Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
For I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves

Your vows you’ve broken, like my heart
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves

I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever you would crave
I have both wagered life and land
Your love and good-will for to have
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves

If you intend thus to disdain
It does the more enrapture me
And even so, I still remain
A lover in captivity
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves

My men were clothed all in green
And they did ever wait on thee
All this was gallant to be seen
And yet thou wouldst not love me
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves

Thou couldst desire no earthly thing
but still thou hadst it readily
Thy music still to play and sing
And yet thou wouldst not love me
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves

Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu
To God I pray to prosper thee
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves

“…..Little darlin’, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darlin’, it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s alright……
Little darlin’, the smile’s returning to their faces
Little darlin’, it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s alright….”

Bette Midler Lyrics
Lyrics Source:
https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bettemidler/windbeneathmywings.html

Oh, oh, oh, oh
It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine, that’s your way
You always walked a step behind
So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
A beautiful face without a name for so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain
Did you ever know that you’re my hero?
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I’ve got it all here in my heart
I want you to know, I know the truth, of course I know it
I would be nothing without you

Did you ever know that you’re my hero?
You’re everything I wish I could be
I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
Did I ever tell you, you’re my hero?
You’re everything, everything I wish I could be
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
‘Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
Oh, the wind beneath my wings
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings
Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
Fly, fly, so high against the sky
So high I almost touch the sky
Thank you, thank you
Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings

Written by English songwriter Sydney Carter in 1963. The melody is from the American Shaker song “Simple Gifts” composed in 1949. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_the_Dance_(hymn)

Lyrics Source: https://divinehymns.org/lyrics/lord-of-the-dance-song-lyrics
I Danced In The Morning When The World Was Begun,
And I Danced In The Moon And The Stars And The Sun,
And I Came Down From Heaven And I Danced On The Earth,
At Bethlehem I Had My Birth.
Dance, Then, Wherever You May Be;
I Am The Lord Of The Dance, Said He.
And I’ll Lead You All Wherever You May Be,
And I’ll Lead You All In The Dance, Said He.

I Danced For The Scribe And The Pharisee,
But They Would Not Dance And They Would Not Follow Me;
I Danced For The Fishermen, For James And John;
They Came To Me And The Dance Went On.
Dance, Then, Wherever You May Be;
I Am The Lord Of The Dance, Said He.
And I’ll Lead You All Wherever You May Be,
And I’ll Lead You All In The Dance, Said He.

I Danced On The Sabbath When I Cured The Lame,
The Holy People Said It Was A Shame;
They Whipped And They Stripped And They Hung Me High;
And They Left Me There On A Cross To Die.
Dance, Then, Wherever You May Be;
I Am The Lord Of The Dance, Said He.
And I’ll Lead You All Wherever You May Be,
And I’ll Lead You All In The Dance, Said He.

I Danced On A Friday And The Sky Turned Black;
It’s Hard To Dance With The Devil On Your Back;
They Buried My Body And They Thought I’d Gone,
But I Am The Dance And I Still Go On.
Dance, Then, Wherever You May Be;
I Am The Lord Of The Dance, Said He.
And I’ll Lead You All Wherever You May Be,
And I’ll Lead You All In The Dance, Said He.

They Cut Me Down And I Leapt Up High,
I Am The Life That’ll Never, Never Die;
I’ll Live In You If You’ll Live In Me;
I Am The Lord Of The Dance, Said He
Dance, Then, Wherever You May Be;
I Am The Lord Of The Dance, Said He.
And I’ll Lead You All Wherever You May Be,
And I’ll Lead You All In The Dance, Said He.
