" lyrics

De'Adre Aziza, Idina Menzel & Original Broadway Cast of Redwood Lyrics

"Back Then"
(from "Redwood (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)

[MEL:]
Do you remember when we met?
How you fell in my arms as we collided at the bar?
I started to apologize, but your hazel eyes
Hit me deep inside, you had me mesmerized

That moment in time would change both our lives...

When I look at pictures of us
All that shines back is how happy we were
Makes me think we're meant to be
So what if we tried again
To get back to back then?

Remember when I proposed in front of everyone?

[JESSE:]
You asked me and you asked my son
Meant everything so that little boy

[JESSE, MEL:]
He brought us so much joy
Our two became a three, our own family

[JESSE (MEL):]
That's the time I'll always treasure, but it hurts to remember... (It hurts to remember)
I can't look at (When I look at)

[JESSE, MEL:]
Pictures of us
All that shines back is how happy we were

[JESSE:]
It hurts to see what we used to be

[MEL:]
But what if we tried again?

[JESSE:]
I just can't...

[JESSE, MEL:]
To go back to back then...
Back then...

[MEL (JESSE):]
Remember those times (I'm not gonna cry)
Let's try

[MEL, JESSE:]
Again...

[JESSE (MEL):]
Too much has changed (Our bond is the same)
I can't try

[MEL, JESSE:]
Again...

[MEL (JESSE):]
Again... (Again...)

[JESSE:]
I just can't go

[JESSE, MEL:]
Back to back then...
Back then...
