Grey Goose Winter Ball.

Dame Shirley

Dame Shirley attended the Grey Goose Winter Ball on Saturday 29th October.  It was held at Battersea Park and was an event organised by the Elton John Aids Foundation.

Astrid’s Simply Bassey #164

Today it is the turn of Jonathan Barrett, who requested that I play And We Were Lovers. This was the theme from “The Sand Pebbles” and is the title song from the 1967 album.

I saw you smiling
As if I could forget
And we were lovers
The moment that we met
And we would wander
Content to wander
Through the golden Summer
With nothing to regret

And we were happy
That moment in our lives
And through my sadness
That happiness survives
And I’ll remember
As the years go by
Till the day I die
That we were lovers

And we were happy
That moment in our lives
And through my sadness
That happiness survives
And I’ll remember
As the years go by
Till the day I die

You and I
You and I

And we were lovers
