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, 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; 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, 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

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.
