Bathsheba
We make our promises of love without a thought
That infidelity will ever touch our lives
And then the everyday procession
Ensures no certainty survives
And all too soon
We change our tune
We don't remember
For when in love
There's nothing I won't do
Since I've been close to you
To bring me closer still
I once believed
I never would betray
The man I used to love
And honor and obey
Will I do
Anything?
Yes, I will
You make a mockery of how I lived before
You are by far the purest love I've ever known
By far the best, most overwhelming
The die is cast the birds have flown
Defenses fall
You have it all
You've changed my life
For when in love
There's nothing I won't do
Since I've been close to you
To bring me closer still
I once believed
I never would betray
The man I used to love
And honor and obey
Will I do anything?
Yes, I will
I already have
There's nothing I won't do...
When In Love

Hello there, Amy is that you?
I stumbled on this blog and these lyrics are just lovely. I wonder what it would be like to watch it unfold on live stage!

Thank you so much for posting these lyrics. Is it possible for you to post lyrics to Bathseba's lament for her husband's death?

This is the only song I have with Bathsheba.

Page 324! It’s on the score! Uriah’s Fate Sealed Part 2.
Bathsheba
The news was half expected and I knew I should react
So ruth to tell I didn’t dwell Upon the tragic fact
They said he died a hero’s death So consolation there His childish wars his lifetime’s cause And all we had to share
And as I was so much in love So passionate elsewhere
A widow’s tear I’d just appear A hypocrite to care
My king is whom I honor and obey
And whom I love but nonetheless I pray
The God smiles on the lesser man as well
May he lie ever peaceful where he fell
Uriah ever peaceful where he fell.
This is the lyrics!
