Hadestown watches Hadestown!

All I've Ever Known

I love this song, but sorry if this chapter isn't that good I'm in reading class rn. Anyways I'm thinking that I'm gonna have them react to Charming from Great Comet during intermission.

"Okay everyone prepare for an adorable love song!" Elizabeth said excitedly.

[EURYDICE] 

I was alone so long

I didn't even know that I was lonely

Out in the cold so long

I didn't even know that I was cold

Turned my collar to the wind

This is how it's always been

"It has been that way" Eurydice said.

All I've ever known is how to hold my own

All I've ever known is how to hold my own

But now I wanna hold you, too

Orpheus looked at Eurydice with kind glittering eyes. (Thank you Great Comet for that line) Smiling, the couple shared a tender hug.

You take me in your arms

And suddenly there's sunlight all around me

Everything bright and warm

And shining like it never did before

And for a moment I forget

Just how dark and cold it gets

"Wait I really help you like that?" asked Orpheus, touched by the words of the song. Eurydice nodded. 

All I've ever known is how to hold my own

All I've ever known is how to hold my own

But now I wanna hold you

Now I wanna hold you, hold you close

I don't wanna ever have to let you go

Now I wanna hold you, hold you tight

I don't wanna go back to the lonely life

"Weeeeelllll you don't necessarily go back to the lone life" Elizabeth said, everyone was confused by what that meant. 

[ORPHEUS]

I don't know how or why

Or who am I that I should get to hold you

But when I saw you all alone against the sky

It's like I'd known you all along

I knew you before we met

And I don't even know you yet

All I know is you're someone I have always known

Everyone realized how sweet the couple is, Persephone was reminded of her early relationship with Hades.

[ORPHEUS and EURYDICE]

All I know is you're someone I have always known

And I don't even know you

Now I wanna hold you, hold you close

I don't wanna ever have to let you go

[EURYDICE]

Suddenly the sunlight

Bright and warm

[ORPHEUS]

Suddenly I'm holding the world in my arms

"I've never realized this line before even though I've listened to this a lot." Elizabeth said matter of factly.

[EURYDICE]

Say that you'll hold me forever

Say that the wind won't change on us

Say that we'll stay with each other

And it will always be like this

[ORPHEUS]

I'm gonna hold you forever

The wind will never change on us

Long as we stay with each other

[ORPHEUS and EURYDICE] 

Then it will always be like this

The couple shared a chaste kiss. Everyone looked at them softly, they could all tell that they shared much love. Even Hades could tell, albeit he didn't realize how much love they shared as he could only think of his failed marriage with his wife.
