Left Behind
Jonathan Groff and Company Lyrics
You fold his hands and smooth his tie
You gently lift his chin
Were you really so blind
And unkind to him?
Can't help the itch to touch, to kiss
To hold him once again
Now to close his eyes
Never open them
A shadow passed, a shadow passed
Yearning, yearning for the fool
It called a home
All things he never did
Are left behind
All the things his mama
Wished he'd bear in mind
And all his dad had hoped he'd know
Oh
The talks you never had
The Saturdays you never spent
All the grown-up places
You never went
And all of the crying
You wouldn't understand
You just let him cry
Make a man out of him
A shadow passed, a shadow passed
Yearning, yearning for the fool
It called a home
All things he ever wished
Are left behind
All the things his mama
Did to make him mind
And how his dad had hoped he'd grow
All things he ever lived
Are left behind
All the fears that ever
Flickered through his mind
All the sadness that
He'd come to own
Oh
Oh
Oh
A shadow passed, a shadow passed
Yearning, yearning for the fool
It called a home
And it whistles through the ghosts
Still left behind
It whistles through the ghosts
Still left behind
It whistles through the ghosts
Still left behind
Oh
You gently lift his chin
Were you really so blind
And unkind to him?
Can't help the itch to touch, to kiss
To hold him once again
Now to close his eyes
Never open them
A shadow passed, a shadow passed
It called a home
All things he never did
Are left behind
All the things his mama
Wished he'd bear in mind
And all his dad had hoped he'd know
Oh
The talks you never had
The Saturdays you never spent
All the grown-up places
You never went
And all of the crying
You wouldn't understand
You just let him cry
Make a man out of him
A shadow passed, a shadow passed
Yearning, yearning for the fool
It called a home
All things he ever wished
Are left behind
All the things his mama
Did to make him mind
And how his dad had hoped he'd grow
All things he ever lived
Are left behind
All the fears that ever
Flickered through his mind
All the sadness that
He'd come to own
Oh
Oh
Oh
A shadow passed, a shadow passed
Yearning, yearning for the fool
It called a home
And it whistles through the ghosts
Still left behind
It whistles through the ghosts
Still left behind
It whistles through the ghosts
Still left behind
Oh

You fold his hands and smooth his tie
You gently lift his chin
Were you really so blind
And unkind to him?
Can't help the itch to touch, to kiss
To hold him once again
Now to close his eyes
Never open them
A shadow passed, a shadow passed
Yearning, yearning
For the fool it called a home
All things he never did are left behind
All the things his mama wished he'd bear in mind
And all his dad had hoped he'd know
The talks you never had
The Saturdays you never spent
All the grown-up places
You never went
And all of the crying
You wouldn't understand
You just let him cry
Make a man out of him
A shadow passed, a shadow passed
Yearning, yearning
For the fool it called a home
All things he ever wished are left behind
All the things his mama did to make him mind
And how his dad had hoped he'd grow
All things he ever lived are left behind
All the fears that ever flickered through his mind
All the sadness that he'd come to own
A shadow past, a shadow past
Yearning, yearning
For the fool it called a home
And it whistles through the ghosts still left behind
It whistles through the ghosts still left behind
It whistles through the ghosts still left behind

And unkind to him
Can't help the itch to touch, to kiss
To hold him once again
Now to close his eyes
Never open them
A shadow passed, a shadow passed
Yearning, yearning
For the fool it called a home
All things... All things
All things... All things
All things... All things

My friend had passed over the summer, and this song was the only thing that he listened to... It brings me to tears everytime i watch it. So i would just like to say RIP Caleb Neff.
