Song Lyric Sunday 6th September

Jim has given us this theme today ‘Musical/Opera’.

I have never really been an opera fan, even though I enjoyed the movie ‘Tommy’ and bought the soundtrack.
I liked the old musicals though, and most of the music I play is from that era.
There are so many to choose from, classic Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, Les Miserables and Mamma Mia.

I’m going with this from the 1945 musical Carousel.
The song is sung at association football clubs around the world, where it is performed by a massed chorus of supporters on match day; this tradition developed at Liverpool F.C. after the chart success of the 1963 single of the song by the local Liverpool group Gerry and the Pacemakers. In some areas of the UK and Europe, “You’ll Never Walk Alone” became the anthem of support for medical staff, first responders, and those in quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It has even more special memories for me as it was the final song Mum chose for her funeral service, and I sang every word.

You’ll Never Walk Alone (From ”Carousel”)

Written By

Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein II

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There’s a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark
Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There’s a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark
Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
Never walk alone
