Into The Woods Stay With Me lyrics

WITCH
What did I clearly say?
Children must listen.

RAPUNZEL
No, no, please!

WITCH
What were you not to do?
Childrem must see-

RAPUNZEL
No!

WITCH
And learn.

Why could you not obey?
Children should listen.
What have I been to you?
What would you have me be?
Handsome like a Prince?

Ah, but I am old.
I am ugly.
I embarass you.

RAPUNZEL
No!

WITCH
You are ashamed of me.

RAPUNZEL
No!

WITCH
You are ashamed.
You don`t understand.

RAPUNZEL
It was lonely atop that tower.

WITCH
I was not company enough?

RAPUNZEL
I am no longer a child. I wish to see the world.

WITCH
Don`t you know what`s out there in the world?
Someone has to shield you from the world.
Stay with me.

Princes wait there in the world, it`s true.
Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too.
Stay at home.
I am home.

Who out there could love you more than I?
What out there that I cannot supply?
Stay with me.

Stay with me,
The world is dark and wild.
Stay a child while you can be a child.
With me.
