Gabby
edit- All's well!
What's a rainy day?
Never mind that cloud,
Behind that cloud you'll find a golden ray.
All's well!
Laugh your fears away.
See the light ahead, right ahead.
There's a moonlit night ahead.
Everyone, come on have fun. All's well! - There's a giant on the beach!
David
edit- Forever, forever,
There won't be anyone but you.
Remember I'm true, my sweet.
Forever, forever,
You'll share in everything I do,
And keep smiling through, my sweet.
I'll have just you here in my heart,
And I'll trust you though we're apart.
So, forever, forever,
My guiding angel you will be,
So always have faith in me.
Gulliver
edit- Come now, don't let my size frighten you.
- I hear a dream all day
A dream that calls to me
Come home again you sailor man, sailor man
Home again to the sea. - Two hearts and a wedding broken by a melody? Incredible! Hold on! I have an idea that might turn this malice into a melody! Sing "Faithful" and "Forever" together, as one song!
- Poor, poor, foolish little people. Look what you've done. Now go ahead, break your nutshell heads over your songs! But did you have to break Glory's heart, King Little? Because you were thoughtless and selfish...and you, Bombo! O mighty warrior...what have you won? You were too stubborn to think. Too busy quarreling to lend ear to the harmony that might have been yours. But now in your sorrow and despair, perhaps you'll listen to your songs as they might be sung.
