Sweet Dreams for Everyone
« on: October 15, 2006, 09:25:20 PM »
A "hum out" for Write, October, GS and everyone who needs it tonight.

"All Through the Night"

Sleep my child and peace attend thee,
All through the night
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber sleeping
I my loved ones' watch am keeping,
All through the night

Angels watching, e'er around thee,
All through the night
Midnight slumber close surround thee,
All through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber sleeping
I my loved ones' watch am keeping,
All through the night
"That'll do, pig, that'll do."

Thank You!

Struggling with tears/ exhaustion/ anxiety yet not wanting to sleep now!

Oh b*gger.

It's a funny old life isn't it.

I just had a rosemary scented bath and I put a nice new quilt on my bed, it is pretty in there.

My boy is fast asleep. I've sung that song to him before Hops, it sounds the nicest done in parts by a male voice choir...I can hear them sounding across the valleys, miners with voices like angels!

Think I'll go dream of my homeland.

When you wake up, if you have a CD of that tune to recommend...I'd love to hear that choir.

((((Write)))), sleep tight.

Hey Write,
Not to nag (lied Hopalong) but if you can recommend a recording of that male choir singing All Through the Night, I would buy it...

no rush though, really, just reminding myself to ask you...

Hope all's well with you, it's sunny and 80 degrees here...

The Welsh version is Ar Hyd y Nos, there's one here on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Voice-Wales/dp/B000000A8V with two of the most famous Male Voice Choirs.

I love the massed male voice choirs- there's something about a roomful of Welsh males singing their souls out that sets my heart racing  :)
