What Say You Meg?

[ARTHUR MILLBURN]

Some men will search for paradise

Some place that's never quite precise

Some world beyond just 'round the bend

Where lost horizons have no end

But heaven's here, right on this ground

It's real, it's solid, once it's found

It's no elusive pirate's gold

Some fairy's story told

It's here, it's now, it's in this place

It's as if I always knew

When the face I always conjured up

Was no one else but you

What say you Meg?

How's this story shaping

I want you Meg

By my side

What's the use Meg

To gaze at a view on your own

For richer, for poorer

In sickness and health

I will see this through Meg

No chance of this ending

Such a view Meg

As we gaze

From our house on the hill

To love and to cherish

To have and to hold

I'm a hard man to beat

If I may be so bold

And I promise it all by the sweat of my brow

Tell me what say you Meg now?

(spoken)

I've asked you this before

And so I'm asking again

(sung)

What say you Meg?

What's this story's ending

I want you Meg

We can gaze from our house on the hill

For richer, for poorer

In sickness and health

I'd be hard to replace, if I say so myself

And I promise it all by the sweat of my brow

Tell me what say you Meg now?
