[Oe List ...] Pentecost Blessings

[Jean Long via OE]

jean long here -
The tune was the one sung by the Seekers, I think, to their song:

 There's a new world somewhere they call the promised land

- and I'll be there someday if you will hold my hand -

 I could search the whole world over until my life is thru,

but I know I'll never find another you.

chorus:
It's a long, long journey

so stay by my side

xxxxxxxx

xxxxxxx

2nd verse-

If they gave me a fortune my treasure would be small

I could lose it all tomorrow and never mind at all.

but if I should lose your love, dear, I don't know what I'd do

'cause I know there'll never be another you- ou ou ou ou -
another you.

...and for those of you who can remember the magic -- my reminder that when
we did the year of the Love Songs  we contexted them by a suggestion that
the "you" referred to might be replaced by "the mystery" -- and the songs
were transformed - for me at least.
