[ABIGAIL, spoken]
That night
Back home
In the dark

[JO, spoken]
So how will you do it?

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
While Shaun lies sleeping next to me

[JO, spoken]
How will it possibly work?

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
I keep planning and conjuring and dreaming this idea
Until finally
I step fully inside it

[JO, spoken]
How can you squeeze your whole lives into a hundred days?

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
We'll have Halloween in the morning
Christmas in the afternoon
Birthdays at sundown
[JO, spoken]
It sounds like a game

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
It is like a game

[REGGIE, spoken]
How will you speed up time?
What about the seasons?

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
We'll make snow in the freezer for winter
We'll grow geraniums in the bathroom for spring
We'll watch the traffic outside our window
And call it the Thanksgiving Day Parade

[JO]
The years the years the years go by
The years the years the years go by

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
Time slooooooooows down

[REGGIE / JO] (add harmony)
The years the years the years go by
[REGGIE / JO / DANI / COLETTE]
The years the years the years go by

[SHAUN, spoken]
The seconds stretch into hours

[REGGIE / JO / DANI / COLETTE / ABIGAIL / SHAUN]
The years the years the years go by

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
We touch each moment as it floats by

[ALL]
The years the years go by (The years the years the years go by)
The years the years go by (The years the years the years go by)

[JO, spoken]
The red door opens

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
We see our whole lives stretched out in front of us
An open road, all the way to the ocean

[REGGIE]
The years the years
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
And he says
Let's begin

[JO, spoken]
Day one

[REGGIE] [JO, spoken]
The years keep on turning away from our faces, the / Day two
Light passes over us, oh how the days, how the / Day three
Days keep on turning, turning away from our faces, the / Day four
Light passes, oh how the days, how the
Days keep turning

[ABIGAIL, spoken] [REGGIE, spoken]
The snow is falling / Day five
The petals are falling / Day six
The seasons are spinning so quickly
That we can walk right through them / Day ten
It's working

[ALL] [REGGIE, spoken]
The years the years the years go by / Day nineteen
The years the years the years go by / Day thirty
The years the years the years go by / Day thirty-eight
The years the years go by (The years the years the years go by)
The years the years go by (The years the years the years go by)

[REGGIE] (continuous; ABIGAIL / SHAUN speak over him)
The years the years
The years keep on turning away from our faces

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
And as we walk the road grows longer

[REGGIE]
The light passes over us
Oh how the days

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
And as we walk the days become one long day

[REGGIE]
How the days keep on turning
Turning away from our faces
The light passes

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
And as we walk the seconds become one long second

[REGGIE] [COLETTE / DANI] [JO] (simultaneous when couplets)
Oh how the days, how the
I love you more

Days keep on turning
The years the years go by

Away from our faces, the
I love you more

Light passes over us
The years the years go by

Oh how the days, how
I love you more

The days keep on turning

Turning
The years the years go by

Away from our faces, the
I love you more

Light passes

The years the years go by

Oh how the days

[REGGIE / JO]
I love you more
I love you more
I love you more
I love you more
