Venitia Sekema: Tunes

I think the power of music is that which can move mountains. It can bring a person back to a time of the greatest happiness, invoke a memory, the smell of perfume or a special touch. This song is in honor of lifelong love and music's ability to make a moment feel like it is happening all over again.

Waltz for Lily

Another afternoon
at the corner coffee place
I sing for the workin' folks
caught up in the daily rat race
In walks this man I ‘ve seen
we've spoken but I don't know his name
comes everyday to hear just one song
to heal the pain only time can erase

He orders a cup of tea
Earl Gray and a lemon square
two lumps of sugar sweet
and a splash of cream, now prepared
He waits for me patiently
to ask if there's any requests
He smiles and says yes, if you please
sing the waltz for my Lily fair

CHORUS
LILY FAIR, LILY FAIR
WISH TO DANCE WITH MY LOVE MY DEAR
WITH MY LILY FAIR
GAZE IN HER EYES OF GREEN
SMELL HER AUBURN HAIR
WISH TO DANCE WITH MY LOVE MY DEAR
WITH MY LILY FAIR

LEAD MUSIC*

Then I see him close his eyes
a tear leaves barely a trace
as they dance under twinkling stars
left behind all time and space
He is dreaming of the day
when his love is right beside
and they'll dance for eternity
she'll be again in his warm embrace

LEAD MUSIC*

Until then, you can find him here
please sing the waltz for my Lily fair

LILY FAIR, LILY FAIR
AND HE‘LL DANCE WITH HIS LOVE HIS DEAR
WITH HIS LILY FAIR
HE'LL GAZE IN HER EYES OF GREEN
AND SMELL HER AUBURN HAIR
YES, HE'LL DANCE WITH HIS LOVE HIS DEAR
WITH HIS LILY FAIR
