Fifty Years of Letters

Helena and Molly singing about their devotion to each other. Lyrics below:

Sung by Allie McNay & Lisa Ferris
Lyrics & Music: Dan McNay

I will whisper in your ear, my darling
For the rest of your life
In our bed, in a blanket we have woven
With only the mountains and the prairies between

I’ll put my arms around my girl of all girls
And grow you roses for your hair
I’ll love you as a wife loves her husband
As a lonely widow at the ocean, never free

We walked to the steps to the Cooper Union
In Eighteen Sixty-three
To learn to draw and make a living
Only to learn that Art had her own tricks

You were poor and I was rich
No, it was the other way around
You were gorgeous and I was plain
No, we were the beauties never found

But we were!
Those men!
How gentle and wonderful they could be!

I will whisper in your ear, my darling
For the rest of your life
In our bed, in a blanket we have woven
With only the mountains and the prairies between

I will whisper in your ear, my darling
For the rest of your life
In our bed, in a blanket we have woven
With only the mountains and the prairies between
