Waitin' For My Dearie
Waitin' For My Dearie
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Fiona:
Many a lassie as ev'ryone knows'll
Try to be married before twenty-five
So she'll agree to most any proposal
All he mus' be is a man, an' alive
I hold a dream an' there's no compromisin'
I know there's one certain laddie for me
One day he'll come walkin' o'er the horizon
But should he not, then an old maid I'll be
Foolish, ye may say
Foolish I will stay
Waitin' for my dearie, an' happy am I
to hold my heart till he comes strollin' by
When he comes, my dearie, one look an' I'll know
That he's the dearie I've been wantin' so
Though I'll live forty lives till the day he arrives
I'll not ever, ever grieve
For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by
For ye see, I believe
That there's a laddie weary, and wanderin' free
Who's waitin' for his dearie
Me!
1st Girl:
What do ye do while ye're waitin' around
For your lad to come your way?
Fiona:
Well, when no one is lookin', ye kneel on the ground
An' ye pray an' pray an' pray!
2nd Girl:
But when lassies sit an' have no men
Oh, how long becomes the night
Fiona:
But I fear the night is longer when the lad's no' right
Waitin' for my dearie is sweeter to me
Than wooin' any laddie on the lea
Girls:
Dreamin' of your dearie, an' idlin' the day
Fiona:
That's how I am an' how I'll ever stay
Though I'll live forty lives till the day he arrives
I'll not ever, ever grieve
For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by
For ye see, I believe
Fiona And Girls:
That there's a laddie weary, an' wanderin' free
who's waitin' for his dearie
Fiona:
Me!

1968 - Se C'è L'amore (by Patty Pravo)
1968 - Du Var En Drøm (by Johnny Reimar)
I can hear the guitars start to play
And very soon they say
I was a fool to turn my love away
And with each glass of wine I feel a glow
And very soon I know
I was a fool to let my baby go
So let the heartaches begin
I can't help it, I can't win
I've lost that girl for sure
Tears won't help anymore
Yes let the heartaches begin
I can't help it, I can't win
I've lost that girl for sure
Now she's gone
I can't hold back the tears anymore
I can see the couples dancin' through the night
They hold each other tight
As they dance in love till the morning light
The soft embraces that they seem to share
Just make me feel aware
Of the lonliness I find so hard to bear
So let the heartaches begin
I can't help it, I can't win
I've lost that girl for sure
My tears won't help anymore
Yes let the heartaches, heartaches begin
I just can't help it,you know that I just can't win
I've lost that girl for sure
And now that she's gone
I can't hold back the tears anymore

Se C'è L'amore
Se C'è L'amore
((Adapted from: Let The Heartaches Begin (by Long John Baldry) - 1967))

Composer(s): Tony Macaulay - John Macleod - Franco Migliacci
Performer(s): Patty Pravo - 1968
Anche il tempo inesorabile
rallenta il battito
quando l'amore mi fa piangere
e il vento di una sera tiepida
diventa gelido
quando l'amore mi fa piangere
Perché se c'è l'amore
c'è una lacrima di più
io non so vivere senza te... non so
ma quando c'è l'amore
c'è una mano che ti può
accarezzare e poi stringere
forte forte il cuor... questo cuor
Non credo a quelli che si lasciano
e che non piangono
vuol dire che non si amavano
se senza te non era vivere
potrei morire se
sapessi che c'è un'altra accanto a te
Perché se c'è l'amore
c'è una lacrima di più
io non so vivere senza te... non so
ma quando c'è l'amore
c'è una mano che ti può
accarezzare e poi stringere
forte forte il cuor... questo cuor

Performer(s): Dick Beavers
Chorus:
Once in the Highlands, the Highlands of Scotland
Deep in the night on a murky brae
There in the Highlands, the Highlands of Scotland

And this is what happened
The strange thing that happened

To two weary hunters who lost their way
Chorus:
Brigadoon, Brigadoon
Blooming under sable skies
Brigadoon, Brigadoon
There my heart forever lies
Let the world grow cold around us
Let the heavens cry above!
Brigadoon, Brigadoon
In thy valley, there'll be love!

Brief Candles
Brief Candles
Composer(s): Chris White
Performer(s): The Zombies; The Posies
There she sits her hands are held
Tight around her glass
She only needs to be alone
She knows this mood will pass
To realize that she was strong
And he too weak to stay
And to realize that she is better off this way
Brief candles in her mind
Bright and tiny gems of memory
Brief candles burn so fine
Leaves a light inside where she can see
What makes it all worthwhile
Her sadness makes her smile...
His alone girl fades away
Left out on a limb
Finds he needs her more because
She's no more need for him
He understood so very well
The things she had to say
Soon he'll understand that he is better off this way
Brief candles in his mind
Bright and tiny gems of memory
Brief candles burn so fine
Leaves a light inside where he can see
What makes it all worthwhile
His sadness makes him smile...
In the corner see his face
The man just sips his drink
Not one feeling does he show
Far too numb to think
He does not say a single word
No word of love to say
Maybe he will soon believe he's better off this way...
Brief candles in his mind
Bright and tiny gems of memory
Brief candles burn so fine
Leaves a light inside where he can see
What makes it all worthwhile
His sadness makes him smile...

