[Jo, spoken]
When you were first born, not an hour old
I told Marmee–

[Beth, spoken]
"Beth is mine!"

[Jo]
Everyone has someone special in the world
And I have you, my sweet Beth
Give me a task to do!

[Beth, sung]
Let's pretend we're riding on a kite
Let's imagine we're flying through the air

[Jo, sung]
We'll ascend until we're out of sight
Light as paper, we'll soar

[Beth]
Let's be wild up high above the sand
Feel the wind, the world at our command
Let's enjoy the view and never land

[Jo]
Floating far from the shore
[Beth]
Some things are meant to be
The clouds moving fast and free

[Jo]
The sun on a silver sea

[Both]
A sky that's bright and blue

[Beth]
And some things will never end

[Jo]
The thrill of our magic ride

[Beth]
The love that I feel inside for you

[Jo]
We'll climb high beyond the break of day

[Beth]
Sleep on stardust and dine on bits of moon

[Jo]
You and I will find the Milky Way
We'll be mad (we'll be mad)
[Both]
And explore

[Beth]
We'll recline (we'll recline)

[Both]
Aloft upon the breeze

[Beth]
Dart about (dart about)

[Both]
Sail on with windy ease
Pass the days doing only as we please
That's what living is for

[Beth]
Some things are meant to be
The tide turning endlessly
The way it takes hold of me
No matter what I do

Some things will never die
The promise of who you are
Your memories when I am far from you
All my life, I've lived for loving you
Let me go now
