July 13, 200817 yr I think it is: How can we reach the light In darkness where we live How can we make a future Be a gift we want to give Can blessings not be shared Will that day ever come(?) When freedom reaches every life Not just the lives of some What should we all ......... Though it must not return It was/bore the chains that held us down and so we all must learn To make a better world Whoever may have sinned The ...... caused the past is Gone, Gone, Gone, Gone with the wind
July 13, 200817 yr How about this photo for Gone With the Wind Reprise http://www.dariusworld.org.uk/images/last.jpg
July 13, 200817 yr Gone With the Wind Reprise...not finished yet http://www.dariusworld.org.uk/images/last.jpg The life I used to know has gone And gone beyond recall But how the flames were fanned I really do not understand at all But what I learned from this I learned the hardest way Is that Tomorrow is another day How can we reach the light In darkness where we live How can we make a future Be a gift we want to give Can blessings not be shared Will that day ever come(?) When freedom reaches every life Not just the lives of some What should we all ......... Though it must not return It was/bore the chains that held us down and so we all must learn To make a better world Whoever may have sinned The ...... caused the past is Gone, Gone, Gone, Gone with the wind
July 15, 200817 yr Author Pam, may I suggest that you alter the phrasing in the Bonnie Blue song. i.e.- Once upon a time An angel came to Georgia Instead of.....Once upon a time an angel Came to Georgia.
July 18, 200817 yr I've added the finished ones to the first post in the thread Thanks, spamfritter. Looking great. It's much appreciated. I'll try to help a bit tomorrow/today (Friday).
July 18, 200817 yr Can this be all? Is this the end? I can't believe I'll never see your face again Or hear your voice call my name low Can this be all the life we'll know? The children now Will never know, Their fathers guiding hand To help them as they grow. Can I raise them on my own? How could you leave us all alone? I pray to God this war will cease. No more must die in war but live their lives in peace. The end we seek The cause we share the cost is more Than I can bear. Can this be all? The boy I knew, the child I I loved so well is gone How fast you grew. To them the war seemed like a game Our lives, will never be the same. This war must end Dear God I pray/This war must end no one should ..../This war must end '''''''''''''''''/This war must end To end dispute Lord hear me pray , Can we not find, Can we not find, a better way? The lines seperated with a / were sung together but I can't remember some of them. I found this song so sad from the first time I heard it - on the last night it still brough a tear.

July 18, 200817 yr It was very moving - beautifully sung and beautifully staged too - understated to match the solemnity of the scene and all the more powerful for that.
July 19, 200817 yr You're right. The intimate feel in the theatre made everyone in the audience feel so close. You could feel the impact of that song - the agony of loss and of those left behind..
July 19, 200817 yr Can you remember which characters sang the verses? I know that "the boy I knew" one referred to D'arcy Meade but I'm not sure about the others.
July 19, 200817 yr I can't. The characters weren't all in view each time and I couldn't catch who sang what - apart from Mrs Meade for that bit and Mrd Elsing/Ellen for the War was just a game/life never the same
July 19, 200817 yr I think the line 'The children now/will never know was the girl who played Maybelle Merryweather.
