So Glad You're Here ©2021 Tom Mason
The stage is our world and we are here to play
And nothing compares to you at the end of a summer's day
If music be the food of love a feast is on the way
So summon up your appetite for a bountiful buffet
We'll purge the air of pestilence and one crazy year
It's so good to see you we're so glad you're here
Watch us while we strut and fret the frets of our guitars
We'll fill you with the words of Will underneath the stars
Put your hands together make a joyful sound
Open up your heart and mind let poetry abound
Regaling you with "What You Will" so lend us your ears
It's so good to see you we're so glad you're here
The stage is our world and we are here to play
And nothing compares to you at the end of a summer's day
If music be the food of love a feast is on the way
So summon up your appetite for a bountiful buffet
Shake off your suffering with William Shakespeare
It's so good to see you we're so glad you're here

Nothing But Love © 2021 Tom Mason & Jack Kingsley
My love is as deep as the ocean blue
It's stronger the longer that I love you
What's on my mind? Nothing but Love
There's such passion in your tender frame
My blood rushes when I hear your name
What's in my heart, nothing but love
Nothing but love could make me wait until eternity
If that's when you'll love me eternally
You turn my thoughts into melodies
The vision of you brings a song to me
What's in my soul, nothing but love

O Mistress Mine
03:01
|

O mistress mine, where are you roaming
O stay and hear! your true love's coming
That can sing both high and low
Trip no further, pretty sweeting
Journey's end in lovers meeting
Every wise man's son doth know **
What is love? tis not hereafter
Present mirth hath present laughter
What's to come is still unsure
In delay there lies no plenty
Come and kiss me, sweet and twenty
Youth's a stuff will not endure '

Farewell Dear Heart
03:46
|
|||
FAREWELL, dear heart; I must needs be gone,
Mine eyes do show, my life is almost done.
But I will never die, as long as I can spy
My lover here at every rising sun
Farewell, dear heart; since this I find is true,
I cannot spend more time in wooing you:
I will seek elsewhere, and if I find love there,
I will not ache from bidding you adieu
Shall I bid you go
What and if I do
I'm still in love with you
Farewell Dear Heart
Ten thousand times farewell;-- no, stay a while:--
Kiss me once; sweet kisses time beguile:
If I bid you to stay and still you walk away
You'll see me crying like a little child
Shall I bid you go
What and if I do
I'm still in love with you
Farewell Dear Heart

Come Away Death
03:30
|
|||
Come away, come away death,
And in sad cypress let me be laid.
Fie away, fie away breath,
I am slain by a fair cruel maid:
My shroud of white, stuck all with yew,
O prepare it.
My part of death no one so true
Did share it.
Come away, come away death,
Not a flower, not a flower sweet,
On my black coffin let there be strewn:
Not a friend, not a friend greet
My poor corpse, where my bones shall be thrown:
A thousand thousand sighs to save, 50
Lay me, O where
Sad true lover never find my grave,
To weep there.
Come away, come away death,

Hey Robin
Hey Robin, Jolly Robin, Tell me how thy lady do
Hey Robin Jolly Robin did your lady leave you blue
Hey Robin, Jolly Robin what happened to your happiness
Hey Robin, was there another robin bobbin in your nest
You can fly fly fly fly away
Hey Robin, Jolly Robin, what became of your sweet song
Hey Robin, Jolly Robin, did your lady do you wrong
Hey Robin, Jolly Robin, where is that melody
Hey Robin, Jolly Robin, you sang from atop the tree

The Wind and the Rain
04:07

When that I was and a little tiny boy,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
A foolish thing was but a toy,
For the rain it raineth every day
.
But when I came to man’s estate,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
’Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate,
For the rain it raineth every day.
But when I came, alas, to wive,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
By swaggering could I never thrive,
For the rain it raineth every day.
But when I came unto my beds,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
With toss–pots still ’had drunken heads,
For the rain it raineth every day.
A great while ago the world begun,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
But that’s all one, our play is done,
And we’ll strive to please you every day.
