The Explorer & The Bear (From 'Paddington The Musical')

So close, I can almost hear him calling out my name

So close, pretty soon, my life won't ever be the same

Nobody guessed that an explorer and a bear

Could be the perfect pair

So close, I can almost see him open up the door

This hat tells him I'm the one that he's been waiting for

He'll share all his stories until his throat is hoarse

So, I'll make him a sandwich, marmalade of course

He'll show me things I've never seen

Where I've never been

There's no greater team out there

And when the two of us combine, all the stars will shine

You won't ever find a pair

That compares to the explorer and the bear

So close, I can't wait to tell Aunt Lucy he's been found

Though I'll find it hard to say goodbye to all the girls

They have shown me what it's like to have a home

But now, it's time for me to find one of my own

He'll show me things I've never seen

Where I've never been

There's no greater team out there

And when the two of us combine, all the stars will shine

You won't ever find a pair

That compares to the explorer and the bear

I don't know where he's hiding

But I know that I'll find him

And then, we'll be just like a family

He'll say, "Let's stay together

All day, always whatever the weather

This way forever and ever"

That's when I'll belong somewhere

He'll show me things I've never seen

Where I've never been

There's no greater team out there

And when the two of us combine, all the stars will shine

You won't ever find a pair

There will be laughter in the air

You'll be glad I'm there

Nothing can compare to the explorer and the bear
