I was talking to my mom about the musical, Camelot, because of a conversation I had with Jacob last night. He posted something really sweet about Lancelot and Guinevere onto his blog. After hearing the story from Jacob, I went and asked my mom to tell me more about it. My mom LOVES that musical, so she told me a whole lot about the characters and the story of Lancelot, Guinevere, King Arthur, and Merlin. She also took me online and showed me some of the lyrics and melodies to the songs. Now I am dying to go and rent the movie so that I can see it and hear all of the songs myself. My favorites are"How To Handle A Woman", which is sung by Arthur, "If Ever I Would Leave You", "I Loved You Once In Silence", and "C'est Moi", all sung by Lancelot. (Just as a sidenote, my mom also told me that she was totally in love with the guy who played Lancelot when they did the musical together. That is why she knows all of the love songs so well! lol) Anyway, I thought today I would post the lyrics to one of my favorite songs from Camelot. I can't wait to see it and hear it on the movie!

IF EVER I WOULD LEAVE YOU

If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer
Seeing you in summer I never would go
Your hair streaked with sun-light,Your lips red as flame,
Your face with a lustre that puts gold to shame!

But if I'd ever leave you,It couldn't be in autumn
How I'd leave in autumn I never will know
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air
I know you in autumn
And I must be there

And could I leave you running merrily through the snow
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow
If ever I would leave you
How could it be in springtime
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
Oh no not in springtime
Summer winter or fall
No never could I leave you at all
