Lyrics & Translation

[English]

welcome back now

uh this week this past couple of weeks

here at the show has been about

us saying goodbye to to you who watch us

every night but also about saying

goodbye to the the friends that we've

made on the show and truly there has

been no greater friend to our show than

than you three you have been and I want

to thank you for

always showing up for us and our team at

the show from minute one to now even the

fact that when we called you and said

look would you come and do this bit this

couple you met your first answer was yes

when dnce had cake by the ocean this was

the first place you came and played it

and all of this I felt like culminated

in when I saw you in a restaurant and

you talked about the fact that your

bands were getting back together and

could we do something on the show and we

did that sketch and you were here all

week and we kidnapped you which was

which was an amazing thing at the time

although it has filled my social media

feeds with people asking me to kidnap

One Direction which isn't going to

happen okay

from me and not just me the entire team

that are here we absolutely love you and

I want to thank you so much

[Applause]

and this this show has been so welcoming

for us for so many years we absolutely

love everyone and everyone that you

don't see behind the scenes too you have

an incredible group around you and thank

you for always being so welcoming to us

that was probably such a special moment

for us with you sharing the secret that

we were going to be back together and

come here for some carpooling secret

miles away I don't know how that was

still a secret but um seriously thank

you and thank you for bringing so much

joy and laughs and tears for all these

amazing people

nights Mila Kunis is going to be here so

Patrick Stewart's coming down and we

have our final ever crosswalk the

musical we hope you'll join us Reggie

take us home

[Applause]
