"I Remember"
I remember sky
It was blue as ink
Or at least I think
I remember sky.
I remember snow
Soft as feathers
Sharp as thumb tacks
Coming down like lint
And it made you squint
When the wind would blow.
I remember leaves
Green as spearmint
Crisp as paper.
I remember trees
Bare as coat racks
Spread like broken umbrellas.
I remember days,
Or at least I try.
But as years go by
They're sort of haze,
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky.
"Mr. Monotony"
Mr. Monotony,
Is that you?
Hey, Mr. Monotony ...?

"Lud's Wedding"
Lud:
I love my wife and I love her more
Than the way I used to love her before
She became my wife, but today she is
So don't call me early 'cause I'll be busy,
Beside her waiting for her to wake
And her eyes to open like dawn is breaking
The whole world over for me today,
'Cause I can't believe that I heard her say
She would honour, love and obey 'til death do us
Pardon me if I catch my breath.
When I knew my wife was the wife for me
We went out and sat by the willow tree,
And I begged and pleaded, uh huh,
Marry me, honey, and that is what she did.
[Chorus:]
Begged and pleaded, uh huh
Marry me, honey,
And that is what she did.
[Chorus:]
Begged and pleaded, uh huh
Marry me, honey,
And that is what she did.
[Chorus:]
Begged and pleaded, uh huh
Marry me, honey,
And that is what we did.
"Three-Cornered Tune"
[Italian original:]
[English translation:]
Oh! My dream!
Oh! My life!
"Half A Moment"
Half a moment
We are together
I shall want no-one else
And nothing new.
Half a moment
I shall treasure,
Keep it locked away
For some future rainy day.
Half a moment
I shall treasure,
Keep it locked away
For some future rainy day.
We're together,
What else can matter?
Even though
Half a moment is too few
I shall save it
'Til I have another
Making one whole moment
Filled with you.
