15 Aug 98 - 11:23 AM (#34923) Subject: Lyr Add: FAREWELL BUT WHENEVER YOU WELCOME THE From: Alice In response to Ian's thread on requests for parting songs, here are the lyrics. From listening to the recording of Mary O'Hara of Farewell But Whenever, these are the lyrics I memorized:
FAREWELL BUT WHENEVER YOU WELCOME THE HOUR
Farewell, but whenever you welcome the hour
And still on that evening when pleasure fills up,
Let fate do her worst, there are relics of joy,
Mary O'Hara does an exquisite job of this song. My personal favorite farewell song.... I think this may be in Allan C.'s wonderful thrift store discovery of the old Thomas Moore book of music. Are you reading this thread, Allan? Are these words correct? Alice in Montana |
