Oh my! Burt Freeman Bacharach ROCKZ!!!
Love this medley, especially when Burt personally sang one of my favourite song - Alfie, it was very touching, and kinda romantic, to listen to the original song writer cum composer of the song, singing his own masterpiece, live! How I wish I have a chance to sit in the live performance by Burt. Please, come to Asia! Or, be at London when I am there... next year? God's willing!
A House Is Not A Home was done greatly in this show too, with Burt started off the singing, then followed by him conducting the orchestral band, and the backup vocals continue the song... it was beautifully done... give me a total of goosebumps!
Wives and lovers... a good lesson for the wives actually, I love the lyrics, even as you are the wife now, be a lover as well... So, your man won't be looking for a lover elsewhere. Words of wisdom! And Burt is a Jews. Wow! God's chosen one! How blessed! I hope he is saved and know Jesus by now. :)
Wives and Lovers
Hey, little girl,
Comb your hair, fix your make-up.
Soon he will open the door.
Don't think because
There's a ring on your finger,
You needn't try any more
For wives should always be lovers, too.
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you.
I'm warning you.
Day after day,
There are girls at the office,
And men will always be men.
Don't send him off
With your hair still in curlers.
You may not see him again.
For wives should always be lovers, too.
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you.
He's almost here.
Hey, little girl
Better wear something pretty,
Something you'd wear to go to the city.
And dim all the lights,
Pour the wine, start the music.
Time to get ready for love.
Dim all the lights,
Pour the wine, start the music.
Time to get ready for love.
Time to get ready, time to get ready for love.
Time to get ready, time to get ready for love.
Alfie
What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
Then I guess it is wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
What will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
Something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.
A House Is Not A Home
A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sitting there
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight,
And no one there you can kiss good night.
A room is still a room
Even when there's nothing there but gloom;
But a room is not a house,
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart.
Now and then I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends it ends in tears.
Darling, have a heart,
Don't let one mistake keep us apart.
I'm not meant to live alone. turn this house into a home.
When I climb the stair and turn the key,
Oh, please be there still in love with me.
