Lyrics

“For Leah” (A. Woodley)

Shenandoah means daughter of the stars Leah
Heaven knows exactly where we are Leah
Bushflowers open up their eyes
As you pass by

On the Waterfront Gone with the Wind Leah
Moon River African Queen Leah
Well did you evah
Well I nevah

And we’ll walk through the garden once again
With the blossom high
And the hills are singing
for Leah
and the hills are singing
Leah

You can’t keep a good heart down
You can’t keep a good heart down
And she say
One day
At a time
One day
At a time
One day
at a time

Leah the Angels are playing on the radio
Take me away to Marseilles
Remember the night we all danced in to the light
Such a perfect day
And if you leave we’ll all come too
Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
Walking on the moon
What are we gonna do
Without you

One day
At a time
One day
At a time
One day
At a time

And the bushflowers
Wild and free
Lift their eyes to eternity
And they make a pretty dress
For Leah

And the hills roll endlessly
Sandstone ships on a wine dark sea
Waterfalls make a necklace
For Leah

Thank you for the joy you brought to our world
So human and divine
One by one a million stars fill your eyes
And they’re cryin’
And they shine
For Leah
For ever
For Leah

For Leah
For ever
For Leah

When you open up your eyes
You’ll be in paradise
When you open up your eyes
You’ll be in paradise

And if paradise
Is only half as nice
As the home that you made here
There’ll be work to do
And things to see to
Before we all get there
There’ll be apple trees
And ducks and geese
And olives on the hill
And we’ll walk through the garden once again
And these days will never end
And the hills are singing

For Leah
Forever
For Leah

For Leah
Forever
For Leah

And the bushflowers close their eyes
And wait for the new sunrise
And dream a starry dream
For Leah
For ever
For Leah
