(Little Brother)
Well, you send my life a-whirling
Darling, when you're twirling on the floor
And who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow
Than another day?
When you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
(Mate) What was her name again?
(Little Brother) What? Oh, Melody Anne.
My beautiful Melody Anne.
(Mate) Hard not to think of the gals left in port.
(Little Brother) She was my only.
See, it's hard where I come from.
The land's hard. The people are hard.
Sometimes it seemed like Melody Anne was the only soft thing in the county.
Life is ever-changing
But I will always find a constant and comfort in your love
With your heart my soul is bound
And as we dance I know that heaven can be found
When you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
(Mate)
I see the end of the rainbow
But what more is a rainbow
Than colors out of reach?
If you come down to my window
And I'll climb out my window
Then we'll get out of reach
(Ensemble)
Well you send my life a-whirling
Darling, when you're twirling on the floor
And who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow
Than another day?
When you swept me away (Swept me away)
Yeah you swept me away (Swept me away)
(Mate) Enjoy your night, lad.
(Little Brother) You too, sir.
(Mate) She sounds like a fine girl.
Yeah you swept me away
(Little Brother) Yeah you swept me away
