About "The Dancing Years" (pdf file)
Act 1. "Waltz of my heart"
The lark is singing on high
The Sun's ashine in the blue
The Winter is driven away
And Spring is returning anew
Who cares what sorrow may bring
What storms may tear us apart
No sadness can kill the wonder and thrill
Of that waltz in my heart
Waltz of my heart haunting and gay
Calling enthrallingly, waltzing away
Ring out your bells for me, ivory keys
Weave out your spell for me, orchestra please
Chorus of wings, thrilling the sky
While you're inspiring me, time hurries by
Joy finds a fire in me, soon as you start
Sweeping your strings, waltz of my heart
The lark is singing on high
The Sun's ashine in the blue
The Winter is driven away
And Spring is returning anew
Who cares what sorrow may bring
What storms may tear us apart
No sadness can kill the wonder and thrill
Of that waltz in my heart
 Waltz of my heart - Karita Mattila
Act 1. "My life belongs to you"
When first we met I heard a voice within
“The scene is set, and here’s your heroine.”
I raised my eyes, my breath was taken by that sweet surprise.
Your heart was mine, by law divine.
My life belongs to you
My dreams, my song, all that I do.
No moon, no morning star can shine
No happiness is mine without you near me.
When years have passed into the shade
You’ll hear my last serenade.
For ever echoing anew
No matter where you go
Your listening heart will know
My life belongs to you.
My life belongs to you - Ronan Tynan
Act I. "I Can Give You the Starlight"
When I was young
My foolish fancies used to make a great mistake
But now a little love
A little living
Has changed my ways and taught me
And brought me
The joy of giving
I can give you the starlight
Love unchanging and true
I can give you the ocean
Deep and tender devotion
I can give you the mountains
Pools all shimmering and blue
Call and I shall be
All you ask of me
Music in spring
Flowers for a King
All these I bring to you
I can give you the starlight - Pamela Woolmore
ACT II. "My Dearest Dear"
My dearest dear,
If I could say to you
In words as clear
As when I play to you,
You'd understand
How slight the shadow that is holding us apart.
So take my hand,
I'll lead the way for you.
A little waiting and you'll reach my heart.
Your lonely hours will spread their wings and fly;
The passing show'rs will only pass you by.
If you can trust me, trust the secret in my song.
When love is true
The road is never long.
My dearest dear,
If I could say to you
In words as clear
As when I play to you,
You'd understand
How slight the shadow that is holding us apart.
So take my hand,
I'll lead the way for you.
A little waiting and you'll reach my heart.
My dearest dear - Marilyn Hill Smith
