Song from The Music Man

Lida Rose / Will I Ever Tell You
Medley; Words & Music: Meredith Willson; arr. Mo Rector, Nancy Bergman

So here is my love song,
Not fancy or fine.
Lida Rose, oh, won’t you be mine, be mine?

(Chorus 1)
Lida Rose, I’m home again, Rose, To get the sun back in the sky. Lida Rose, I’m home again, Rose, About a thousand kisses shy.
Ding, dong, ding!
I can hear the chap-el bell chime.
Ding, dong, ding!
At the least suggestion I’ll pop the question.
Lida Rose, I’m home again, Rose, Without a sweetheart to my name. Lida Rose, now ev’ry one knows That I am hoping you’re the same.
So here is my love song,
Not fancy or fine.
Lida Rose, oh, won’t you be mine? Lida Rose, oh, Lida Rose...

(Chorus 2 – Women)
Dream of now, dream of then. Dream of a love song
That might have been.
Do I love you?
Oh, yes, I love you.
And I’ll bravely tell you,
But only when we dream again. Sweet and low, sweet and low, How sweet the mem’ry,
How long ago. Forever,
Oh, yes, forever.
Will I ever tell you?
Ah, no.

MEN:
Lida Rose, oh, Lida Rose, oh,

(Chorus 3)
(Women sing on, Chorus 2 lyrics beginning: “Dream...” - Men enter after a quarter rest.) (Chorus 1 lyrics)
Lida Rose, I’m home again, Rose, To get the sun back in the sky. Lida Rose, I’m home again, Rose, About a thousand kisses shy.
Ding, dong, ding!
I can hear the chap-el bell chime.
Ding, dong, ding!
At the least suggestion I’ll pop the question.
Lida Rose, I’m home again, Rose, Without a sweetheart to my name. Lida Rose, now ev’ry one knows That I am hoping you’re the same.
So here is my love song,
Not fancy or fine.
Lida Rose, oh, won’t you be mine?
Lida Rose, oh, Lida Rose, oh, Lida Ro