Bridget O'Malley
Bridget O'Malley
(Traditional)
Oh Bridget O'Malley, you've left my heart shaken
With a hopeless desolation I'd have you to know
It's the wonders of admiration your quiet face has taken
And your beauty will haunt me wherever I go
The white moon above the pale sands, the pale stars above the thorn tree
Are cold beside my darling, but no purer than she
I gaze upon the cold moon till the stars drown in the warm seas
And the bright eyes of my darling are never on me
My Sunday it is weary, my Sunday it is grey now
My heart is a cold thing, my heart is a stone
All joy is dead within me, my life has gone away now
For another has taken My love for his own
The day is approaching when we were to be married
And it's rather I would die than live only to grieve
Oh, meet me, My Darling, e'er the sun sets o'er the barley
And I'll meet you there on the road to Drumslieve
Oh Bridget O'Malley, you have my heart shaken
With a hopeless desolation, I'd have you to know
It's the wonders of admiration your quiet face has taken
And your beauty will haunt me wherever I go

Bridget Flynn
Bridget Flynn
Composer(s): Will Millar
Performer(s): The Irish Rovers
I've a nice little house and a cow or two with grass
I've a plant garden running by my door
I've a shelter for the hens and a stable for the ass
Now what could a man want more?
I don't know, maybe so
But a bachelor's life is easy and it's free
I'm the last to complain, but I'm living all alone
Sure nobody's looking after me
Me father often tells me I should go and have a try
To find a girl that owns a bit of land
And I know the way he says it, there is someone on his mind
And my mother has the whole thing planned
I don't know, maybe so
It would mollify them so to agree
Now there's little Bridget Flynn, sure its her I'd like to win
But she never has an eye for me
Now there's a little girl who is worth her weight in gold
And that's a decent dowry, don't you see
And I mean to go and ask her just as soon as I get home
If she'll come and have an eye for me
Will she go, I don't know
But I'd love to have her sitting on my knee
And I'd sing like a thrush in the hawthorn bush
If she'd come and have an eye for me

Let The Feeling Flow
Let The Feeling Flow
Composer(s): Peabo Bryson
Performer(s): Peabo Bryson; Kelli Sae; Matt Jordan
Falling in love, it was easy at the start
I thought I had it in my hands
Something went wrong, somewhere we lost a part
It was more than we could stand, yeah
It was too late when I realized
That I couldn't see the forest for the trees
What was wrong with me
There comes a time in every life
Love will come your way
And if it should stay
You'd better hold on to it tight
And never let it go, not love
It's a shining star that's here to guide you
Every lover knows
You've got to hold on to the good inside you
Let the feeling flow
And I'm sure love will grow
Falling in love, was so easy at the start
I thought I had it here in my hands, here in my hands
Something went wrong, somewhere I lost a part
More than I could stand, yeah
It was too late when I realized
That I couldn't see the forest for the trees
Something's wrong with me (Here with me)
There comes a time in every life
Love will come your way
And if it should stay
You'd better hold on to it tight
And never let it go (Let the feeling flow), not love
It's a shining star that's here to guide you (Every lover)
Every lover knows
You've got to hold on (Hold on) to the feeling inside you (Feeling inside you)
Let the feeling flow
And I'm sure love will grow
Yeah, yeah
Let the feeling flow (Hold on)
Let it flow (Whoa...oh...oh...)
Let it flow (Yeah)
You've got, got to let (Feeling inside you)
Let it flow

Let The Boy Rock And Roll
Composer(s): John Sebastian
First release by: The Lovin' Spoonful - 1966
I heard Mama and Papa talkin' last night
And I heard Mama say to Papa: Let that boy rock and roll
The neighbor not complainin' and the schoolboy talked twice today
You know they think you're foolish, study or slippin' away
He don't think about nothin' 'cept the rock and roll records that
play
I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy rock and roll
He's got a mind of his own and you know he's got a musical soul
And he's gotta play music and you know we really can't say no
So Daddy, don't you worry 'bout this crazy man
Go on and do what you think you should
But Daddy, don't you call him Little Boy Bad
When you know he could be Johnny B Good
I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy sing his song
In his brand new boots, he needs a foot from a kick in the town
If his music is groovy, you know he really can't go wrong
So Daddy, don't you worry 'bout this crazy man
Go on and do what you think you should
But please don't call him Little Boy Bad
When you know he could be Johnny B Good
I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy rock and roll
He's got a mind of his own and you know he's got a musical soul
If the music is groovy, you know we really can't say no

Been a long time crossing Bridge of Sighs

Well, there once was a boy from the town of Napoli
Who sang a song so very soft and tenderly
He met a little girl with a flower in her hair
So he sang a song and now they're such a happy pair
Oh, let the bells keep ringing
Let 'em ring out with joy
Let 'em send send their love
Yes to every girl and boy
Oh, let the bells keep ringing
Let 'em ring out with joy
Let 'em send send out their happy love (happy love)
Well, this boy and girl took a walk one day
Down to the sands near a moonlit bay
They talked and they talked till there was lovelight in their eyes
Then they kissed until the morning sun did rise
Oh, let the bells keep ringing
Let 'em ring out with joy
Let 'em send their love
Yes to every girl and boy
Oh, let those bells keep ringing
Let 'em ring out with joy
Let 'em let 'em ring out with happy love (happy love)
Well, I've just told you yes the story of my life
And that little girl, oh yes, she is my loving wife
And our little house where we now stay
Sits in the middle of our little moonlit bay
Oh, let the bells keep ringing
Let 'em ring out with joy
Let 'em send their love
Yes to every girl and boy
Oh, let the bells keep ringing
