for my skylight family.
TAKE CARE OF THIS HOUSE
From the musical "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue"
(Alan Jay Lerner / Leonard Bernstein)
(Here in this shell of a house
This house that is struggling to be
Falling through the hall
Coming straight through the wall
Is hope staring down at me
But there's nothing you can see
Sadness will flow down a cheek
Courage stand out like a tree
Joy, joy is as bright
As a comet in flight
But hope isn't easy to see.)
Take care of this house
Keep it from harm
If bandits break in sound the alarm
Care for this house
Shine it by hand
And keep it so clean
The glow can be seen all over the land
Be careful at night
Check all the doors
If someone makes off with a dream
The dream will be yours
Take care of this house
Be always on call
For this house is the home of us all
Be careful at night
Check all the doors
If someone makes off with a dream
The dream will be yours
Take care of this house
Be always on call
For this house its the home of us all
tuesday is a joke / played on those not quite prepared / the same game again
nice.
ReplyDeleteThis piece was sung at the opening of the new Cabot Theatre by Wendy Hill, beautifully btw. The ceremony was broadcast on Ch 10 - wonder if we could ever see that again. It was a very touching event and this music made it all the more special. Thx Tony.
ReplyDeletei was part of that ceremony.
