The Heather on the Hill Lyrics by Shirley Jones, Jack Cassidy (Actor)

Brigadoon (1957 Studio Cast Recording)

[TOMMY]
Can't we two go walking together
Out beyond the valley of trees
Out where there's a hillside of heather
Curtsying gently in the breeze?
That's what I'd like to do
See the heather—but with you
The mist of May is in the gloamin'
And all the clouds are holdin' still
So take my hand and let's go roamin'
Through the heather on the hill
The mornin' dew is blinkin' yonder
There's lazy music in the rill
And all I want to do is wander
Through the heather on the hill
There may be other days as rich and rare
There may be other springs as full and fair
But they won't be the same—they'll come and go
For this I know
That when the mist is in the gloamin'
And all the clouds are holdin' still
If you're not there, I won't go roamin'
Through the heather on the hill
The heather on the hill
[FIONA, spoken]
Ye see?
Ye can say nice things when ye want to
[TOMMY, spoken]
Yes
It almost sounded like I was making love to you, didn't it?
[FIONA, spoken]
Oh
There's a difference between makin' love
And just bein' sentimental because ye're tired
[TOMMY, spoken]
Oh, is that what I was being—sentimental because I'm tired?
[FIONA, spoken]
I believe so
But 'tis very agreeable
[FIONA]
The mist of May is in the gloamin'
And all the clouds are holdin' still
So take my hand and we'll go roamin'
Through the heather on the hill
The mornin' dew is blinkin' yonder
There's lazy music in the rill
And 'tis a lovely time to wander
Through the heather on the hill
There may be other days as rich and rare
There may be other springs as full and fair
But they won't be the same—they'll come and go
[TOMMY & FIONA]
For this I know
That when the mist is in the gloamin'
[FIONA]
And all the clouds are holdin' still
[TOMMY]
And all the clouds are holdin' still
[FIONA]
If you're not there, I won't go roamin'
[TOMMY & FIONA]
Through the heather on the hill
The heather on the hill
