VIP have been camping outside my house keep having to chase them hopefully you can get a few words with them and maybe they might go.
Now only if they sing these songs will I tune in, otherwise.....!!!
Morning Has Spoken
Morning has broken, like the first morning Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird Praise for the singing, praise for the morning Praise for the springing fresh from the word
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven Like the first dewfall, on the first grass Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning Born of the one light, Eden saw play Praise with elation, praise every morning God's recreation of the new day ............................................................Class!!
and
The Lark in the Clear Air
Dear thoughts are in my mind And my soul soars enchanted, As I hear the sweet lark sing In the clear air of the day. For a tender beaming smile To my hope has been granted, And tomorrow she shall hear All my fond heart would say.
I shall tell her all my love, All my soul's adoration, And I think she will hear And will not say me nay. It is this that gives my soul All its joyous elation, As I hear the sweet lark sing In the clear air of the day .....................................Childhood memories of that tune when getting up for school on a radio programme in the mornings!....Bliss!!
Both these songs can be found on YouTube being sung by Irelands most beautiful woman!...........Cara Dillon! (along with other Snuffy favs such as 'The Streets of Derry' sang with fellow Derryonian/Derryer/Derrywegian the great Paul Brady!).
