FOREVER AGAIN - Bruce William Davies
I don’t know how it happened
Don’t know where we went wrong
Didn’t know that I could feel this
After loving for so long
You said “Nothing lasts forever”
Were you making plans to leave?
I can’t straighten out my feelings
I don’t know what I believe
But…
I need to believe in forever again
I need to know hope like we had way back when
I need to believe in forever again
Or I’ll lose my best friend
We started out so hopeful
The world was ours to share
We helped each other live again
We loved without a care
At first we grew together
But lost something on the way
Lone paths and new directions
Should I go or can I stay
For…
I need to believe in forever again
I need to know hope like we had way back when
I need to believe in forever again
Or I’ll lose my best friend
I don’t wanna go
Don’t know if I can stay
Don’t wanna believe
It could turn out this way
But…
I need to believe in forever again
I need to know hope like we had way back when
I need to believe in forever again
Or I’ll lose my best friend
Don’t wanna lose my best friend

WHEN I HEAR YOUR NAME - Bruce William Davies
She says, “Will you sign this album?”
And I ask her what’s her name.
I hear your name from her lips
But it doesn’t sound the same.
My mind begins to wander
To places far away
Where we walked and where we talked
And I wish we were today.
Then she asks me how I’m doin’,
I say, “Life is goin’ well,
And where this life will lead
No one can really tell.”
She says, “Thanks for being here tonight
Your music fills my dreams”
But sometimes somethin’ happens
And somehow it just seems…
That it’s always the same
When I hear your name
I’m with you
‘Though you’re half a world away
Like a moth to a flame
When I hear your name
I’m drawn to you
In such a special way
Without you I’m half, I’m not whole
Like a body without any soul
It’s always the same
When I hear your name.
Departure lounge is filling
An announcement fills the air
I hear your name again
But I know that you’re not there
I wonder, “Do you miss me
The way that I miss you?
And when you hear my name,
Do your thoughts wander, too?”
That it’s always the same
When I hear your name
I’m with you
‘Though you’re half a world away
Like a moth to a flame
When I hear your name
I’m drawn to you
In such a special way
Without you I’m half, I’m not whole
Like a body without any soul
(That it’s always the same
When I hear your name
I’m with you
‘Though you’re half a world away
Like a moth to a flame
When I hear your name
I’m drawn to you
In such a special way)
Without you I’m half, I’m not whole
Like a body without any soul
It’s always the same
When I hear your name.
It’s always the same…

On My Way To You

ON MY WAY TO YOU - Bruce William Davies
I could be driftin’ over deserts, soaring over seas
High above the highlands, anywhere I please
Racin’ with the sunrise, ‘way up above the blue
Anywhere I’m flyin’, I’m on my way to you
I could be driving on a highway or down a country lane
Motorway or Interstate, I’m on the road again
Feedin’ all my senses on a tree-lined avenue
Wherever I am drivin’, I’m on my way to you
They say, “Home is where the heart is”,
“Wherever I lay my Hat”
Home to me is anywhere
Anywhere you’re at
I could be walkin’ in a woodland or struttin’ down a street
Hikin’ on the high road with a smile at folk I meet
Strollin’ along, takin’ in the view
Wherever I am walkin’, I’m on my way to you
They say, “Home is where the heart is”,
“Wherever I lay my Hat”
Home to me is anywhere
Anywhere you’re at

THE SCHOOL NATIVITY PLAY - Gill Bowman & Pupils of Bellyeoman School, Dunfermline, Fife
A wise man opened the curtain too soon
The star in the east fell down with a boom
The Innkeeper said “There’s plenty of room”
Oh, it all went wrong on the day
A mouse ran out of the manger straw
Mary screamed and ran for the door
Dropped baby Jesus on the floor
In the School Nativity Play
The donkey sneezed and the stable fell down
One of the three Kings broke his crown
Primary Two were the talk of the town
At the School Nativity Play
Joseph’s wee brother was violently sick
He nearly choked on his lolly stick
So I held out Mum’s handbag quick
Oh it all went wrong on the day
A shepherd made a dash for the loo
The rickety platform split in two
It was just a stage we were going through
In the School Nativity Play
The donkey sneezed and the stable fell down
One of the three Kings broke his crown
Primary Two were the talk of the town
At the School Nativity Play
“Fear not” the teacher cried as the fire bell started ringing
Ding-dong merrily on high soon drowned out the Carol singing
A spotlight fell and I got the blame
But Gabriel’s wings made a pretty blue flame
And we all went home when the firemen came
To the School Nativity Play
The donkey sneezed and the stable fell down
One of the three Kings broke his crown
Primary Two were the talk of the town
At the School Nativity Play
Primary Two were the talk of the town
At the School Nativity Play

