Where If

"Where if your enemy fights with intensity he will survive.
But if not, he will perish. It is called 'Fatal Terrain.'
On fatal terrain, always engage in battle."
--Sun-tzu 'THE ART OF WAR'
Enjoy the beginning of summer in another week or so, folks. I'll be away for a spell.

from 'The Music Man' (1962)
Oscar for Best Music

There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No I never heard them at all
Till there was you

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No I never saw them at all
Till there was you

And there was music
And there were wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet
Fragrant meadows of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

[Intrumental Bridge]

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

I'm Movin' On (1950)

Hank Snow (Vocal)
& His Rainbow Ranch Boys (Country Band)

That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland, we're comin' to you
When we're movin' on, oh hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I've set you free
And I'm movin' on

[Fiddle Bridge]

Mister fireman won't you please listen to me
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
And keep movin' me on

Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on

[Guitar Bridge]

I've told you baby, from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You've broken your vow, and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on

You've switched your engine now I ain't got time
For a triflin' woman on my main line
Cause I'm movin on, you done your daddy wrong
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
'Cause I'm movin' on

But someday baby when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
Keep movin' on

Love Is a Many-Spendored Thing (Fain & Webster)

Love is a many-splendored thing
It's the April rose
That only grows in the early spring
Love is nature's way of giving
A reason to be living...
