GATSBY: It was under a willow tree Five years ago in Louisville I kissed the nicest girl I’ll meet And time stood still It was clear she had her pick Of any man in uniform I kissed her, and I knew I’d never stray But then the world got in the way Fought a war that wasn’t mine I lost men, and I lost time Her kiss would keep me going I pushed on never knowing When I was done When I got home The nicest girl I’d known Believed that I was gone But I kept holding on We’ll go back to that kiss To that row of willow trees All the years that we missed Will blow away with the breeze They say you can’t relive the past But you know what I see? Finally the past Is catching up to me Soon we’ll share in what I’ve done I’ll say that I have crossed a line I tell you Every lavish night was by design I’ve become the man her world Demanded me to be With only a nickel to my name I’ve bet it all to get in the game (?) Had a past to rectify Made that nickel multiply It took no time to love her Just to be worthy of her And now she’ll see the path I laid us The second chance I made For us to start again When we return to then We’ll go back to that kiss To that row of willow trees All the years that we missed Will blow away with the breeze They say you can’t relive the past But you know what I see? Finally the past Is catching up to me We’ll be living back in time Just as it was before Only now she will have everything and more Money can’t buy happiness No sir But it brings me a little closer… Take them back (?) To that kiss To that row of willow trees All the years That we missed Will blow away with the breeze They say you can’t relive the past But I know what I see, oh Finally the past Finally the past Finally the past Is catching up to me

[JAY] It was under a willow tree Five years ago in Louisville: I danced with Daisy in my arms And time stood still It was clear she had her pick of any man in uniform She kissed me, and swore she'd never stray But then the world got in the way Fought a war, returned to see Another fight in front of me And now I must remind her of the love we left behind Her words that night, the vow she said back then I'll help her say again One party left to throw How could she say no? We'll go back to that kiss To that row of willow trees All the years that wе missed Will blow away with the breeze Thеy say you can't relive the past But you know what I see? Finally the past is catchin' up to me Some will shudder at what I've done Or say that I have crossed a line I tell you, every lavish night Was by design How to become the man her world demanded me to be With only a nickel to my name I bet it all to get in the game Had a past to rectify Made that nickel multiply It took no time to love her Just to be worthy of her And though the years have passed us by One memory survives If she could see it too But see it through my eyes... We'll go back to that kiss To that row of willow trees All the years that we missed Will blow away with the breeze They say you can't relive the past But you know what I see? Finally the past is catchin' up to me Daisy always saw in me a man who knew his worth Now that man can give her everything on Earth Money can't buy happiness, no sir But it brings you closer, and closer, and closer... Take her back to that kiss To that row of willow trees All the years that we missed Will blow away with the breeze They say you can't relive the past But I know what I see And oh, finally the past Finally the past Finally the past [ENSEMBLE] Oh, oh, oh Ah... [JAY] Is catchin' up to me
