The Great Gatsby the Musical - For Her Lyrics
The song is written by Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen.
GATSBY: (spoken)
I’ve always known
What I was fighting for
NICK: (spoken)
What was that?
GATSBY: (spoken)
Hm. The one that got away
(sung)
I’ve done it all for her
Put up each wall for her
All the plans I laid
All the options weighed
Every price I paid for her
I went to war for her
Braved foreign shore for her
Bottled up the guilt
Then I went full tilt
Rivaled Vanderbilt for her
Daisy
You fight and return
Only to learn that you
Have lost her
Daisy
My waiting is through
If you bring her to me
I’ll be indebted to you
NICK: (spoken)
Daisy… Buchanan?
GATSBY: (spoken)
Daisy Fay, when I knew her.
Look, we were sweethearts
When I was stationed back in Louisville.
(sung)
I’ve come so far for her
The finest caviar for her
Everything I own
Every party thrown
All the nights alone for her
Daisy
She slipped through my hands
No one understands
How she has changed me
Daisy
I need one more chance
If you bring her to me
I will know at a glance
NICK: (spoken)
My cousin’s a married woman, Mr. Gatsby-
GATSBY:
This could turn for me
And I can guarantee
When all is done I’ll be
Forever in your debt
This time I won’t let go
Help me to make it so
Try as one might, you know that
There is no forgetting her!
Daisy
You fight and return
Only to learn
That you have lost her
Daisy
I need one more chance
Am I chasing a dream?
I will know at a glance
I’ve done it all for her
Put up each wall for her
But the status quo
Just one piece to go (?)
Now she has to know
It’s all for her!

Roaring On
Sophisticated
My Share of the Heavens
For Her
Valley of Ashes
For Better or Worse
Only Tea
My Green Light
Better Hold Tight
Past Is Catching Up to Me
Go
Valley of Ashes (reprise)
For Better or Worse (reprise)
For Her (reprise)
Beautiful Little Fool
Finale Roaring On