FLYING COLOURS - Bruce William Davies
Born into a world
Uncertain but at peace
Born with a spirit
Hungry for release
Not what you’d call a rebel
But she wanted wings to fly
The times they were a-changin’
She was reaching for the sky
She didn’t know the answer
So she had to question, why?
She wanted to make love not war
She didn’t want to die
She believed that song could change the world
She had to play her part
“We Shall Overcome”
Was the first she learned by heart
She was passing
With flying colours
With her old guitar
And flowers in her hair
She was passing
With flying colours
Passing colour
Everywhere
She learned from what she saw
She learned from the past
She learned from her children
And the truths she knew would last
She marched and she petitioned
With no hatred in her heart
Watched as walls came tumbling down
And knew she’d played her part
She was passing
With flying colours
To build a world where people love
And nations care
She was passing
With flying colours
Passing colour
Everywhere
Her friends all thought it so unfair
When the doctor broke the news
After all that she had fought for
This battle she would lose
But with courage and with dignity
Her back against the wall
Her smile told us, “Carry It On”
She still inspires us all
Now she’s passing
With flying colours
As her spirit soars
And fills the air
Now she’s passing
With flying colours
Passing colour
Everywhere
Yes she’s passing
With flying colours
Passing colour
Everywhere

WILL YOU TAKE ME BACK AGAIN…SOMEDAY - Sandra Davies
Will you take me back again…someday?
Will you take me take me back again so we can play
Where the years fall from our shoulders
Where the sun will always shine
Will you take me back again…someday
Seems forever and a day since last I saw you
When really it was only yesterday
We laughed with childlike fun
Dancing in the summer sun
Saying more than words could ever say
Will you take me back again…someday?
Will you take me take me back again so we can play
Where the years fall from our shoulders
Where the sun will always shine
Will you take me back again…someday
Remember when we searched for hidden meaning
In a song you swore was written just for me
I believed it to be true
I was so in love with you
Now it’s just a fading memory
Will you take me back again…someday?
Will you take me take me back again so we can play
Where the years fall from our shoulders
Where the sun will always shine
Will you take me back again…someday
Do you think we can begin a new tomorrow?
As we drift along in dreams of yesterday
Hold my hand and say hello
Yes we’ll take it nice and slow
Kiss me in your soft and gentle way
Will you take me back again…someday?
Will you take me take me back again so we can play
Where the years fall from our shoulders
Where the sun will always shine
Will you take me back again
Will you take me back again
Will you take me back again…

CLIMB YOUR MOUNTAIN - Bruce William Davies
Climb your mountain
Reach for the other side
You can find your own way
With love and truth your guide
A mountain stands before us
And it’s getting in the way
Of a place we’d like to get to
A place we’d like to stay
We can choose to face the journey
Or stay right where we are
Is standing still an option
When you know we’ve come so far
It’s not an easy road to travel
We should have known it from the start
But reason takes a back seat
When you’re following your heart
Let love be your reason
For love is truth and light
Step out on the journey
Take the darkness from your night
Climb your mountain
Reach for the other side
You can find your own way
With love and truth your guide
Sometimes we feel like quitting
Looking for an easy ride
Give in to the mountain
Forget the other side
But we’ll never taste sweet victory
Or know all we can do
Unless we face up to the mountain
As it faces me and you
Climb your mountain
Reach for the other side
You can find your own way
With love and truth your guide
Climb your mountain
Reach for the other side
You can find your own way
With love and truth your guide

MARGARITA - Harvey Andrews
They're playing our song, Margarita; dance it this last time with me
It won't be long, Margarita; soon I'll be overseas
Let me know that you'll care when I've gone over there
They're playing our song, Margarita; dance it this last time with me
Kiss me again, Margarita, give me a memory of you
They say in France, Margarita, one more push, we'll be through
Yes I'll write, but where from? All they'll say is the Somme
So kiss me again, Margarita, give me a memory of you
It's a new world, Margarita, we'll build, when it's through
In that new world, Margarita, we'll be wed, me and you
My old great-aunt Margarita, she'd been blind thirty years
Would tell me of young Margarita, of her man and her tears
She would say, He was tall, there's his picture on the wall
My old great-aunt Margarita, she'd been blind thirty years
She would ask, “Is he smiling?” I would stare at the frame
But the sun was there shining through her window again
Where that sun always shone he had faded and gone
But she would ask, “Is he smiling?” I would say, “He's the same”
It's a new world, Margarita, we'll build, when it's through
In that new world, Margarita, we'll be wed, me and you
They're playing our song, Margarita; dance it this last time with me
It won't be long, Margarita; soon I'll be overseas
Let me know that you'll care when I've gone over there
They're playing our song, Margarita; dance it this last time with me
