Broadway Songs with twist endings

Wondering if anyone can think of musical theatre songs that have twist endings in their lyrics. Where the meaning of the words change as the song goes on or it becomes clear at the end that the character was singing about something or someone else. A few examples that come to mind are “Someone Else’s Story” from Chess and “If You Could See Her” from Cabaret. Even the ending of the song “I’ll be Here” from Ordinary Days, where the lyrics don’t change but the words “I’ll be here” take on a different context at the end. Thank you!

What's the twist in "Someone Else's Story"?

Me and the sky from come from away for sure

This is interesting, because I always thought that was just a tongue-in-cheek line intended for the audience. I didn't consider it to have any meaning beyond that. But this is an interesting way to look at it, thanks for mentioning it!

Brigadoon's "The Love of My Life" is very different from what the title would suggest.

"For Forever" in DEH takes on a different meaning once you find out what really happened with Evan and the tree.

Technically an Off-Broadway song, but ‘Stars And The Moon’ from Jason Robert Brown’s SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD has a great, heartcatching twist. She sings throughout about all the trappings of an affluent, jet-setting life, only to come to the realisation that “my God, I’ll never have the moon.”

Gets me every time, but especially when it’s Audra.

You're all really going to skip a 13 minute song where a rough n tumble leading man sings about having a boy...only 11 minutes in does he realize it could be a girl....

"Chrysanthemum Tea" from "Pacific Overtures."
