To Welcome You
Music: Sir Harold Boulton, 2nd Baronet (1859–1935) · Words: Harold Boulton (1859–1935)
There are faces peeping out of all the
flow’rs, And the little buds are wakeful ev’ry
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:26) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
There are faces peeping out of all the
flow’rs, And the little buds are wakeful ev’ry
one, With their pretty lips that pout at chilly
show’rs, Their lips that pout at chilly
show’rs, Then open with a smile to kiss the
sun, to kiss the sun.
There are voices sweet and low amid the rushes
That the ripples of the river gently shake,
There’s a murm’ring among the alder bushes,
As the wind is wafted gently o’er the lake,
wafted gently o’er the lake, wafted gently
o’er the lake
Today I hear the voices full of singing,
The flower faces smile and whisper too,
The whole wide world with melody is ringing,
The whole wide world with melody is ringing,
And all, my heart of hearts, all to welcome
you, all all to welcome you.
