It Takes Two

Stephen Sondheim

It takes two
I thought one was enough
It's not true
It takes two of us
You came through
When the journey was rough
It took you
It took two of us

It takes care
It takes patience and fear and despair
To change
Though you swear to change
Who can tell if you do?
It takes two

You've changed
You're thriving
There's something about the woods
Not just surviving
You're blossoming in the woods

At home I'd fear
We'd stay the same forever
But then out here
You're passionate, charming, considеrate, clever

It takеs one
To begin, but then once
You've begun
It takes two of you
It's no fun
But what needs to be done
You can do
When there's two of you

If I dare
It's because I'm becoming aware
Of us
As a pair
Of us
Each accepting a share
Of what's there

We've changed
We're strangers
I'm meeting you in the woods
Who minds
What dangers?
I know we'll get past the woods

And once we're past
Let's hope the changes last
Beyond woods
Beyond witches and slippers and hoods
Just the two of us
Beyond lies
Safe at home with our beautiful prize
Just the few of us

It takes trust
It takes just
A bit more
And we're done
We want four
We had none
We've got three
We need one
It takes two
