There’s a certain kind of smile
Buried way down in the back of my mind
There’s a wishing well where all lost dreams do dwell
I’ve the kind of heart that’s longing for longing
For love

There’s an aching anew
There’s weight in the beauty escaping out of view

Lines and letters, promising to never be untrue
Like a message in a bottle that will never ever get to you

Instead, unread it sails off into the blue

Written by - Josienne Clarke

They say these are the walls
They say and I believe
But my heart has long been longing
For the green, far beyond, the green

I heard a lark,
And I heard a nightingale
I can hear the tide tap upon the seashore

But these walls are made of worry
And each brick was built with their love
One by one



I’ve heard the wolves in the wood
But I’m only afraid of the dark
For I can’t unknow what I know now
Or deny it to my longing heart

I heard a lark
I heard a nightingale
And I can hear the tide crash upon the seashore

So I willed these walls to weaken
And all their worries came undone
One by one

Lyrics by Josienne Clarke

Who will buy this wonderful morning
Such a sky you never did see
Who will tie it up in ribbon
And put it in a box for me

Where I can keep it at my leisure
Whenever things go wrong
And I keep it as a treasure
To last my whole life long

Who will buy this wonderful feeling
I’m so high I swear I could fly
Me oh my I don’t want to lose it
But what am I to do to keep the sky so blue
There must be someone who will buy

Where I can keep it at my leisure
Whenever things go wrong
And I keep it as a treasure
To last my whole life long

Who will buy this wonderful morning
Such a sky you never did see
Me oh my I don’t want to lose it
So what am I to do
To keep the sky so blue
There must be someone
Who will buy

Written by Lionel Bart
From ‘Oliver’ based on the Charles Dickens’ ‘Oliver Twist’

Oh come do not delay my hearts dear treasure
Come where fond love is calling thee to pleasure
The moon is veiled no star in heaven is beaming
Though the sky is still dark and the world is dreaming

The flowing stream and zephyrs softly playing
Soothe the heart with sweet sighs with its pain allaying
Amid verdure fresh the smiling florets bending
To the raptures of love now all is tending

Come where ‘neath shadows the night in calm reposes
Come my dearest and I will wreath for the a crown roses
A crown of roses

Suzanna’s Aria ‘Deh Vienni Non Tardar’
From ‘Le Nozze De Figaro’
Written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Arranged - Downes/Clarke

Just like you
There’s so much to undo
If I had the day anew
The things I wouldn’t do

The words we wouldn’t say
Come the dimming of the day
So much to push away

So much to deny
Please don’t cry

It’s one tear for sorrow but more for joy
A river long and winding that nothing can destroy
The twist and turn
The ebb and flow
A gentle force
From what you don’t
To what you know
